I'm involved in issues, and issues are about grass-roots politics.

It's about going to where your voters are.

Mr. Trump has evolved to the point where he understands that a grass-roots strategy must be supplemented with paid advertising to be able to combat the negative ads that will run against him - and he is prepared or preparing to spend what it takes to make sure his message gets to the voters.

A campaign is about defining who you are - your vision and your opponent's vision.

In any grass-roots campaign, building an ongoing base of support is as important as winning the ultimate goal.

I think I know a lot about campaigns.

People are moping around and I think campaigns can be about lifting the spirits of the American people.

I do think there is something to be said for those who have significant experience at state level and have run campaigns or have been deeply involved in grass roots political campaigns and who have actual hands-on experience.

Politicians are trying to attract people to issues.

I have seen the times when the grassroots has moved the Congress. We listen way more often to our constituents than the lobbyists. And the grassroots are going to have to do it.
