Everyone wants to demagogue everyone else. That may be good politics, but it's awful policy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's really important that policy be properly designed. It's not enough just to.. .get angry over a subject.
I'm not a policy wonk, and I don't dream of being a political operative.
I can't stand the idea of being demagogued: that is, put down by a president who has never created any jobs and who doesn't even understand how the economy works.
Good policy makes good politics and what I've done has been good politics.
Politics doesn't matter, policy does.
Exploiting people's emotions of fear, envy and anxiety is not hope, it's not change, it's partisanship. We don't need partisanship. We don't need demagoguery, we need solutions.
Everyone thinks politics will just go on the way it is. I don't agree.
Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it.
I don't want foreign policy developed just by one party and ride roughshod over the other party.
You never discount a demagogue.
