There's no way now for you to get a Democratic or Republican nomination without being able to raise $200 or $300 million or more. I would not be inclined to do that, and I would not be capable of doing it.
African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open-minded, not even considering a conservative point of view. I have received some of that same vitriol simply because I am running for the Republican nomination as a conservative. So it's just brainwashing and people not being open-minded, pure and simple.
On its face, Donald Trump's hateful musings about women and his boastful claims of sexual dominance should be reason alone to drive him from polite society and certainly to blockade him from the West Wing. Yet somehow, his misogyny has instead propelled his campaign to the brink of the Republican nomination.
My nomination to be Governor was not to gratify ambition.
In 2000, Trump could have won the Reform Party nomination. I chaired his presidential exploratory committee.
When I did 'Thoroughly Modern Millie,' it was almost every 'first' I could have imagined: I dreamt someday being on Broadway, and then dreamt someday playing a lead on Broadway, and then dreamt someday of getting to originate a role, and then getting a Tony nomination. It all happened at once. I was just terrified.
Here's the reality: when Hillary Clinton won the nomination, the DNC handed her insufficient and substandard tools for success.
If there ever was a poet for the working class Billy Joe Shaver and Merle Haggard would be my nomination.
Being on Broadway and getting a Tony nomination - this has been an incredible ride, from rather humble beginnings.
Open nominations means it is local Liberals who choose who gets to be their representative. But what that doesn't mean is that somebody can behave any which way and bully other people out of the nomination and then be the last person standing.
For people to even think that I'd be considered or a good candidate for a supporting actress nomination is mind blowing to me.
