It's not appeasement to talk to your enemies.

You don't need to know who's playing on the White House tennis court to be a good president

I understand personally, ... that it is frustrating to lose presidential elections by narrow margins.

Sometimes an active policy is best advanced by doing nothing until the right time - or never.

If you're not gonna pull the trigger, don't point the gun.

Sometimes you move publicly, sometimes privately. Sometimes quietly, sometimes at the top of your voice.

You talk to your enemies, not just your friends.
