“I want us to continue to be the world’s leader in internal combustion engines.” —Abdul El-Sayed (“Cars are the modern-day cigarette.” —El-Sayed in 2016)

“The court has kind of blinded itself to the very deleterious effects of their rulings on how the political system works. It has created a democracy that does not work as well as it should.” —Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan

“I can tell you exactly what will happen if Democrats regain power: They will use your money to fly deported illegal aliens back to America and pay them settlements. They will re-open our borders and ship millions of foreign people to any community they want. And they won’t stop until America becomes an unrecognizable country.” —Texas Rep. Brandon Gill

“Sometimes you’re casting a vote to protect yourself from a worse outcome. But if we don’t exercise our ... responsibility to vote, then we are owning what happens next through our inaction.” —Tulsi Gabbard
