Anarchism is a game at which the police can beat you.

Super PACs and a corrupt campaign finance system are destroying American democracy. We’re proud that we have received four million individual contributions, more than any candidate in American history at this point.

There is a reason why these people [from Wall Street] are putting huge amounts of money into our political system. And in my view, it is undermining American democracy and it is allowing Congress to represent wealthy campaign contributors and not the working families of this country.

The terror attacks have reshaped the campaign and may have given another boost to Donald Trump.

My logisticians are a humorless lot … they know if my campaign fails, they are the first ones I will slay.

When the president during the campaign said he was against nation building, I didn’t realize he meant our nation.

The constant drive for campaign dollars has distorted decision-making in Washington, DC, to the point where our systems can no longer effectively address complex, long-term problems like the climate crisis. Which brings me to my other major concern – the short-term focus of capitalism. It distorts the allocation of resources and the decision-making processes of companies.

Quite a few people have commented during the campaign that more help is required for small businesses. SMEs need support and encouragement in their early stages, and in Cambridge the links to the University and the huge pool of expertise here helps that.

I am proud of the campaign that we ran. Obviously, I wish we could have done a little bit better.

Awards are meaningless to me, and I have nothing but disdain for anyone who actively campaigns to get one.

There is a lightning quickness to the speed at which candidates can build and accidentally dismantle their own campaigns. If candidates don’t figure out their place in the new digital world of politics, they will be destroyed by it.

This rhetoric that Donald Trump is used is very consistent with rhetoric he’s used on the campaign trail for a long time now. He’ll always say – and you look – you can look at the past transcripts of his old speeches. He’ll always say, I’m in favor of trade; trade is great, but these deals – NAFTA, TPP, the South Korean Free Trade Agreement – are all terrible.

Being politicians, they all got to sharing their personal stories. Obama talked about his mother’s battle with cancer. Harry Reid talked about a kid with a cleft palate. And John McCain told how he once carried a brain dead woman through an entire campaign.

Something very significant appears to be happening in America. There is a dramatic shift in voter affinity toward the GOP, and it may prove to be the mountain-too-high for Barack Obama’s campaign.

My jobs on campaigns were pretty low on the totem pole – I was an advance man.

Gray Davis can run a dirty campaign better than anyone, but he can’t run a state.

The Muslim world is deeply hurt by the campaign of violence initiated against our Palestinian brothers.

If you looked at Jeb Bush’s campaign, it’s more than just money. It’s the nature of the candidate and the message and all that stuff.

Only the [Catholic] Church stood squarely across the path of Hitler’s campaign for suppressing truth. I never had any special interest in the Church before, but now I feel a great affection and admiration because the Church alone has had the courage and persistence to stand for intellectual truth and moral freedom. I am forced thus to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly.

The good news is I think there are a lot of young people certainly who were involved in my campaigns, and I think continue to be involved in work not just politically, but through nonprofits and other organizations, that can carry this hard work of democracy forward.

I think because I do model for brands but it’s never without input, ever. With AG I front their campaign, and obviously designed the collection for them. I did the same back in the day with Madewell. Even with Longchamp, there’s a certain amount of collaboration on deciding on photographers and stuff like that. It’s something that I’m accustomed to doing behind the scenes.

Conservatives claim [Hillary] Clinton campaign involved in satanic ‘spirit cooking’.

I want to know in this day and age, whether it is possible for any candidate who is not a billionaire or who is not beholden to the billionaire class, to be able to run successful campaigns.

I don’t think that the folks who are in the middle look at the conversation over whether or not Donald Trump’s campaign is racist or whether or not Hillary Clinton should use that term to describe some of his supporters made sense, I don’t think that the folks in the middle are looking at that debate.

What Women’s Lib might achieve if their ‘consciousness raising’ – or in plain English, brainwashing- campaign succeeds is a society whose members have identical roles but are perpetually at war with themselves; a society of males made neurotic by suppressed masculinity, of females made miserable by having masculine roles thrust upon them that contradict their feminine impulses.

What this [presidency] campaign is about this bringing millions of people jobs in this country.

Most of the men and women who vote in Congress each year to continue subsidies have taken campaign donations from big energy companies.

Nobody wants campaign finance reform more than me. It would save me a fortune.

I’m going to get a pair of wire-snips, and I’ve also started a new campaign to have blank CDs on jukeboxes so you can play the silence.

Anyone who has raised more than one child knows full well that kids turn out the way they turn out – astonishingly, for the most part, and usually quite unlike their siblings, even their twins, raised under the same flawed rooftree. Little we have done or said, or left undone and unsaid, seems to have made much mark. It’s hubris to suppose ourselves so influential; a casual remark on the playground is as likely to change their lives as any dedicated campaign of ours. They come with much of their own software already in place, waiting, and none of the keys we press will override it.

As a Mark brand ambassador, I became extremely cognizant of the devastating statistics about dating abuse and partner violence via the mPowerment campaign and knew I wanted to help change those statistics. mPowerment by Mark and the Avon Foundation for Women funded the No More study, which explored dating abuse, partner violence, and sexual assault. I was honored to be part of it and report the results of the survey in a Capitol Hill briefing.

I want Trump to send out a tweet saying that he’s going to keep his campaign promises. He’s not going to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

I don’t know if you heard the news, but Wall Street now is a farmer’s market. I don’t want to say things are going downhill quickly, but Obama’s new campaign slogan is ‘Are you better off than you were four days ago?’

I have given money to the Obama campaign online and now they bombard me with emails every day. Why did I do that online? Why didn’t I just walk into an office?

For me as leader my time is nearly over but for Scotland the campaign continues and the dream will never die.
