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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
I think that people have realized it's very unwise to bet against Donald Trump.
Most women say 'Please speak to me from the waist up: my brain, my eyes.'
