I think what we're seeing on a lot of parts of the right is people bending their positions and their principles on account of the fact that Donald Trump won.

Hollywood's martyr-mythology leaves out the fact that the famed Hollywood Ten, for example, were in fact members of the Communist Party, which advocated the violent overthrow of the U.S. government in violation of the Smith Act and which took orders directly from Moscow.

Capitalism is the greatest system ever created for alleviating general human misery, and yet it breeds ingratitude.

A lot of the things that Trump needs to do to be a popular president requires annoying his biggest fans.

I think there needs to be a meeting to set an agenda for more meetings about meetings.

But if the choice is a cool president and 8 or 10 percent unemployment in a declining economy and a country that seems to be going in the wrong direction and structural unemployment for young people at 50 percent, I'd rather have a dorky president who fixed those problems.

The GOP needs to figure out a way to become more appealing to new constituencies.
