“I'll never stop loving Election Night.”

“In an era of streaming and cable television, most programs capture only a small portion of America's over 330 million-person population.”

“Coloradans reacted adversely to gun control legislation signed into law by Hickenlooper.”

“The Yankees were the dominant team of the 20th century. They won more World Series than I care to count, though I'm sure your Yankee fan friend can tell you that it's more than stars in the sky. Yet, it wasn't until the 1920s when the Yankees began their run of World Series victories.”

“There is no real correlation between how late or how early a field forms and the eventual nominee's success in the general election. Democrats, for example, won the presidency in both 1992 and 2008, even with a much later start in 1992.”

“Trump has continually been weakest among party moderates.”

“I think the biggest mistake that any of us made in the 2016 cycle was not in the general election, at least folks who look at the polls daily, but actually in the primary.”

“Campaigns that are steady in the early going have a tendency to remain that way to the end.”

“One fascinating element of the Biden presidency has been how Americans still seem to be entranced with Trump, even though he is no longer president. I've long pointed out that more people search for Trump than Biden on Google.”

“When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong.”

“Beating an incumbent president isn't easy. The majority do win reelection when they run.”

“There's room for more than one great team in the NFL.”

“Early gubernatorial polling is, like early Senate polling, fairly predictive of who will win in the fall.”

“Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights leader and an American hero.”

“If off-year elections were all that predictive, Democrats would have done well in the 2002 midterms.”

“Those that know me understand that I hate any turn of the phrase 'permanent majority.' I almost always believe that there are larger, mostly uncontrollable, factors at play such as the state of the economy for national elections that have a greater influence in determining the outcome.”

“Many professional pollsters have long thought that Public Policy Polling's methods were suspect.”

“Acing a history test in seventh grade taught me nothing. Failing 95% of my grammar quizzes in eighth grade made me work harder and become a better writer.”

“Texas Senator Ted Cruz is seen as a figurehead for Tea Party conservatives.”

“The failure of the GOP establishment to back a single Trump alternative in 2016 was part of the reason he was able to win the nomination. Elected Republican officials were split on whom they wanted to be the nominee, and Trump was able to take advantage of this divided field.”
