Political futures: “If Republicans blow themselves up in Georgia and hand Joe Biden control of the Senate, it will be a reckless act of self-destruction that will impose a steep cost on the country for years.” —Rich Lowry

Yep: “Teachers unions are about giving your kids the least amount of education for the most amount of money.” —Frank Fleming

For the record: “Make no mistake about it, I will seek to prosecute those who try to undermine our elections to the fullest extent of the law. The integrity of our elections is paramount. Outside groups who seek to interfere with democracy in Georgia should be forewarned that the consequences will be severe. We thoroughly investigate every single allegation of voter fraud.” —Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger

Nanny governor: “It’s going to happen because it’s human behavior. Be smart. I get it. I understand it. It’s wrong.” —Andrew Cuomo on having Thanksgiving with family

Grand delusions: “I’m hoping there’s going to be no activity that really is going to make it more difficult for us to try to repair the damage that has been done over the last four years in terms of Donald Trump’s actions on Middle East policies.” —former CIA Director John Brennan (On the contrary, Trump’s Mideast policy successes are quite impressive.)

Non compos mentis: “If you say ‘socialism’ three times in a mirror, a corporate lobbyist-backed candidate grows their wings.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (“Actually, if you say ‘socialism’ three times in the mirror, another Republican is elected to the House.” —Caleb Hull)

Lack of self-awareness: “It’s very hard for our democracy to function if we are operating on just completely different sets of facts.” —Barack Obama, whose Democrat Party thinks, among other things, that “male” and “female” aren’t biological “facts” and that voter fraud is a myth (unless it’s Russia)

And last… “You mean to tell me that the party that had no problem baselessly accusing Brett Kavanaugh of being a gang rapist in front of his children would be above orchestrating voter fraud to grab power from Trump?” —Charlie Kirk
