I don't think [Donald] Trump was playing rope-a-dope. He probably said, "Look, I've done these. How many debates did we do in the primaries? I know what's happening."

I've always said that people are desperate to find meaning in their lives.

Most societies wipe themselves out and it's interesting to read about the last days of past civilizations. You'll note that the last days of past civilizations were filled with idiotic, irrational ideas and behaviors that couldn't be explained by reason.

The summit is the mere formality, the ceremonial demonstration of what was agreed to long ago, weeks, months before the summit.

Bill Clinton is the guy that said, "The era of Big Government is over." Whether or not he meant it or not, he said it.

I think if Donald Trump skipped out on a debate, for whatever reason he gave, I don't think it would help him at all.

The American dream has now morphed into an expectation. And if it isn't provided, or if it doesn't happen, then people feel cheated.
