I’ve spent my whole life fighting for leftwing causes, so I can tell you, no one is more surprised than me to be standing as candidate for Nigel Farage’s Brexit party.
I am a registered Democrat and two-time unsuccessful candidate for office.
But our writer, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala – it was very much in her mind. After we had done ‘A Room With a View’ and ‘Maurice,’ she urged us to think about ‘Howards End’ as another candidate for adaptation.
We made mistakes in 2018, as a candidate and as a campaign. I had not campaigned in 25 years, and people forgot me, they forgot my contributions as a congressman, they forgot my contributions as a cabinet secretary.
The problem with the Democratic Party is, we’re like, ‘If we just get another presidential candidate in there, everything will be OK.’ We should be focusing on school boards, city council races, state legislatures.
I could have possibly beaten Senator McCain in the primary. Then I could have been the candidate who lost to Barack Obama.
More than any other candidate, Mr. Trump embodies the evolving norms of communication that are being enabled and encouraged by technology and the matrix of connectivity that defines modern life: authenticity over authority, surprise over consistency, celebrity over experience.
Gov. Huckabee seems like somebody who could run effectively against a female candidate and not make it seem like he’s being derogatory and impolite.
I was a candidate in Loughborough in the 2005 election. I had a good result against the sitting Labour MP but not enough to unseat him.
Was Sen. Barack Obama a Muslim? Did he ever practice Islam? The presidential candidate officially rejects the claims, but the issue of Obama’s personal faith has re-emerged amid conflicting accounts of his enrollment as a Muslim during elementary school in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation.
Some will say, ‘I wish I had a different choice. I wish there was a different candidate!’ Listen: you have two choices. You have Donald and you have Hillary. And you have no other choice.
I like reading, I like boring things, and yet I think people for ages had this image of me that I was on the tube with a chainsaw looking for any likely candidate.
Obama really changed the way in which design can be used effectively for a candidate.
I’m really the candidate who has really lived his whole life in suburbia.
A good engineering interview will include some set of difficult problems to solve. It might even require that the candidate write a short program. In addition, it will test the candidate’s knowledge of the tools she uses in great depth.
Rubio is clearly an open-borders Republican. He is the Chamber of Commerce candidate, the ‘more is better’ candidate, and the amnesty candidate.
We saw Jesse Jackson the victim of a smear campaign. People remember the Dean scream that was used against Howard Dean as a peace candidate who was doing well. So, in many ways, the Democratic Party creates campaigns that fake Left while it moves Right and becomes more corporatist, more militarist, more imperialist.
I am the ‘change Britain’ candidate. We can only change Britain through a united Labour Party and I am the unity candidate. I have got support from the Left and the Right of the party.
The truth is that anyone, almost anyone, who receives the Nobel Prize has some indirect knowledge of one sort or another that they may be a candidate.
It’s all too easy to forget that cultural fit is a two-way street. Yes, the candidate needs to gel well with your company’s vibe and mission. But, you also need to fit in with her desires, goals, and long-term career vision. It’s not a one-sided relationship.
Hillary doesn’t play. She has more experience and exposure to the presidency than any candidate in our lifetime – yes, more than Barack, more than Bill. So she is absolutely ready to be Commander-in-Chief on day one. And, yes, she happens to be a woman.
But feminism isn’t served by simply promoting women over men. The winner needs to be the best candidate for the job, not the best candidate of a certain gender.
I may not be the favourite candidate of some people within the Republican establishment, but the voters made a decision.
It’s hard to do, but a disciplined candidate who really has thoughtful solutions and a plan to execute on them, I think, is ultimately the kind of person that’s going to resonate.
Conservatives will fight hard to preserve the institutions of mass incarceration and police brutality. Because they don’t see themselves as victims of these things, but as benefactors, they will fight hard to preserve the status quo against a reform candidate.
Donald Trump may be the loudest voice in the Republican presidential field, but on his heels is the candidate quietly surging to the front of the pack: Ben Carson.
Experience in other countries shows how big money, rather than the best political candidate, can influence politics.
What sort of job can you hold in America in which it is safe to hold the personal conviction that same-sex marriage is wrong? The answer: there is no such job. Except Democratic presidential candidate in 2008. Then you’re fine.
Put a lawn sign on your lawn; go door to door for your candidate. Register people to vote. There’s so much we can do through our voices and time. That’s what flips elections.
I think it’s one of the challenges of modern politics, which is, how do you communicate who the candidate is, and what they really believe, in the short time period you have? And for me, the best opportunity was the debates, and I think I was in real trouble before the debates, and I think the debates helped me a lot.
In the early days of the republic, the secretary of state was the heir apparent to the president. Presidents could easily hand-pick their party’s next candidate. The party caucuses formally selected the candidates, but presidents guided the process.
While I can’t promise you that I’m going to be a perfect candidate and I can’t promise you that I’m not going to make mistakes, I can unequivocally promise you that no one, no one, will work harder on your behalf, no one will fight harder with you and no one will make you more proud.
At USC, if you’re running back there, and you do gain you over 1,500 yards, people see you as a candidate, but not one of the top ones.
Do not listen to the rhetoric from campaigns, but rather, hold everyone of us accountable, hold me accountable and every other candidate accountable to be a consistent conservative.
You can’t just trot out a brown face or a Spanish surname and expect people are going to vote for your party or your candidate.
I don’t see a bright future for Turkey. It pains me. But I have some hope, I pray for it to be better. It is a blessed country, a NATO member, and was an E.U. candidate. These were things we wanted.
A 527 doesn’t have a wife. It doesn’t have a brother-in-law who knows a lot about politics, or a union president who calls and doesn’t like the color of the suit, or bimbo eruptions. It’s the perfect candidate, because it has no personal characteristics.
The voters who chose to cast their vote for another candidate, I want them to know that I respect their choice. I will be president for every Haitian.
Americans want to be represented by the best candidate, not the one with the richest friends.
Preach or proselytize for Christianity in much of the Islamic world, and you are a candidate for martyrdom. Practice freedom of speech in Xi Jinping’s China, and you can wind up in a cell.
It’s hard to be a son of a candidate. It’s hard to be a brother of a candidate. I think it may be the hardest thing to be the dad of the candidate.
Having an election with only one candidate running is impossible. This is not a democracy.
I believe in the value of life. I have fought for that value. I am the only candidate to carry a right to life bill, protecting unborn victims and ensuring that all life should be protected.
Remember, it is not about voting for the perfect candidate – there is no such thing. Presidents are human.
There are a number of candidate vaccines that are in development for HIV/AIDS.
I see it all the time in politics. If a candidate gets caught in a lie, he quickly tries to change the subject by throwing more mud at his opponent. The mud keeps flying until some of the slanderous material sticks.
Al is, and always has been, the person who has been the candidate – the elected official. And he is the one who makes policy. As his wife, I have the wonderful opportunity to advocate for causes that I am passionate about, and I’m thankful for that.
I’ve always believed that what’s best for our kids is what’s best for our state. That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to public service, working as an educator, a school administrator, a state superintendent, and now as a candidate for governor.
If you want a president to stop amnesty, to secure the borders and keep us safe, then support a candidate who has led the fight to stop amnesty to secure the borders and to keep us safe.
The McCain-Feingold limit on how much you give a candidate didn’t really work because people found ways to get around it.
I don’t think you can be a credible, modern candidate for president without making the environment a major part of your platform.
Without bureaus, committees, officials or emissaries to manufacture sentiment in his favor, without intrigue or effort on his part, Grant is the candidate whose supporters have never threatened to bolt.
