We've all been wrong- I certainly have- and we should thank those who set us right. Not always fun, but always best in the end.

The elite isn't leading anymore. It's trapped.

Republicans have to move to a point of greater unity.

I have a range of scenarios. One of them is a chaos, that what could happen is Congress does step up a little bit and the administration is paralyzed. And we go through all kinds of constitutional crises, impeachment or the 25th Amendment removal process. Another frightening scenario is Donald Trump is steering his way to a series of international confrontations at the same time as he's appeasing Russia.

One can shape history as much through the facts one omits as through the facts one includes.

The system has evolved to protect parties from people like Donald Trump. It really is true that people without well-established public records, without proven capability in public service, without tested beliefs and at least apparently under the influence of a foreign power, such people are screened out by major parties.

Events don't happen because I write a speech. I am allowed to write a speech because events are going to happen.
