When I think about this election, I think about my grandchildren a lot. There's nothing I wouldn't do for them. I like to say Facetime was invented for grandparents! I wonder, what kind of lives are they going to have, and what kind of country is going to be waiting for them.
I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone’s getting dressed and ready and everything else...And you know, no men are anywhere. And I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant. And therefore I’m inspecting it. [...] Is everyone okay? You know they’re standing there with no clothes.…
Just because you draw big crowds doesn't mean you're winning the election. If all you needed to win was a big crowd of people, our next president would be Ikea on a Saturday.

Were they to support Clinton now, even by the narrowest of pluralities, it would send a strong message to the Republican Party to turn their backs on Trumpism and to work with Clinton where they can, r…
[Trump's campaign] was designed to inflame a vocal minority of us who haven't adjusted to the fact that the America where white males brought home the bacon from secure factory jobs — and didn't have to deal with a globe of different ethnic backgrounds — is gone for good.
Trump's outsider candidacy did at least start out with some good intentions. He was more willing to challenge the GOP's religious right, and he took a more critical view of the last Republican presidency than other candidates. He also avoided special-interest money, making it easier for him to take…
If she is elected, Clinton would be well advised to be much more transparent and to wall herself and her administration off from the influence of lobbyists.
Yes, there are flaws and concerns, as there would be with anyone who has danced in the minefield of public life for 40 years. Clinton can be disturbingly secretive and has made a few big errors, the most significant being her use of a private email server during her tenure at the State Department. B…
[Hillary's] secret plan to reform health care in America during her husband's administration fell incompetently apart. But she learned from that experience and, as a senator, worked across party lines to extend health insurance to millions of children.
This election presents the two most unpopular candidates in recent history. One has developed a reputation for secrecy and dishonesty. The other built a campaign on insults and bigoted statements, finally losing any right to be taken seriously with the recent release of a video in which he was heard…
There is no question that there are many Americans who feel lost and confused about a world that, in their eyes, has left them behind. Significant numbers of people have expressed a desire to blow up the system and start over. Or, more accurately, to pull America back to a day that was special only…
It is time to get serious. It has been amusing, to a degree, to watch the circus that was the Republican primary process struggle and fuss and finally produce such a disappointment to be its presidential nominee.
Rumors have been circulating for months that Trump’s back-up plan if he loses in November will be to start a media network catered to his voter base.
Just for reference. I work in a locker room (every day)... that is not locker room talk. Just so you know...
'Locker room talk', 'Boys will be boys', 'Harmless banter'. These are not valid excuses for behavior. Never have been, never will be.

'Grab them by the pussy' isn't talk from any locker room I've ever been in. It's a Ted Bundy quote. #debate2016
