Dukakis ran without understanding that there was a Democratic Party out in the land, and he never did call on it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The last time I was in a gym, Dukakis was running for president.
I didn't realize that running as an independent would be perceived as a threat to the Democrats.
Nobody ever won an election by spitting at his political opponents.
This is just not the Democratic Party we used to know.
I never ever paid attention to any election.
The politician who never made a mistake never made a decision.
Well, just that there would be somebody in the office and the voters - it was more or less an understanding in the entire community, as long as that person was doing a good job on the merits, nobody was going to run against him.
I was not a Democrat; I was an independent. Here's the thing: You can't win that way. But I didn't know that.
I have never run campaigns based on an ethnic coalition.
My father never ran for office or supported anybody for office, and was not engaged in that at all.
