Zitat des Tages von Kristen Soltis Anderson:

Maybe President Trump will turn out to be a fabulously successful president who will endear the millennial generation to the Right anew.

Millennials easily connect the dots between good education and good opportunities, and they also understand that it isn't just hard work that determines how well a child will be educated - it also depends on where they live and the resources their parents commit to their education.

Being a skeptical and thoughtful consumer of polls is essential.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

I dreamed of being like Sam Seaborn on 'The West Wing'.

Donald Trump has had political success positioning himself as a 'law-and-order' candidate.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

What is a fair way to structure our economy? To handle those who did not come to America legally? To distribute scarce public resources and benefits?

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Millennials are not deeply familiar with school choice, and have some reservations, especially about the types of institutions that a student might choose to attend with taxpayer dollars.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Political science has long tried to tackle a fundamental question of voter behavior: Do voters choose politicians because those politicians hold views that they like, or do voters choose policy positions because the politicians they like say those positions are correct?

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Conservative women often make the case that 'all issues are women's issues,' and are sometimes derided by those on the Left when they do so.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

When talented, qualified women take on greater responsibility, the simple fact of being talented and qualified is hardly enough to shield them from the gender-specific animosity that will come their way.

When people note that more and more voters are cutting their landline phones and that more and more people are refusing to pick up phone calls from numbers they don't know, they are identifying problems that the polling industry has long struggled with and continue to try to adapt to.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Either people are changing their minds about Trump, or increasing numbers of his supporters are deciding it is too embarrassing to admit they support him. Neither is a particularly good position to be in.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

I do not think it is a coincidence that young people gravitated toward populist voices in the French election and that the two issue positions where Donald Trump and young voters seem to agree most - global engagement and trade - are rooted in populism.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Breaking dramatically with Bush-era Republican orthodoxy, Trump ran on a message of 'America First' and of avoiding spending blood and treasure on adventures overseas.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Republicans can't always agree on where to cut spending. They certainly can't agree on what to do about entitlements. There isn't a unified foreign policy vision, and there's no consensus on immigration reform.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

The reality is that the Republican Party may have unified government but is not unified enough on many major signature policy areas.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Maybe President Trump will turn out to be a fabulously successful president who will endear the millennial generation to the Right anew.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

For Trump, the story is everything. There is no real plan to defeat the villains that Trump tees up, of course.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

In the United States, it is unmistakable that young people have broken away from the political right and have gravitated to more leftist-populist figures like Bernie Sanders.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Congress has been productive when focusing on bites of policy that don't inflame the divisions within the party and quietly do the work of governing.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

I have written time and again about the damage the Republican Party has done to itself with the millennial generation.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Washington in the summer is a never-ending stream of tour groups and packs of students, here to swarm the monuments, stroll the National Mall, and learn about our nation's history and government.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

I remember fancying myself a junior 'McCainiac' in 2000, though politics were rarely discussed in our household.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Let's think about where things stood in December 2015. By that time, Republicans had already had such epic and long-standing struggles with young people that I'd written a whole book about it. Additionally, Republicans had already had a bruising start to their primary season.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

There are certainly more Republicans who like President Trump than like 'Republicans in Congress,' and certainly many Republicans who already feel like their own Congress is a brake pedal of its own.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

The robots are coming, whether we like it or not, and will change our economy in dramatic ways.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

After Mitt Romney's defeat, the RNC released its official assessment of what happened - a failure to reach younger voters, nonwhite voters, women - but was met with a counter-narrative that, in fact, it was Romney's failure to be conservative enough that led to a depressed Republican base.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

In 2012, when Mitt Romney named Russia as our greatest geopolitical foe, Democrats scoffed and accused Republicans of trying to ignite a new Cold War.

If a woman rising in power is too tough or aggressive, she's attacked for it. If she's attractive, she's accused of having used that to her advantage. And even if a woman is beyond qualified for a role, there will always be those who raise doubts about if she's really qualified.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Those who are able to afford to live in a neighborhood with 'good schools' will do so, knowing that a good education is the key to good opportunity for their children.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

I grew up in Orlando, Florida, and I joined the debate team right around the time of the 2000 election.

One thing that is fairly undeniable about Trump - love him or loathe him - is his understanding of how to manipulate the media and to perpetuate a symbiotic relationship with the press.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

If there is one issue where one could justifiably assume that Republicans are all in agreement, it is on lowering taxes.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Obamacare itself did not become popular until the middle of 2017, when the risk of repeal was the greatest; for the bulk of 2010 after passage, it was unpopular by double-digit margins.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

For some in my generation, Sept. 11th was a moment of political awakening. For others, the Iraq War or the financial crisis or the rise of Obama were the major events of their teenage years that began to lay the foundation for their views.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

Even when we're not talking about Trump, we're talking about Trump.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

It was weird that I was a young person who was Republican. And I wanted to get at the heart of why it was that so many people of my generation thought that being Republican just wasn't for them. They thought that conservative ideas just weren't for them.
