I am not now, nor will I ever be, a candidate for offensive coordinator of Iowa.
Millions of people die every day. Everyone’s got to go sometime. I’ve came by this particular tumor honestly. If you smoke, which I did for many years very heavily with occasional interruption, and if you use alcohol, you make yourself a candidate for it in your sixties.
It’s sobering to realize that there’s a huge chunk of the U.S. voting population that doesn’t think of sexual assault as something horrendous enough to disqualify a presidential candidate.
I’m honored to receive the support of former Republican candidate for governor, William Woods.
Virtually any pointed edifice is considered a candidate for alien engineering. After all, how could the Egyptians or Mayans have possibly stacked up stone blocks into pyramids?
It is often constructive to meet with a candidate for a particular office, but I believe what is most important is the candidate’s track record.
You know, I think Marco Rubio would be a spectacular candidate for vice president. I think he would energize the country. I think he has a great story. He’s bright. He’s articulate.
Instead of candidates hiring people, like yours truly, to create campaign media that works on both conscious and subconscious levels to sway the voting public, what if all TV ads were, by law, only allowed to feature the candidate, with, say, the American flag as the backdrop, alone, speaking directly to the camera?
I didn’t tell anybody anywhere on planet Earth that I support Donald Trump as a candidate.
I believe Donald Trump is a good man. He did everything wrong as a candidate, and he won, and I don’t understand it. Other than I think God put him there.
I think it becomes incumbent upon a candidate to essentially disavow some of the things that are in that party platform. Otherwise, I think the assumption is that you are a true believer.
Whether anyone has ever changed their mind as a result of a celebrity endorsement of a candidate is a bit of a mystery.
I don’t view our approach as negative. I view our approach that when you have a candidate in a Republican primary make statements that would make his position to the left of Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama on immigration… we need to bring that out to the people.
We need candidate schools to recruit more young African-Americans to run for office and more diverse law enforcement communities.
What is important is the victory of the people, not of a candidate. We must unite for the good of Madagascar’s people, and we are going to succeed.
No candidate can become president without the Latino vote.
I have this to say to the people: go the polls and vote for the candidate of your choice… This is your responsibility; do not neglect it.
Unai Emery’s philosophy is to play good football and his experience with Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain makes him a great candidate for the Arsenal job.
I kept working during my campaign because I needed to feed my family. As a single mom of three kids, I have a lot of child care that I needed to juggle, and I was a first-time candidate.
I think that seeing as much support as somebody like Obama as a black candidate running for president in a country that historically has had issues with the African-American people, and them having issues vice-versa, is a miraculous thing.
Every election, a presidential candidate inevitably proposes a new cabinet agency. The idea is that this is the only way to solve a particular problem. Just create more government.
There’s an enormous difference between voting for a candidate because you hate another ethnic group and voting for a candidate because he’s a member of your ethnic group.
We read primary results to assure ourselves that this candidate has won this state’s primary and can win the state in the general election. I think that’s a very dubious jump to make.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that ‘The War Room’ and ‘A Perfect Candidate’ are films that have been consistently shown and available for rental for 20 years. These are films that are more about the moment in which they were filmed: they also have a great deal to say about larger issues about who we are as a country.
Trump is not going to win the presidency because he himself is a weak, weak candidate.
I want to lead the Progressive Conservative Party, a party that will promote true conservative values and principles. I can tell you right now, I am not the merger candidate. I am not interested in institutional marriages with other parties.
It’s hard to translate excitement for one candidate to another.
It’s one thing if a politician in a small country says a little bit of torturing is good to do. There is a qualitative difference… when it’s a candidate to run a superpower.
Journalists undoubtedly have a duty to push, cajole, and aggressively maneuver around campaign handlers in order for the public to see a candidate unscripted.
Candidate Obama promised to fundamentally transform America and that’s one promise he has kept. Turning a shining city on a hill into a sinking ship.
I want to be part of real reality shows, but don’t want to do shows where I am told to give more points to one candidate because he/she is from a particular state. We have to judge by merit.
One question predominates among Democratic voters assessing which candidate to nominate as the Democratic standard-bearer for 2020: ‘Can they beat Donald Trump?’
I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party’s candidate for President, who happens also to be a Catholic.
On the campaign trail, candidate Trump occasionally raised the idea of creating ‘safe zones’ for Syrian civilians.
I’m a great candidate for why arts funding shouldn’t be cut, because I had no experience other than what was at school, I’m from a working-class town, there were no theaters, and the cinema closed when I was a kid. Anything that gave me a voice or a way to express myself I went running headlong toward.
When candidate Donald Trump said things that I didn’t necessarily agree with, I would call him on it.
A lot of people are driven by an interest by one particular issue or a small number of specific issues rather than a candidate or a party or something broader.
It is not just software glitches and corrupted memory cards that should be on the minds of election officials. Hackers pose another very real problem whereby an election could be tilted towards a favored candidate.
Elections are a competition with only one winner. Giving more money to the opponent every time one speaks on behalf of a favored candidate discourages the speech that triggers the matching funds.
I will not vote for a candidate who thinks you can ‘pray away the gay;’ I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that he has more rights to my uterus than I do; I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that it’s okay to dump toxic waste in the ocean.
I consider myself a significant supporter of any candidate I work for, and I am certainly generous, I think, with my own funds.
I’m not a Blairite candidate, I’m my own candidate.
I’m the only candidate running for governor that opposes Obamacare expansion in Mississippi.
It is one thing to talk about fundraising and another to do it as a candidate, and I have learned so much about how much money it costs to run a campaign and what it means to raise money.
If you don’t ask for money, people don’t think you are a serious candidate.
The vice presidential candidate does not usually make much difference at the polls. But that may be changing as voters become more aware that the understudy must be ready to take over if needed.
Donald Trump is already losing badly to Hillary Clinton. He is a weak candidate, and he’s performing that way.
There are a lot of people whose livelihoods depend on keeping lots of conservatives terrified and ill-informed. The groups that exist to raise funds raise more funds when they endorse the crazier candidate.
I’d like to find and vote for a candidate, whether Republican or Democrat… that has the best interest in the health and welfare of everybody in this country.
In the television age, the key distinction is between the candidate who can speak poetry and the one who can only speak prose.
That’s what’s really bothering me about Trump is the hypocrisy, because when Trump was a candidate, and he got elected – because, by and large, he told the truth about the phony nature of the recovery.
As I am a film personality, I feel it would be best to be an independent candidate. Thus if I decide to contest it won’t be under the symbol of any political party.
You can have all the money in the world, but if you’re not a good candidate, it doesn’t matter.
It would astonish if not amuse the older citizens to learn that I (a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working at ten dollars per month) have been put down as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.
People are starting to wake up to the fact that a media/political party-complex basically decide our candidate, then create the illusion for the rest of us that in fact we’re the ones who did the deciding.
It obviously matters who gets to be president. And it’s perfectly valid for us media types to advocate for the candidate we think is more qualified, based on our reporting. But the hype has gotten so out of control, it’s become bigger than the presidency itself.
