There's a sense in which politicians can never work hard enough.
We should work towards a legislation to sack non-performing politicians. This may not happen during my lifetime, but I will try for it anyway.
Approval ratings matter for politicians, largely for good reason. A leader with plummeting approval ratings ought to take note of the needs and hopes of his people.
We are hiring too many people who are called politicians, and we are not holding them accountable…. You do not hire someone and not tell them what to do. Make a trip to Washington and see that they are doing what you want them to do.
Most of the people who are in elective office in Washington, D.C., they have held public office before. How's that workin' for you?
The world of messaging is the world of campaign consultants, of politicians, who are like trained seals who are given their message and then they perform. I’m not into that.
Ultimately, it is the people who judge, through elections, whether someone governs well or not. It's not up to other politicians to define and determine our colleagues.
To me, political action involves making the politician who represents us know that he either produces or he is out, and he's out one way or another.
The people in Florida think that Marco Rubio's literally defrauded them because you look at what he does. He never goes and votes. He's never over there.
