As a survivor, you learn how to talk fast, cut deals, lie when you have to - perfect training to be a politician, you know?

In 2016, Trump, with his outsized ego, his anti-immigrant and anti-trade positions, coupled with barely disguised racism and deep-seated sexism and a willingness to lie whenever it suited him, was a near perfect fit.

If we have intelligence on the location of terrorist training centers, it is insane not to act.

Trump has predicated his whole campaign on the unfairness of the playing field. Big corporations, rich donors, big media, and trade deals that punish the little guy.

The legislator learns that when you talk a lot, you get in trouble. You have to listen a lot to make deals.

We're trying to cultivate these deals as fast as we can.
