This is a hallmark trait of the left. There is never any effort to elevate anybody. Liberalism is all about tearing down. Liberalism is all about lowering. It is all about destroying 'em.

It's all about raising more money. And they have to keep this alive, so Hillary [Clinton] got cheated.

I thought Donald Trump once again just missed a whole bunch of opportunities to bury Hillary Clinton, and he missed them because he's not a politician, and he's not instinctively oriented toward the ideological explanations that undergird Hillary's policies.

In addition to trying to do the right thing and obey the law and follow principle, there's a part of the conservative, slash, Republican movement that believes if we just show that we're fair and impeccable, then we will get credit from those who think we're all these horrible things, and maybe they won't hate us as much.

Has Donald Trump ever called himself a populist? I don't think Donald Trump's ever called himself a populist. I think other people have called him a populist, and other people have called Steve Bannon a populist. But I don't think Trump's ever called himself that and he may not know what one is, within the political realm or definition. He's not a political person, and that I think is leading to many people having just a devil of a time translating the guy, analyzing the guy, predicting the guy, projecting the guy.

I cannot overemphasize this, the attitude, the defeatist attitude that everybody on the Republican side had.

Where two nations are gonna have a summit and a joint agreement's gonna be announced, the joint agreement and the language is all decided before the summit ever happens.
