I never knew how ugly and how stupid I was until, you know, we had Twitter.

I don't sugarcoat things, but I'm very polite in delivering them.
Women in my focus groups, they say a bald man is trustworthy. He has nothing to hide.
Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama, each were told repeatedly, 'You can't win.' They all won.
Women, if left to their own devices, are going to tend and trend Democratic. That is absolutely the case.
The fact is that Hillary Clinton could not stand up to a cheating husband, so how in the world would she stand up to North Korea and some of our other enemies around the globe?
To me, it's a different kind of voter suppression to constantly try to make people feel like the election is over before it's even begun.
The average American is more focused on leadership than likeability. And more focused on qualifications than quality of speakership.
Voters go into the ballot box with big ideas in their mind: leadership, change, experience, hope.
To be confronted as you exit the polling place is really a matter of if you have the time, if you have the inclination to speak to a stranger, and if you want to divulge what is a very sacred, private matter - the way that you just voted.
Most women say 'Please speak to me from the waist up: my brain, my eyes.'
Although it shouldn't be, men behaving badly is sort of an occupational hazard for those working in Washington.
It wasn't like anybody said, 'Oh, Ronald Reagan will have a landslide in 1980.' In fact, you look back at the Dukakis numbers, the Perot numbers, there was always this presumption that the Republican was going to lose. Not just that the Democrat would win, but that the Republican was going to lose.
Caucuses are different than primaries, and winner-take-all primaries are how Mitt Romney eventually took over Newt Gingrich in 2012 and why Rick Santorum left.
I tell people all the time, 'Don't be fooled, because I am a man by day.'
I think that people have realized it's very unwise to bet against Donald Trump.
Voters deserve - and they indeed expect - a good debate on the issues.
Women have been late-in-the-game deciders. They weigh all of the issues, all of the images, and all of the information and make a choice almost at the last minute.
The Republican Party is too fixated on this fiction of electability.
Donald Trump is at his very best, at his very best, when he talks about the issues.
I look at what the polls say about attributes. I noticed in 2004 that George W. Bush led John Kerry by double digits for eight straight months on the question of who is more likely to take a position and stick with it.
Sexual harassment is as difficult to prove as it is to disprove.
In New York, the currency is money. You have money, and you get anonymity.
Donald Trump performs consistently better in online polling, where a human being is not talking to another human being about what he or she may do in the election.
The errors in media polling rarely benefit a Republican.
Of course there's racism in this country, and we have a terrible history of that in this nation.
The caricatures that the mainstream media and the Democrats have about Republicans have taken hold.
The fact is, in Mike Huckabee's case, he can say, 'I was a preacher, I'm a Christian, and so I believe that life begins at conception, ends at natural death.'
The country is increasingly culturally conservative, with a small C. Every time marriage is on the ballot, it passes. People are increasingly pro-life. They don't like taxes.
To women, a flip-flopper is the functional equivalent of the guy who never calls and always changes his mind.
Republican politics can sometimes feel like you're walking into, you know, an Elks Club or bachelor party.
I've been in a very male-dominated business for decades. I found, particularly early on, that there's plenty of room for passion, but there's very little room for emotion.
Gov. Huckabee seems like somebody who could run effectively against a female candidate and not make it seem like he's being derogatory and impolite.
I want to do right, apart from my gender - I want to do right as a campaign manager.
I've noticed a lot of people are very bold and blustery on Twitter because it's easy to do that with the poison keyboard and a hundred and forty characters.
Pro-lifers believe there are two victims in an abortion: the unborn child and the woman who felt that that was her best option.
If the Republican Party does not learn to understand unmarried women as the political force and potent voting bloc that they have become, we risk becoming the minority party.
Donald Trump embraces his wealth. Hillary Clinton wants us to forget that she made $21.5 million on 92 speeches.
2016 is a change election, and that favors Trump.
Most political wives are accidental politicians.
The hidden Trump vote in this country is a very significant proposition.
Romney, like Sen. John McCain and Bob Dole before him, were meant to mollify moderates, attract Independents, and 'rebrand' the party in a way that mostly fits the ideal of media types who would never vote Republican anyhow. Each of them lost.
Nothing creates a winner quite like earning it, not just inheriting it.
Candidates matter. Campaigns matter. 'He can win' or 'She can't win' is up there with, 'I'm going to lose 10 pounds, win the lottery, and live forever.' Saying it does not make it so.
Women look at the full measure of the man, not just one comment.
I didn't even know I was the first female Republican campaign manager until someone pointed it out to me on Twitter, and I said that can't be true. And then I realized this must be such a small group of women. And right away, I know them all - Susan Estrich and Donna Brazile and Beth Myers - and I respect them enormously.
Very few people know anybody like John McCain, someone who suffered and had his body, yet not his spirit, broken for six years as a POW and who has served his nation.
In Gov. Huckabee's case, consistency is seen as principle... and that's incredibly valuable to voters.
What's happened with the over-the-counter birth control issue is that the Democrats didn't see it coming. They think that they've got a monopoly on talking to women from the waist down. Anything that has to do with reproduction and birth control and abortion - they call it women's health, then they call it women's issues.
If you heard 40 times in a day that Newt Gingrich takes the wings off of butterflies, eventually you'd believe it.
