I never felt comfortable with making political decisions based on whether, you know, it was the right thing to do in terms of a poll.
Donald Trump is going to win. Donald Trump is going to win because in the end, the country is not going to reward big banks and big unions and big bureaucracies and big donors and big corruption by voting for a big liar.
If free will exists, why do the tallest candidates with the best hair usually win elections ?
Electoral turnout is falling among the young, and political apathy is on the rise.
I just read that 81 percent of Americans are ready to vote for a woman. So it sounds like America is ready.
The Republicans went so far to the right that they just can't get votes. They've become a dedicated party of the very rich and the corporate sector.
People tell me, "Well, you understand where the voters are, Jeff, where the votes are, or what people are thinking," and they'll sort of - in a complimentary way. And it's a bit of an acknowledgement that we've been blind to some of these issues for too long.
You're probably bored now hearing me cite how many seats the Democrats lost nationwide, national, state, local, in those three elections, In the 2010 midterms, the 2014 midterms, and in 2016. It's over 1500 seats.
The Democrats are losing. And look, folks, I don't mean to beat a dead horse here. I'm not doing anything other than pointing out what's actually factually happening. I'm not drawing any inferences from it. The Democrats are actually losing as themselves. They are losing elections if they are honest about what they want to do. It doesn't surprise me at all that Jon Ossoff would be running around.
No president has ever been elected with unemployment over 8 percent.
Maybe you want to look at the most recent polling or you want to pull up a data set on early voting in Ohio, but when you cover politics day-to-day and you've been doing it for many election cycles, you're prepared. You either know this stuff because you've been doing it so long or you don't and that shows real quick.
While Romney has an overall deficit with women voters, his biggest disadvantage is with college educated women - wherever they work, at home, in an office, a store or a factory.
Voters seem to enjoy voting for what experts believe they won't vote for.
The GOP cannot expect to win the presidency in the future by simply relying on running up big numbers with white voters.
Any poll is a picture of an unfinished horse race except the Election Day polls.
You have to go back to the 1920s, almost a hundred years, to find the Democrat Party as weak and out of power as it is today. How did that happen with just one election? It didn't happen in one election. The fact is the Democrats have been losing elections, except for the White House, for the last eight years in numbers that have not been reported.
The youth of this country are not behind what is going on. We all know that. If you looked at a [political] map of the United States 25 and under, it's all-revealing. It's a unified map.
Today the Washington Post did an article; they compared the 2008 presidential election to the 1932 presidential election. They did a comparison, mainly because 1932 was the first time John McCain ran for president.
Many people think that Puerto Rico would be a Democratic state just by virtue of the inclination of the Latino population in the United States, but the reality is that I see Puerto Rico as a battleground state.
Even if I am being conservative, I don't see how Obama can lose.
Half of the American people never read a newspaper. Half never vote for president. One hopes it is the same half
Electoral contests have nothing but polls, which is why people have grown so obsessed with them; we're desperate for an objective rendering of what is happening and what may happen.
California is going to be quite good for the Democrats. But the rest of the country is a draw.
Opinion polls are not worth the paper they are written on, in my view, through the conference season. They don't settle down again until November.
The Democrats were losing elections everywhere, except when Obama was on the ballot - and that is the racial component.
