I think when a campaign is dishonest in the ads they run about another candidate, it diminishes the campaign, it diminishes the candidate, and it diminishes the presidency.

Mitt Romney

During a political campaign everyone is concerned with what a candidate will do on this or that question if he is elected except the candidate; he's too busy wondering what he'll do if he isn't elected.

Everett Dirksen

There's always been that theory that if a candidate can't run a decent campaign, he probably can't run a decent presidency. That might be true, although sadly I must admit that running a brilliant campaign does not translate into running a brilliant White House.

Gail Collins

One way we exercise political freedom is to vote for the candidate of our choice. Another way is to use our money to try to persuade other voters to make a similar choice - that is, to contribute to our candidate's campaign. If either of these freedoms is violated, the consequences are very grave not only for the individual voter and contributor, but for the society whose free political processes depend on a wide distribution of political power.

Barry Goldwater

The challenge with a candidate like Donald Trump is he's not a conventional candidate, and he doesn't run a conventional campaign, and he doesn't answer questions in a conventional way.

Joel Benenson

Some political spouses are much more comfortable on the campaign trail than others, and they take to it a lot more naturally.

Monica Crowley

It is one thing to talk about fundraising and another to do it as a candidate, and I have learned so much about how much money it costs to run a campaign and what it means to raise money.

DeRay Mckesson

When I am the candidate, I run the campaign.

Richard M. Nixon

If you looked at Jeb Bush's campaign, it's more than just money. It's the nature of the candidate and the message and all that stuff.

Bernie Sanders

The best way to appreciate our political process is to volunteer for a campaign and support a candidate you believe in.

Rob McKenna

We can't make the public vote for a candidate. And I would never want to campaign for any political party.

Ranjeet

The problem with every American candidate regarding the presidency, I am not talking only about this campaign or elections, but generally, that they say something during the campaign and they do the opposite after the campaign.

Bashar al-Assad

It's much more fun to be involved, much more fun to be under the scrutiny, much more fun to be second-guessed than to not.

Joe Maddon

The Sanders campaign, however, broke dramatically with over a century of U.S. political history. Extensive political science research, notably the work of Thomas Ferguson, has shown convincingly that elections are pretty much bought. For example, campaign spending alone is a remarkably good predictor of electoral success, and support of corporate power and private wealth is a virtual prerequisite even for participation in the political arena.
