David Brooks quotes about
party president democratic
Tim Kaine has been obviously a governor. He's been a senator. He's one of the smartest rising stars in the Democratic Party. He is very plausible as someone who could sit in and be president.
party
Parties that are majority parties are incoherent parties.
party hatred imagine
It's hard to imagine a party that is not corrupted by hatred.
advice anyone approval complaint party reviewed
Nothing in this complaint has been reviewed by anyone in the party for approval or advice.
party winning different
The party cannot be competitive nationally unless it's competitive in California, Oregon, Washington, New England, Pennsylvania, along the coasts. And the problem for the party is, you can't get there from here. You can't start out where the current Republicans are and win back those places. To me, what you have to do is create a different Republican Party that can win in those places.
patriotic republican debate
Donald Trump tried to set up this debate where it was going to be globalists vs. nationalists, and the Republicans were going to be the nationalists. But, if anything, the Democrats looked more patriotic and more nationalist at the end of these two.

The idea that a big country is going to go out and send troops into some country to take their resources, and then the rest of the world is going to somehow trust us is just a ridiculous notion.

Jim Stavridis is the former NATO commander who is sometimes on people's lists, also very plausible, self-possessed, someone with sobriety.

Plunder is morally wrong. It ruins your credibility.
giving
With the case of [Mike] Pence, giving a little aurora of likability to a candidate, a lead candidate who's a little lacking in that department.
language english-language
There is the English language and then there's the Trump language.
streets three
They're from a friend's house. Three streets away.
