“Right now, just about everything our government touches is broken or they break it. It’s always over-budget, behind schedule, and simply nothing works. Look at the Veterans Administration, where new hospitals come in hundreds of millions of dollars over-budget. And yet our brave veterans still don’t…”— Donald Trump, time.com
“Our agreement with the government required completion of the project by 2018. We were dramatically ahead of schedule on this project and under budget. We turned a property that had been neglected for decades, and which was losing huge sums of money for the federal government, into a major revenue pr…”— Donald Trump, time.com
“A project like this demonstrates what is possible when a team works together for a totally common purpose. It also shows how to work with our government and to get things done. My theme today is five words: under budget and head of schedule. That’s what we do — under budget and ahead of schedule.”— Donald Trump, time.com
“2016 is a year that has challenged political norms and traditional coalitions, something that is evident in Gaston County. The faultlines in America, this election has shown, are between white and nonwhite and increasingly between those with a college education and those without it.”— Clare Malone, fivethirtyeight.com
“Gaston County is made up of cities and towns filled with modest homes and businesses. Most of its roughly 200,000 residents are white, and more than half of people aged 25 and over have attended at least some college. In 2012, Mitt Romney won the suburban county easily, 62 percent to President Obama…”— Clare Malone, fivethirtyeight.com
“One group within North Carolina that I'm really keeping my eye on are college educated whites. It's a group Republicans have traditionally won, but with Trump on the top of the ticket they're behaving differently, they are moving more toward the Democratic column.”— Clare Malone, fivethirtyeight.com
“One of my first acts as President will be to deport the drug lords and then secure the border.”— Donald Trump, twitter.com
“Plain & Simple: We should only admit into this country those who share our VALUES and RESPECT our people.”— Donald Trump, twitter.com
“In the 30-plus years that Bill and Hillary have been in the public eye, we’ve bristled at the way transparency always seems to be an inconvenience to them. They constantly want to work for the public, yet lose their shit when that same public wants accountability. We’re well beyond ‘right-wing consp…”— Ken Crossland, medium.com
“I think Hillary Clinton has operated in the upper-stratosphere of public life for so long, that I generally feel like she doesn’t quite understand the optics of everything she does. She’s obviously a very smart woman, but the cocoon of government and power seems to have skewed her perspective on wha…”— Ken Crossland, medium.com
“The State Department, noticing gaps in their files, actually sent official letters to former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and Hillary Clinton, asking for additional records. In response, Clinton and her team released 55,000 pages of emails that were relate…”— Ken Crossland, medium.com
“The constant term thrown around is that Clinton was running a secret email server, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Hillary Clinton’s email address was visible to anyone who received a message from her — or anyone on her staff. The idea that this was some clandestine move by Clinton to m…”— Ken Crossland, medium.com
“Classification is a strange beast in the government, and the rules aren’t exactly clear-cut. Classification, for the most part, is governed by a small set of guidelines, with human judgment being the most important criteria. The reasoning for classification doesn’t always have to be a great one— sim…”— Ken Crossland, medium.com
“Like most things bad in Hillary Clinton’s life, the email problem can be traced back to her husband, former President Bill Clinton.”— Ken Crossland, medium.com
“[Obama dispels protestor] All right, I think we’re okay now. I notice this has been happening everywhere, and I keep on telling folks you’ve got to organize your own rallies. If you’re confident about the other guy, just go to his rallies. I feel confident about my candidate. That’s why I’m at this…”— Barack Obama, newsweek.com
“And I told you then, eight years ago, that I wasn’t a perfect person and I wasn’t going to be a perfect President, but what I guaranteed you, though, was that I would work every single day as hard as I could to make sure that working families all across this country got a better deal.”— Barack Obama, newsweek.com
“When you looked at that horrible woman last night, you said I don’t think so. I don’t think so. Whoever she is, wherever she comes from, the stories are total fiction. They’re 100 percent made up, they never happened, they never would happen. I don’t think they’d happen with very many people but the…”— Donald Trump, time.com
“As you have seen, right now I am being viciously attacked with lies and smears. It’s a phony deal. I have no idea who these women are, have no idea. I have no idea. And I think you all know I have no idea because you understand me for a lot of years, OK?”— Donald Trump, time.com
“And no paper is more corrupt than the failing New York Times. The good news is it is failing, it won’t be around too much longer. But they are really, really bad people. The largest shareholder in the Times is Carlos Slim. Now Carlos Slim, as you know, comes from Mexico. He’s given many millions of…”— Donald Trump, time.com
“What a rigged system folks. Last night, we had a massive crowd of over 20,000 people in Cincinnati, filled up an arena. And the media won’t even talk about the size of the crowd, the enthusiasm of the crowd. I watched NBC this morning, they said, last night Donald Trump was in Cincinnati. If Hillary…”— Donald Trump, time.com
