And this is a golden opportunity the likes of which nobody expected and we haven\u2019t seen in a while, and it was a mandate election. Trump has a mandate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I went to George H. W. Bush\u2019s 80th birthday in Houston. That\u2019s where I met Mikhail Gorbachev. You ought to see the pictures from that night, by the way. Gorbachev\u2019s birthmark ended up on my forehead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Trump transition team is not imploding, folks. It is getting set to kick ass.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you think the media thinks they have to gain by continuing to treat Trump the way they did during the campaign?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Seventy percent think the country\u2019s headed in the wrong direction, and 70% think they cannot trust the mainstream media. The media continues to behave in ways that warrant that distrust, that earn it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BillPressShow\/\">Bill Press<\/a>&nbsp;(a failed talk show host and a failed Democrat National Committee honcho) was on TV somewhere (a failed TV network), and he said he hopes Trump does fail. And this is the problem with Bill: He\u2019s never been original. But he\u2019s out there saying he hopes Trump fails.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump Derangement Syndrome has already reached escape velocity, and the guy hasn\u2019t even been sworn in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The greater conniption the left has, the better the decision is, and that\u2019s what everybody needs to come to realize. The bigger conniption fit the media has or the left, the better the decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Hillary had won, the transition would have been the greatest of all time and Chelsea would be portrayed as brilliant, no question about that. But she didn\u2019t win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can\u2019t think of anybody better to head over to the Department of Justice and drain that swamp than Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz could get that done in the first hundred days, the honeymoon period.&nbsp;I think that would be just terrific. Even though Harry Reid is leaving, they would have a conniption, which would be worth the price of admission.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Supreme Court Justicette Sonia Sotomayor, &#8216;the wise Latina,\u2019 says the country cannot afford for the president to fail.&nbsp; Why is it even on her mind?&nbsp; Me.&nbsp; That\u2019s why it\u2019s on her mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Trump transition team is not imploding. What\u2019s imploding is the media. What\u2019s imploding is Obamacare. What\u2019s imploding is the Democrat Party. What is imploding is Clinton Inc. That\u2019s what\u2019s imploding out there.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The media is a front group for Democrats like environmentalists are a front group for radical leftists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The reason Trump won is because he\u2019s fighting what is constantly destructive.&nbsp;Donald Trump is fighting and taking on people who are constantly and purposely destructive.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The amount of electoral power the Democrats have lost, particularly at the state and local level is astounding. They only control both legislature and governors in five states. They are in a world of hurt, particularly at the state level, and that means at the local level, and that means at the grassroots level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the anti-Trump people, the left-wing Democrats &#8212; the evidence is all over the country &#8212; are deranged. They are unhinged. They are insanely angry here and unhinged and unsettled.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can\u2019t think of anybody better to head over to the Department of Justice and drain that swamp than&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tedcruzpage\/\">Ted Cruz<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a seminal moment, this overwhelming defeat.&nbsp; Even to me, and I have studied it each and every day, the depths to which the Democrat Party has sunk surprises and shocks even me.&#8221; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrat Party coalition has now been outnumbered. The Democrats threw away their allegiance to white working-class voters. They basically discarded everybody who\u2019s white that doesn\u2019t have a college education. Well, that is a huge number of people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can you imagine if Larry Arnn ended up as education secretary? You put him in there at education and Cruz or Jeff Sessions as attorney general? The names I have seen floated are more solid and better in terms of conservatism than your average Republican nominee would put together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I want you to understand that you\u2019re in the majority and you\u2019re winning, and you never were in the minority.
