Critics of Donald Trump take him literally, but not seriously. His supporters take him seriously, but not literally.

George Bush says what John Kerry did was noble. Yet he sees him being savaged by his own supporters.

I don't hear any clear, coherent message [from Democrats]. I mean, when you're a party out of power, it's the time to be a national party chair.

We have weakened the parties and strengthened all the special interests.

Everyone has to take Donald Trump seriously, and I think that's what we're seeing.

Everybody who served in John Kerry's boat under his command save one has stood with him.

It's fine to be an activist, but you're not - if you're not putting up candidates, if you're not getting political, if you're not in your party, then you're probably not going to have long-term change. You will probably dissipate.
