- I'm optimistic Terry McAuliffe will be a pro-business governor.
- This is new territory. There really isn't any precedent. You think Seattle has a pretty liberal electorate, but you haven't seen someone who calls themselves a socialist win.
- And on a strategic note, Miss Cottle: before we enter the 2016 election cycle and the feminists come asking black women for our support for your candidate, you might want to read up a bit on black women and our feminism. I can send you a syllabus.
- For the first time in our history, the winners of the White House Turkey Pardon were chosen through a highly competitive online vote. And once again, Nate Silver completely nailed it. The guy is amazing.
- Republicans have a problem. If they don’t pass immigration reform, they can say ‘adios’ to the White House in 2016.
- [President Obama] made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be -- I shouldn't say this at Christmastime -- but the next messiah.
- Today, unfortunately, the right to vote seems to have become a partisan issue. Democrats seek to guarantee and expand voting rights. Republicans try to undermine and suppress voting rights.
- You can’t build a base for a candidacy in a year, or two years, or even four years. The only way to get candidates worth having is to build the social force that will create candidates worth having.
- All political movements are like this: we are in the right, everyone else is in the wrong. The people on our own side who disagree with us are heretics, and they start becoming enemies. With it comes an absolute conviction of your own moral superiority. There's oversimplification in everything, and a terror of flexibility.
- As goes Ohio, so goes the presidential race…We've got a full time field staff there now in Ohio. We’ve got full time offices now…This was something that, historically, unfortunately, our party's only been involved with during the last five months of a campaign. I think it's been terrible for our party. We've changed things at the RNC.
- What’s with the poverty Tourette’s? Why do these two think we need a hobo for president?
- [Kevin Spacey] portrays this person with all the wrong things you hear about Washington. He literally murders one member [of Congress]. If I could murder one member, I'd never have to worry about another vote.
