The party cannot be competitive nationally unless it's competitive in California, Oregon, Washington, New England, Pennsylvania, along the coasts. And the problem for the party is, you can't get there from here. You can't start out where the current Republicans are and win back those places. To me, what you have to do is create a different Republican Party that can win in those places.

I would have swapped out Donald Trump's frontal cortex for somebody else's for a little more self-control.

If you know that most processing is below the level of awareness, you learn the value of sleep. You're brain is working on the problem anyway.

I think Romney's foreign policy is sensible.

I think the Democrats are right to protest, but I don't think Jeff Sessions is so far out of the range of normalcy that he shouldn't be confirmed.

I don't know.
