Not every man can wear jeans.
I am a Reagan Republican.
The very best khakis are made by Bills Khakis.
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 general election is not an organizational exercise – it’s a mass media exercise.

Obviously a candidate has to be held responsible for the words that come out of his mouth, regardless of where they came from.

In 2000, Trump could have won the Reform Party nomination. I chaired his presidential exploratory committee.

Those who are outraged will vote.
The Establishment on both the Left and the Right, who want to disenfranchise the millions of Republican voters who support Donald Trump, have blamed the staged riots near Trump rallies on Trump or on Bernie Sanders. That’s like blaming the Russians for the Reichstag Fire.
Nothing ruins the lines of a suit or blazer and makes you look more like a doofus than when your pockets are crammed with stuff – a wallet, a cell phone, keys, a calculator, a calendar, pens, etc.
Donald Trump would make a great president.

Stoutly pro-tax-cut and libertarian on social issues like abortion, Trump is a Republican with the business know-how to turn the country’s economy around.

Few remember that Trump was among the first in the country to recognize the danger of radical Islam.

The biggest attraction with wearing seersucker has to be its rumpled look. This is because seersucker has a lack of inherent structure.
The reason I’m a Nixonite is because of his indestructibility and resilience. He never quit.
Money is speech. It’s incongruous to say a multimillionaire can spend as much on his own campaign as he wants, but you can only give $2,300. His free speech rights are different from yours, thus violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. It’s absurd.
The pocket square, properly contrived, finishes a man’s look. With good tailoring and well chosen neckwear, the look connotes power, taste, refinement, manners. The naked pocket connotes the opposite: working class, tasteless, base, crude, ignorant.
I like the new, cool, swinging Justin Timberlake.
Never wear a seersucker suit straight off the rack. It’s going to look shapeless and droopy. If you’re going to sport seersucker, whether a jacket, trousers or a full suit, have it fitted. A nice, custom, tailored fit makes all the difference in the world.
