“Certainly by historic standards, this is really an incredible night for the Democrats. There has not been a majority party in the White House and in the Congress that has done so well in the midterms. Even if the Democrats lose the House, and they appear to be on track to do that, [Republican] Speaker Kevin McCarthy's majority would be very narrow - and that would be a win for the Democrats.”

“It [the Supreme Court's ruling in June that ended the constitutional right to abortion] was one of the most important motivating issues to get Democrats out to the polls. I think also the worry from many Americans about the threats to democracy - that issue was not looked at enough by prognosticators.”

“It's fairly clear that Xi Jinping views his most important legacy as making China a superpower, as returning China to what he sees as its historically rightful place as a world power. And that means economic growth, but it also means becoming a military power that's able to exert a large influence on politics in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. For the US, focusing on competition with China is one of the few things that unites Republicans and Democrats. There's definitely a desire to preserve America's superpower status and its influence in the world order, which does mean that these two countries do have conflicting objectives to a certain extent. So, there is certainly potential for tensions at the very least.”

“For decades, Democrats and Republican administrations alike believed the market would manage supply. We live in the wreckage of that worldview. But it held for so long that the U.S. government has lost both the muscle and the confidence needed to manage supply, at least when it comes to anything other than military spending. So Biden's task now is clear: to build a government that can create supply, not just demand.”

“It's very, very hard for people who grew up in the United States not to treat our elections as normal politics - as donkey against the elephant; red against blue; Democrats against Republicans; who's got the better message and blah blah blah blah. We're not in that world. We're in a world where one party is an authoritarian force and needs to be stopped.”

“There are actually no more democrats. Those who joined the election but said they are not pro-establishment are quite far from what 'democrats' were. Supporting universal suffrage for both [the legislature and the chief executive] must be my line. This is what I must say. There are so many red lines, you don't even know how to talk anymore. I think we should simply be like normal people and speak the truth in human language.”

“Democrats will most likely lose the midterms without an unprecedented event, because that is what happens to most governing parties almost every time. Since the second world war, the president's party has gained seats in the midterms only during the Clinton impeachment and after 9/11. They can't tinker with policy to jujitsu out of what's coming. The moderates decimating the Democratic agenda are goners either way. The best way forward is to pass good, lasting policy that improves people's lives and will build long-term support for the party and its objectives.”

“The race [between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin] is a statistical dead-heat and that was not expected. Youngkin has been a stronger candidate than many had predicted. The Democratic brand is suffering right now, under the weight of Biden's declining popularity, what happened in Afghanistan, and the perception that Democrats in Washington can't get things done right now. This will send shockwaves through the Democratic Party if they lose Virginia, because Republicans will take this to mean that, if they can win in a blue trending state, they can win in a lot of other places they've been told they can't win in 2022.”

“There are a lot of factors that suggest the Democrats are going to have a really hard time holding the House majority and the Senate's 50-50, and so they lose one net seat and the Senate majority is gone. With Biden's majorities in the House and Senate in peril, you'd feel better about Democrats' chances if his approval rating was more like it was two months ago than it is now.”

“When I came to office, I inherited a deal cut by my predecessor-which he invited the Taliban to discuss at Camp David on the eve of 9/11 of 2019-that left the Taliban in the strongest position militarily since 2001 and imposed a May 1, 2021 deadline on U.S. Forces. Shortly before he left office, he also drew U.S. Forces down to a bare minimum of 2,500. Therefore, when I became President, I faced a choice-follow through on the deal, with a brief extension to get our Forces and our allies' Forces out safely, or ramp up our presence and send more American troops to fight once again in another country's civil conflict. I was the fourth President to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan-two Republicans, two Democrats. I would not, and will not, pass this war onto a fifth.”

“The Biden administration's policies have been horrific and despicable, and make the United States 100 percent complicit in Israel's massacres and atrocities against Palestinians. [Biden administration backing the ceasefire] It wasn't that they suddenly developed some type of moral backbone but rather that it responded to political pressure on the US streets and from progressive Democrats. All of this political pressure is what has been effective in moving the Biden administration toward a better position, but that type of pressure needs to be kept up now so that there is accountability after the ceasefire.”

“Last week, we saw President Biden, so-called social and community leaders and corporations alike cave to lies about Georgia's new election law. Lies being spread by radical Democrats and the woke left mob. Biden supports moving the MLB game out of Georgia, yet refuses to call on the International Olympic Committee to move the Olympics out of Communist China – which is committing a genocide against the Uyghurs. Biden and the Democrats need to be called out for their hypocrisy and face some pretty basic facts: Election security is not racist. Genocide is wrong. General Secretary Xi's atrocious acts can't be ignored and Communist China can't be allowed to whitewash its crimes on an international stage. President Biden has immense power to help facilitate the relocation of the games, which I have urged him to do. If Biden truly stands for human rights, he will immediately begin this process by offering to host the games in the United States and providing the necessary federal resources to get this done. The American spirit is undefeated and there is no limit to what this great nation can accomplish when united under a common cause. It is now time for President Biden to lead America and the world and make clear that the United States will never tolerate the oppression and genocide occurring in Communist China.”

“Trump and Biden have more in common than meets the eye. There has been a sea change in sentiment in the US among both Republicans and Democrats. Whoever wins the election, one thing is clear: the US has turned a corner in its relations with China and looks set to maintain a hard line on many aspects, including trade. They may differ in other areas, but when it comes to China, Donald Trump and Joe Biden are more or less on the same page.”

Get rid of the ballots and you'll have a very peaceful — there won't be a transfer, frankly, there'll be a continuation. The ballots are out of control. You know it. And you know who knows it better than anybody else? The Democrats know it better than anybody else.”
