Half a century ago, Ronald Reagan, the man whose relentless optimism inspired me to enter politics, famously said that he didn't leave the Democratic Party; the party left him. I can certainly relate. I didn't leave the Republican Party; it left me.

Charlie Crist

The Democratic Party went far to the left, I think, and left some of us stranded on the beach, so we went to the Republican Party.

Pat Robertson

I grew up in a Texas where people would say, 'I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party left me.' Now, the reverse is happening. People are leaving the Republican Party because the Republican Party is going too far to the right in Texas. And that's a source of great potential support for Democrats.

Julian Castro

The Republican Party supported the Equal Rights Amendment before the Democratic Party did. But what happened was that a lot of very right-wing Democrats, after the civil rights bill of 1964, left the Democratic Party and gradually have taken over the Republican Party.

Gloria Steinem

I didn't leave the Republican Party. It left me.

Charlie Crist

I sometimes think that I didn't leave the Republican Party, as much as it left me.

Hillary Clinton

I've been left to wonder if it's the national Republican Party Scott Brown represents, or the people of Massachusetts? Let me add that I believe it's a fair question to ask of any of us, Republican or Democrat, who have the privilege of being sent to Washington.

Michael Capuano

Carlos Beruff supported Charlie Crist after he left the Republican Party. Does that should like someone who is a conservative Republican?

Carlos Lopez-Cantera

You can't say the Negro left the Republican Party; the Negro feels he was evicted from the Republican Party.

Edward Brooke

The Democratic party has gone so far to the left that people just can't relate to it anymore and the Republican party is trying to go totally to the right.

Glenn Danzig

Republican party leaders have been worrying about the damage a [Donald] Trump nomination could do to the party, but also what might happen if he left the GOP and took his supporters with him. But Trump said he would stay a Republican and do everything in his power to beat Hillary Clinton.

Ted Cruz

The godfather of the modern Mississippi Republican Party, Charles Pickering, left the Democrats in 1964 because the party's national convention agreed to seat two black delegates.

Steve Kornacki

Maybe this is my left-wing conspiracy theory, but the right has re-branded itself as kind of the everyman party: Who's the person you'd rather have a beer with? The Republican Party, even though it's a party of incredible wealth and corporate interests, has hidden behind this everyman quality.

Morgan Neville

Tonight, I want to say to every member of the democratic party, who believes in limited government, in personal opportunity and the united States constitution, and a safe and secure America, come home. To the Reagan Democrats, your party has left you. And the Republican party wants you, we welcome you back.

Ted Cruz

I think the danger with the liberal Left is seeing the Republican Party as a monolith.

Nina Easton

I think the Republican Party has moved substantially to the right, particularly on social issues... And the Democratic Party has moved to the left over the past decades. So we've got a lot more room in the middle.
