Political Pundits

He's the only one who will have to influence, to convince the governor of Alabama and the Alabama Republican Party to do the right thing and remove Moore's name from nomination. And to me that's the only option.

If you told Donald Trump at the beginning of this year that Democrats were going to control the Senate seat in Alabama and your agenda would be imperiled for the remainder of the first half of your first term. Everybody would have said…

There's a scramble right now to see if he can be replaced. Ultimately, what I'm hearing is that all roads lead back to the White House. Only Donald Trump, the president, has the influence enough with the governor of Alabama and the Alabama…

The Washington Post is being used now as the excuse to not believe it.

Tribalism can't prevail, but if you want a Republican Majority enacting the President's agenda, you have to have candidates that can win.

If I were Donald Trump, I'd be looking at it through this lens. Is fighting it out over this candidacy worth sacrificing my agenda?

I agree with Mitch McConnell. I agree with Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel of the RNC that he should step aside if allegations have even a shred of truth to them.

Especially though when you have someone like Tom Perriello, who was a progressive, who lost in that primary and then came out and worked just as hard to elect his rival.

It's a grind. I mean, the staff that works there -- look, Flynn worked in the White House. So he may have interacted with the staffs that are still there. They're probably getting interviewed.

What we do know is that the dominos are falling. That's what we know. And the one thing I think is still the most damning piece of evidence against Donald Trump is what Donald Trump has not said. He has never said one bad thing about…

What we showed was this party is maturing now under the weight of this Trump presidency.

What you would have to have for this Congress to do what you want is for you to actually have a conservative Republican Party.

Well, I don't think they should seriously entertain firing Bob Mueller or taking any action that would stop this investigation because it is clear the Russians tried to meddle in the election.

I don't want you to be safe, ideologically. I don't want you to be safe, emotionally. I want you to be strong.

Humility is a better look than anger and since Bill O'Reilly invoked the good Lord, maybe we should consult the good book which tells us, 'Be not quick in your spirit to become angry because anger lodges in the bosom of fools.'

I think that for most sort of grassroots conservatives right now it's not about public policy, passing bills or legislation, it's about a culture war.

It's in both of their best interests to continue to work together.

This feud between these two guys is extraordinarily concerning.

I think President Bush was talking about angry, divisive people in both parties, OK? I think that we're all one -- like you said, I think we want to apply this to Trump because he's the president.

Can you imagine if Barack Obama had said that he was going to start snatching licenses? I mean this would have been declared a constitutional crisis at the minute the tweet hit the internet.

This is the kind of stuff that will happen in Latin American countries, African countries. The United States would be rushing to the microphone saying it is not acceptable.

At the end of the day as a Republican Party, what's the purpose of a party if not to pass some agenda that you ran on?

I want Donald Trump to pass his agenda because it's the agenda that not only he ran on but virtually the entire Republican Party ran on and failure to pass repealing health care and now tax reform, people don't understand the political…

I don't support the breakdown of the relationships that he needs to pass an agenda
