Politics Quotes
Voices on ideology, debate, and public life.
These politics quotes range from a personal statement linking radical belief to the character of one's work, to an observation that casual conversation about politics rarely gets taken too seriously. Together they capture politics as something people engage with unevenly, with real distance between everyday talk and lasting conviction.

I think personality correction is necessary for successful men, like prime ministers, businessmen, politicians... it's essential that one should keep an eye on one's own personality.

If the economy is still going forward, even at 40 miles an hour, 50 miles an hour, I think most people will stick with President Obama. I think people look at politics like they hire a plumber. I hire you to fix the bad pipe. If you fix it, I'll rehire you. If you don't fix it, I'm not going to rehire you.

There is a no-man's land in our politics: on the one hand, bounded by what we know to be true, and on the other hand, bounded by what the media says is politically correct. And that's where Donald Trump lives. And it's our failure to admit what we all know to be true in the guise of political correctness that fuels the Trump candidacy.
