“There's a reason most Republicans and a vast majority of voters loathe Donald Trump: his vulgarity, his blistering ignorance, his constant dishonesty, his venality, and his utter lack of the knowledge, judgment, or temperament to be president of the United States.”

“Trump would rather submerge himself in the lake of fire for a thousand years than talk about Russia again. It's the subject he can never avoid, never fully wash out.”

“Long sentence or short, everything Trump touches dies - even his most loyal henchman.”

“As Trump's mistakes pile up, Congress will be left on cleanup detail.”

“Donald Trump, like many cult leaders, understands the power his words will have over the minds and actions of his followers... but few cult leaders have a pet media infrastructure.”

“McConnell is the most talented majority leader in a generation. He has complete control of his caucus and understands and exploits their weaknesses, ambitions, and desires. In an impeachment trial where his members knew Trump's guilt was absolute and unequivocal, he bribed and browbeat them into submission.”

“I've written about this before, but the sad truth is this: There are only a handful of Trump true believers in the Senate. The rest are chugging a toxic slurry of cowardice, ambition, and opportunism that has led members of the upper house of a co-equal branch of government to relinquish their power and prerogatives.”

“There are no points for civility or decency when it comes to prosecuting the campaign against Donald Trump.”

“Donald Trump's campaign is good at two things; hoovering up hundreds of millions of dollars from MAGA fans and spending them to move his poll numbers... nowhere.”

“It's not that I mind fighting with Trump's cheer squad... it's that it's so rarely a fair fight.”

“A large plurality of the Trump electorate believed the definition of 'conservative' was simply 'Not Hillary.'”

“Trump devotees don't care about shrinking the size and scope of government. They don't care about the Constitution. They're not Republicans, except as a flag of convenience.”

“Trump has learned over his long career as a lying liar who lies that none of his stories have to be true.”

“Disasters happen. Nature refuses to cooperate with the best-laid plans of kings and lesser men alike.”

“The first two weeks of Donald Trump's Presidency made it clear: Trump's Gonna Trump. No newfound dignity for him.”

“Trump would have us revise and edit our historical memory of 9/11, turning it from a unifying narrative of heroism, tragedy, and war and recast it to serve the political ends of a man unworthy of the presidency.”

“Every re-election campaign is a referendum on the incumbent. Every. Single. One.”

“What really hits Trump is when you prove to people that Trump isn't for you - that Trump is about Trump.”

“Even the most liberal reporters I know have a sense of drive and curiosity about what the Clintons are hiding, because they know it's always something.”

“Extinction isn't pretty, especially when you know it's coming and do nothing about it.”
