Which way are we going?
I don’t think he has the temperament and leadership ability to move the country in the right direction.”
“What is your place in history?”
“We want to turn the page .It’s like learning Latin — you have to throw out everything and start over"
“If you will lift that boom a second.This is the problem with not having a bus”
“Let me say I’ve heard that story and there’s not a lot of truth to it”
"If I discover there is such an agreement, it’ll be gone in a bird-dog minute.”

“It took a lot of energy and creativity to get to this point”

“He’s a friend,” . “I wish him the very best and I wish the team the very best.”
Later, while talking to reporters on his campaign plane—the second day in a row he has ventured back to chat with reporters, after not doing it for weeks– explained he had e-mailed wishing him luck in today’s Super Bowl against the New York Giants, and that he had been kind enough to ping him back.“Things have been getting real ugly around here”
“He’s not endorsing anybody. For all I know, he’s a fan of somebody else.”
...it was too hard to call, mentioning what a “close race” the teams had the last time they played, before correcting himself to say, “a close game.”
“It’s just remarkable to be able to see the entire field the way he does”
It’s really funny. It’s like, the halftime commentators–I don’t know how often you watch the ESPN halftime show–they’re going back and forth.

Hillary's Stew a la White House Meuniere

Note:
Meuniere refers to both a sauce and a method of preparation. The word itself means "miller's wife" and that etymology provides insight into both culinary uses. The miller's wife of course had easy access to flour, and so to cook something á la meuniere was to cook it by first dredging it in flour. But the mill was also located on a stream and thus often had very fresh fish available. Many of the elaborate sauces and preparations that were developed in the 18th and 19th centuries had an underlying purpose of masking food that had begun to spoil during the several days needed for transport from fishing ports. By contrast the fish prepared by the miller's wife did not need to be masked under a heavy sauce. A meuniere sauce is very simple--browned butter, chopped parsley, and lemon.from wikipedia

We’re obviously concerned.”“I’m going there a lot for money,” he said. “I ought to go there for votes.”That’s what we tell ourselves.He needs people to look at him and see John Kennedy, or The Beatles, or Tiger Woods in his first Master’s tournament. He needs people to see youth, a break with the past, style under pressure.But recent experience shows that campaigning with color is fraught with peril.When they see black this or black that — even a positive black first — it’s trouble. “That’s not what I’m talking about.”“Neither race nor gender should be a part of this campaign.”How about getting some endangered species as candidates?Blah, blah, blah.Just like that, all the old unmentionables came out of the shadows.“I have a great story about how my family came to America, as good as Gary’s,” as Rice said. “We just happened to have different travel agents.”Whatever the reason, there is a gap, and it’s real.
