Ideology

- You know what, it really is time for a change. You deceived us when you went to Obama and Pelosi to get your votes for the CrOmnibus. You said you’d fight amnesty tooth and nail - you didn’t. You funded it! And then you took the only hostage that Obama would like for us to shoot. It was a terrible strategy, and it follows a number of years of broken promises. It’s time for a change.
- I think one of the most important things we did as a party this cycle is we didn’t nominate any cavemen. It’s very hard to climb out from under that…anytime somebody said something boneheaded on our side of the aisle, we’d pounce on that and say, ‘You don’t speak for Republicans; that’s not our position.’
- After Florida State, [we’re at] 90 school shootings since Sandy Hook. Newsflash to my colleagues – this isn’t normal. Do something.
- Me and Jaden just figured out that our voices sound like chocolate together. As good as chocolate tastes, it sounds that good.
- The decision…to announce the [Ferguson] decision at 8:30 p.m. CT was foolish and dangerous. Here's the thing about that time of night: it's dark. Anyone – anyone! - should have known the decision in the Brown case would have been controversial. A decision not to indict, which was always possible, even likely, would have been sure to attract protests, even violence. Crowd control is always more difficult in the dark.
- I’ve lived in Washington for nearly 50 years, so I have met all the presidents, many senators, many congress people, and many governors. And I always said the best politician - at the height of his political life - was Marion Barry.
- The Obama administration is now in the market for their fourth secretary of defense. When the president goes through three secretaries, he should ask, ‘Is it them, or is it me?’
- Ray [Rice] understands that violent behavior like this - even one time - is never acceptable. Ray told the truth and has fully accepted responsibility for his actions, which allowed us to work together at improving ourselves and get to the better place we are [at] today.
- My favorite athlete ever is Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson's all about passing. It's all about, like, setting up players, setting up people. I like dishing out and watching somebody jam. Actually, I get great pleasure from that.
- I hate white people who come to me with all their race-related questions. Like, go read a book. I am not your literal Encyclopedia Brown.
- We want our country to go in a conservative direction, where the patients have the power; where we have no shame in using American natural resources to create better jobs for working families; where we, the people, have the power and not the federal government.
- The time for remorse would have been when my husband was screaming to breath.
