Donald Trump lives and operates in a political world, but he's not political. This is what people still don't get.

When a poll is really, really out of whack with what I want to happen, I do have a tendency to disregard it.

I think we're in store for a presidency [of Donald Trump] even more unlike any that people have been imagining. I think it's gonna be tough to predict this and to analyze it, certainly in contemporary, traditional terms.

In no way, shape, manner, or form could the conservative movement or a conservative, a Burkean conservative could never, ever vote for some low-life like Donald Trump. It might affect their fundraising, which they need. It might affect their cruises, which they need. There could be any number of reasons for it, but in their minds it's rooted in principle.

Donald Trump has defied practically every playbook or blue book technique in dispatching an opponent.

I think Senator [Ted] Cruz's strategy is that there's 4.5 million, 5 million Republicans that didn't vote in 2012. This is the conventional wisdom and they didn't vote because they didn't like the nominee, wasn't conservative enough, or there was a religious component. Who knows what?

Freedom without virtue isn't freedom - it will eventually destroy a society.
