I've always believed that the fundamental, driving strategic ethos of the Republican House leadership has been, 'What do we do to get through the next caucus or conference without getting yelled at?' We should never assume they have a long game.

I do think the strategy of Trump, and now the Republican Party, is to eviscerate the idea of objective truth.

I think on a whole host of issues Washington tends to be a lagging indicator on public opinion.

Every legislative meeting on how to pass health care, the communications director or someone from the communications team would be a part of because we did a lot of press interviews when we were trying to pass the Affordable Care Act specifically designed to help pass the bill.

Well, I think that - I think leadership's always been about two main things: imagination and courage.

Because of Obama's ill-advised actions, the world has lost American leadership.

I think leadership is knowing what you want to achieve and then purposefully and sensibly taking steps to achieve it, remembering always that you have got to bring people with you if you are seeking to be a successful political leader.

I think directors should be confident in their leadership capabilities. I think directors should be confident in what they want to do.
