Lots of hardworking, blue-collar people across America have lost their jobs since the 1990s - victims of the globalist policies of the Bushes and Clintons.

Nothing ruins the lines of a suit or blazer and makes you look more like a doofus than when your pockets are crammed with stuff - a wallet, a cell phone, keys, a calculator, a calendar, pens, etc.

A seersucker suit is one of the most iconic styles dating from the 1920s and is still a gentleman's best bet when it's hot and sticky.

Cruz named Former Texas Senator Phil Gramm as his economic guru. This guy virtually crashed the U.S. economy. Gramm is largely responsible for two bills which led to the speculative bubble which popped in September 2008.

Trump is the toughest guy I've ever met, and I've known some killers. His movement is bigger than the Republican Party, and he knows it.

American soldiers wore khaki uniforms during World War II. Men's khaki trousers became fashionable after the war, as homecoming GI's decided to continue wearing the soft, comfortable pants in their civilian capacities.

Americans are about to discover Governor Gary Johnson and his Freedom Agenda. They are going to like what they find.

Young Republicans are a very, very important constituency. Along with little old ladies, they provide the foot soldiers for the Republican Party.

Every well-dressed gentleman must have an all-cotton oxford cloth button-down shirt from Brooks Brothers.

Of course a lot of the journalists hated Nixon, but they were always blown away by how smart he was.

Plush velvet conjures up kings and opulence.

Never wear a seersucker suit straight off the rack. It's going to look shapeless and droopy. If you're going to sport seersucker, whether a jacket, trousers or a full suit, have it fitted. A nice, custom, tailored fit makes all the difference in the world.

Every man's closet must contain a trench coat. It's hard for any gentleman not to look dashing when clad in this swashbuckling style.

I do a lot of referendums. They can't talk back. They don't have wives. They don't have friends who tell you how to run the campaign. They are supported by special interests, so there's a lot of money in them.

I get blamed for things I have nothing to do with.

Bass Weejuns are the Cordovan black or brown penny loafers originally called Norwegian Loafers, hence their name. Worn without socks in the spring and summer, they must be kept to a high-gloss polish and should become burnished with wax over time until they have a fine patina.

Nobody ever built a statue to a committee.

The very best khakis are made by Bills Khakis.

Burberry makes the best version of the traditional trench coat, which can have a zipper and button-in lining for colder climes. The belt, which comes standard, should never be buckled but must be casually knotted at the waist.

The straps that suspend a man's trousers from his shoulders - known in the U.S. as 'suspenders' and in Britain as 'braces' - are always correct with a summer suit made of seersucker, linen, or silk.

I am a Reagan Republican.

I never owned a pair of blue jeans until I met my second wife.

The proper navy blue blazer can be single or double-breasted and looks best in a three-button style. The proper blazer requires side-vents. Italian versions can have no vent at all, but I find this a bit fast.

You can't be the candidate and the campaign manager.

Look at the greatest dressers in history - Philadelphia socialite and diplomat Angier Biddle Duke, Sir Anthony Eden, Fred Astaire, the Duke of Windsor, John F. Kennedy, and Gary Cooper - they all sport the well placed pocket adornment.

The longer khakis are owned and the more they are washed, the softer and more comfortable they become.

If you have to drag somebody to register, they're not highly motivated.

I oppose the spending of trillions in Iraq and Afghanistan, I strongly oppose Islamic extremism but don't believe that sending troops to die in two unwinnable wars makes sense.

Of course ankle length socks are cheaper, but they don't cover the lower leg as hosiery should.

Above all, avoid the Indiana Jones fedora. It's very yesterday, and if you wear a black one, you might be mistaken for an Orthodox Jew.

The Establishment on both the Left and the Right, who want to disenfranchise the millions of Republican voters who support Donald Trump, have blamed the staged riots near Trump rallies on Trump or on Bernie Sanders. That's like blaming the Russians for the Reichstag Fire.

An ascot is never a substitute for a well-tied four-in-hand tie or a slightly disheveled bow tie.

If you're not controversial, you'll never break through the din of all the commentary.

Money is speech. It's incongruous to say a multimillionaire can spend as much on his own campaign as he wants, but you can only give $2,300. His free speech rights are different from yours, thus violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. It's absurd.

Let's be very clear, if you check the F.E.C. records you will see I am supporting George W. Bush.

The general election is not an organizational exercise - it's a mass media exercise.

Socks must be at least an 18-percent synthetic blend to insure they don't droop, because droopy socks that show calf are worse than short socks that do the same.

In 1981, when he ran for governor, I confiscated the needlepoint belts of New Jersey's Tom Kean. It's a patrician look that is right for the Vineyard, Nantucket, Darien, Greenwich, Charleston and Savannah.

A Brooks Brothers button-down with an unfastened collar, rolled-up sleeves, and jeans makes for a comfortable, casual look.

I am a Libertarian Republican in the Goldwater style.

Obviously a candidate has to be held responsible for the words that come out of his mouth, regardless of where they came from.

Unless you are a lawyer or Fortune 500 CEO, carrying a briefcase is, well, nerdy.

Unless you can fake sincerity, you'll get nowhere in this business.

The Homburg makes a man look prosperous.

There is no article of men's clothing that can make a man look more like a douche than the ascot. There are, however, a few men who can pull it off. Context is everything.

What sets seersucker apart from other materials? It's the 'coolest' material to wear in hot and humid weather. 'Coolest,' as in temperature, and 'coolest' as in hip, baby! There is nothing like it.

I'm a total Republican, but I've never claimed to be a Christian-right conservative. They're a large but dwindling part of the Party.

If you're more interested in looking like a hipster, a jazz musician, or a young hunk, I'd recommend the pork pie. It has a narrow brim and a flat top.

Laureate is a highly leveraged failing investment whose principal beneficiaries are Wall Street fat cats and billionaires - and William Jefferson Clinton.

You can't wake up one day and say 'I'm for gay marriage,' and wake up the next day and say 'I'm against it.' Wake up one day and say, 'I'm pro-choice,' and the next day wake up and say, 'I'm pro-life.' There's no credibility there.

'The New York Times' breathlessly writes about the left-of-center Americans Elect being a 'new third party,' but we already have a third party: the Libertarian Party.

John McCain has taken tens of millions of dollars from special interests and lobbyists in his senate and presidential campaigns. Now, we have to wonder if he will be able to remain objective on national security matters, as millions pour into his 'charity' from oppressive foreign governments.

I remember going through the cafeteria line and telling every kid that Nixon was in favor of school on Saturdays. It was my first political trick.

Yellow looks good with a brown suit, but then, a brown suit never looks good.

Lay low, play dumb, keep moving.

Let's face it: most jerks trying to affect an ascot look like Thurston Howell III.

Manbags are only acceptable if you are Italian, French, or gay.

Traditionally, Young Republicans have been a leading indicator of the direction of the party.

The biggest attraction with wearing seersucker has to be its rumpled look. This is because seersucker has a lack of inherent structure.

Those who are outraged will vote.

Anthony Weiner is a crafty and worthy adversary - an unrepentant lefty who is usually a savvy media player.

Big brother listening in on your phone calls - I got a problem with that.

There is nothing - nothing - worse than seeing ankle or a hairy calf when a man in a suit or trousers sits down.

The reason I'm a Nixonite is because of his indestructibility and resilience. He never quit.

Khaki trousers soon became the province of hipsters like Jack Kerouac and Miles Davis. They were taken to new heights by Ralph Lauren, who helped popularize them among college professors and preppy men.

Never wear a button-down collared shirt with a double-breasted suit. The more formal double-breasted suit looks best with the more formal spread or long-point collar.

How can you be conservative and justify wiretapping people without a warrant? We're supposed to be the party of personal freedom and civil liberties.

A 527 doesn't have a wife. It doesn't have a brother-in-law who knows a lot about politics, or a union president who calls and doesn't like the color of the suit, or bimbo eruptions. It's the perfect candidate, because it has no personal characteristics.

There are more dog owners in America than there are conservatives.

There is no excuse for a well-dressed gent to wilt in the warm months.

When wearing a trench coat, you're allowed to act like Humphrey Bogart when he was detective Sam Spade.

The ascot connotes informality. It is something one might wear at a cocktail party in one's own flat but is not something you wear out in public.

In this business, if you don't pay your debts you're finished.

Hillary Clinton is excoriating Donald Trump over Trump University? The Clinton scandal at Laureate Education, a for-profit education chain of schools and colleges operating world-wide, including the United States, is much worse.

Politics with me isn't theater. It's performance art. Sometimes, for its own sake.

As someone who cares about human rights, I am deeply dismayed to learn that Mr. McCain's charity has accepted money from Saudi Arabia. Their track record of oppressing women, gays, Christians, and political opponents is notoriously horrific.

The dress hat took a nosedive after the dashing JFK showed up at his inauguration bareheaded. Suddenly, a chapeau was no longer de rigueur for any man leaving the house.

There is something urbane, stylish, and worldly about owning a cocktail shaker.

In most matters regarding apparel, I am a big fan of natural fibers - wool, cotton, and so on. Not when it comes to socks. An elastic fiber of some type is necessary.
