Character matters; leadership descends from character.

I used to have a phrase: Liberalism is spreading misery equally. And now the ruling class throughout Washington seems to have adopted this.

Hillary Clinton has been The Smartest Woman in the World in her circle since 1970 when she went away to college.

This is what happens in politics. The establishment doesn't like Ted Cruz either. It's not just Donald Trump. That's because he is who he is. He is conservative. He does want to get government out of people's lives and that - we can't have that in the establishment.

What's the difference between a liberal and a conservative? A liberal will interpret the constitution, a conservative will quote it!

There is a route to the presidency in this country, and it's called the Electoral College, and both candidates base their campaigns on winning the Electoral College, not the popular vote. And in that pursuit, Donald Trump won in a landslide or near landslide. And in that pursuit, Barack Obama and his agenda was repudiated. And not just this year. In the 2010 midterms, the 2014 midterms, and this election.

Just wait and see this stuff play out as it does. But if, for example, why would he say some human activity linked to climate change when he has gone on record as saying that he doesn't believe it and we're gonna get people out of the EPA who do and we're gonna stop playing games with this. Why would he say it? [Donald Trump] wants to build a bridge with the opposition. This is why you don't see me at Trump Tower going up and down the elevators.
