Nobody Ever Won An Election

I Always Believed As A Speechwriter That If You Could Persuade The President To Commit Himself To Certain Words, He Would Feel Himself Committed To The Ideas That Underlay Those Words. And The Big Shock To Me Has Been That Although The President Said The Words, He Just Did Not Absorb The Ideas. And That Is The Root Of, Maybe, Everything.

One Of The Questions I Often Get Asked Is, "were You Surprised That Trump Won?" I Always Answer The Same Way: "i Was Surprised, I Am Surprised And I Will Never Stop Being Surprised."
