Bill Burton Quotations

What we're passionate about, along with Jennifer, is design from the essential elements. The raw character of the material is in full view, in its natural form, not covered by anything else.

We're raising more money than we've ever done before and we're recruiting more candidates.

Leadership in Congress isn't just about the personalities; it's about policies and priorities.

New Jersey families sent Congressman Scott Garrett to Washington to represent their values and compassion in Congress. Today, he has shown that he represents neither. Americans from every community in the country have selflessly donated millions of dollars to help those who so desperately need food, water and medical attention. When Congress had its chance to support the effort, Congressman Garrett opposed it.

I wouldn't say we're recruiting them. ... Most have taken it upon themselves to run.

I think she is going to have a tough challenge for sure.

[Voters] are trying to make up their mind on who has a better plan for the economy, whose presidency would more positively impact my life?

I think that Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, all those states actually look pretty good for Hillary Clinton.

While Donald Trump is showing some strength in places like Iowa, it's just not enough to get him close to getting the electoral votes that he needs to win.

Monica Langley has a great piece in The Wall Street Journal about how they're trying to create different kinds of moments for Donald Trump, as opposed to just him shouting at rallies. They're trying to get him in classrooms, and in churches, and in diners and places where he can make a more personal connection.

Donald Trump in a church getting interrupted by the pastor because he started attacking Hillary Clinton.

I think that if he [Donald Trump] does really want to make gains, if he does want to find a path to those voters who are in the middle, then he needs to do different things than just do these rallies.

[Donald Trump] is still pretty limited in the effect that he can have because he so disqualified himself with such a large number of voters that I don't think that there is an actual a path to victory for him. But he is at least doing a better - engaging in a better strategy than he had previously.

Something that is interesting about the current polling is that, as you watch Hillary's [Clinton] numbers fluctuate, part of the reason that they are is because the Obama coalition, younger voters, African-American voters, Latino voters, they're not showing up in as large a number for her as they did for President [Barack] Obama.

I actually think that her [Hillary Clinton] numbers are artificially low.

I think that, at the end of the day, those voters [Barack Obama voters] are going to join ranks, and it is going to help propel Hillary Clinton to victory.

I don't think that the folks who are in the middle look at the conversation over whether or not Donald Trump's campaign is racist or whether or not Hillary Clinton should use that term to describe some of his supporters made sense, I don't think that the folks in the middle are looking at that debate.

I think they're more looking at these two candidates. It's a band of voters with which neither candidate has very high approval ratings.

You look at the states [Barack] Obama won and wonder, well, where would Hillary Clinton have a problem and where does Donald Trump have problems? And the truth is, Donald Trump is not showing strength in any of the big states that he would need in order to actually get to 270. And Hillary Clinton is showing herself to be remarkably stable in all the states that she needs.

There is a lightning quickness to the speed at which candidates can build and accidentally dismantle their own campaigns. If candidates don't figure out their place in the new digital world of politics, they will be destroyed by it.

We liked that look, but when the steel plates came to the house, they were hot-rolled steel, so they have a sort of blue quality. We love the blue, so now we're going about the process of finding ways to protect and keep the color the way it is.

Unfortunately for Speaker Hastert and his special-interest cronies, ... one photo-op press conference isn't going to change the fact that he has been pushing the very legislation that has led to record profits for the oil industry every chance he gets.

This is a much larger field than it's been in the past. We have folks in that group who aren't necessarily with the national party on every single issue but do reflect the makeup of the congressional district.

They're trying to pack the house and do some sort of made-for-TV show of strength. But the bottom line is that you're spending all that money to speak to a room full of people who have already made up their minds. You can spend a lot of money for bells and whistles and dog and pony shows. But that doesn't build your organization, and caucuses are about organization, not bells and whistles.

Americans from every community in the country have selflessly donated millions of dollars to help those who so desperately need food, water and medical attention. When Congress had its chance to support the effort, Congressman Flake opposed it.

Everybody's private space would take a hit. We would increase the public spaces, which is where we really live.

In the past year, we've seen a noticeable increase in the amount of rail-served requirements.

If you talk to any member of Congress, they will tell you that when they go home, this is what they hear about.
