“It's hard to tell people things they don't want to hear.”

“I was not won over by Trump's campaign in 2016, but I can admit that he had an uncanny ability to read a room and focus on issues that mattered to his voters.”

“What I've found genuinely special about my first Mother's Day is the time I've spent reflecting on what being a mom means to me, and what I want for my daughter, Cleo.”

“Hispanic voters are a more complex profile than other traditionally left-leaning groups. They tend to be more conservative and religious, in many cases. Their attitudes towards immigration also vary, based on their own experiences, and voting decisions are often misunderstood as being exclusively immigration-focused.”

“I do a fair amount of evening shows at Fox so am often there until about 8, and then I go out to dinner because eating peanut butter out of the jar is the extent of my cooking.”

“Pelosi has shown great flexibility with party members in the name of winning in the past. She pushed the Democratic National Committee to change position on imposing a pro-choice litmus test for Democratic candidates. She also gave candidates the go-ahead to bash her or even disavow her on the campaign trail.”

“Is there a more gifted political communicator than Obama? Certainly not since former President Clinton, another Democratic luminary who could put a positive spin on even the worst news.”

“If the choice is between a political party and the well-being of their children, parents will choose their children - every time.”

“Pelosi has fought hard for her entire career for the empowerment of women, and is a direct beneficiary of her success in this fight.”

“Generational stereotyping is a particular favorite when it comes to value-judgment-based shorthand: The Greatest Generation are patriots. Boomers are set in their ways and looking forward to retirement. Gen Xers are rebel slackers. Millennials are lazy, entitled financial failures.”

“I can't be anything else but a tall Jewish girl from Tribeca. But motherhood and parenting has put a new column on the board that has made me see the world completely differently and definitely has not made me more conservative in that view whatsoever.”

“I went straight into grad school out of college.”

“No one has ever mistaken me for a Bill Maher fan.”

“One of the great gifts of social media is the safe space it has created for millennials and GenZs to creatively express their views on issues that matter, such as climate change, money, education, health care, cute animals, beauty and, of course, generational warfare.”

“A politician has nothing without the public trust.”

“The more time and energy House Democrats spend attacking each other, the less able they will be to attack President Trump and other Republicans and the harmful policies backed by the GOP.”

“The Constitution created a system of checks and balances designed to prevent the president from becoming a king or a dictator. Our founders had just fought the Revolutionary War to create a democracy - not to simply replace a British king with an American monarch.”

“I'm an admitted Hillary fan-girl, but even the coldest hearted Republicans will have to admit that she has always wanted every American to have health care, a chance at a quality education and opportunity for a bright future.”

“There are two schools of thought among liberals when it comes to conservative media narratives. The first is to ignore. Who cares what Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity are saying? We have our own channels of communication. The second is to pay close attention and recognize the widespread impact of right-wing media narratives.”

“There is so much that was remarkable about Elizabeth II, but perhaps her greatest impact was the continuity that she provided for her people at home, abroad - and including us.”
