I think it will help him. I think they've become household names after this.

I can't wait for November 9th when we can start rebuilding this party, and I want to lead that.

I mean, his circle is pretty small.

Donald Trump is getting 14 percent in the 'Wall Street Journal' poll this morning, 14 percent Hispanic vote. That's half of what Mitt Romney got.

He needs to consolidate the base if he has a chance.

I think, as I said earlier, one of the missions for Donald Trump is to try and unify the Republican base and these speeches are helpful in that regard.

I think it gives a lot of people who aren't on the list pause the people who took themselves out of the hunt earlier.

I think it is important in his case. I generally agree that vice presidential candidates rarely win elections for you. They can sometimes help you lose elections.

President Obama has himself talked about how he sometimes doesn't recognize the optics of these situations.

This is an ongoing struggle and sadly, I think it's going to continue.

I think first of all, ascertaining what the source of this was. It appears to be ISIS.

That is a big test. And, you know, we have yet to see whether he can meet it.

This was an all out assault on Donald Trump's preparedness and on his temperament.

I think she used Donald Trump's own quotations to hang him on the issue of temperament and lack of experience.

I would be certainly she should be at least a little concerned about some of these early polls not just in New Jersey but some other states.

I said a long time ago that presidential campaigns are MRI's for the soul, and, you know, the pressure gets retch it up, the higher you go and he's now feeling some of that.

I think that he has been very resistant to these attacks during the primaries and Anderson at the end of the day I don't even think the substance of the attacks are what ultimately are going to be problematic for Trump, it's the way he…

I've said from the beginning that if Donald Trump gets close, they would have a very difficult decision to make.

I think it's very hard for him. It's quite different than 2008 when Barack Obama was a minority candidate.

We're really entering a critical period here. There's a thousand delegates at stake in the next 10 days, 300 in the next four days.

Every reaction, every action in politics creates a reaction. I do think Donald Trump is going to encourage people to come to the polls in the fall as he has in the primary if he's the nominee.

This was a situation where he got asked a question and you can see him trying to make the calculation as to how to answer those questions.

One of the winners, if that's the case and you have a cluster and you more people moving on and the circus moves on to South Carolina, it is Donald Trump.

I think that it was bad. And I think it was bad for two reasons.

His polls were about shown wrote a piece in 'The Wall Street Journal' last week saying, 'No, you know what, if it's Clinton, Trump or Cruz that he might get into the race.'
