Ken Livingstone

I vote in every general election, but I’m not a party member or an ideologue. I’ve never told anyone who I’ve voted for.

Brian Lamb

The general election is not an organizational exercise – it’s a mass media exercise.

Roger Stone

That 1983 general election contained the telltale seeds of eventual Scottish Tory self-destruction.

Charles Kennedy

Prior to the 2014 General Election, the country was passing through a phase of uncertainty. After the elections, my government assumed charge and vowed to build a New India. A New India with no place for imperfect, corrupt and inertia ridden systems.

Ram Nath Kovind

What happens traditionally in a campaign is they will go out to their list once or twice a week to raise money from their fund-raisers, but when a candidate gets to a general election, you get some donor fatigue because they’ve already maxed out their campaign to give.

Corey Lewandowski

Theresa May‘s decision to call an unnecessary general election after Article 50 was triggered was deeply irresponsible.

Keir Starmer

The lesson of the Clinton years and of Obama‘s win of both the nomination and the general election in 2008 is that Democrats need to be as tough as JFK was.

Jon Meacham

Successful presidential campaigns follow a two-part strategy. For Republicans, Richard Nixon described it as running to the right in the primaries and running back to the center in the general election. For Democrats, the idea is to go to the left in the primaries, then to the center.

Lawrence O’Donnell

It’s fun to perform Bernie Sanders and give his boring percentages and fact-based points to address some ridiculous Trumpisms, because that was always my fantasy for what the general election would look like.

James Adomian

Newspapers can make their own judgment in terms of who they support in a general election. Our responsibility is to make a considered judgment about where the national interest lies.

Douglas Alexander

Should Sen. McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for President in my lifetime. I certainly can’t vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama based on their virulently anti-family policy positions.

James Dobson

In the 2010 general election, the Liberal Democrats built their campaign around a pledge to abolish tuition fees. By the end of that year, however, they had tripled them instead. The Liberal Democrats had made young people feel as if they were on their side. They were not.

Angela Rayner

I also want to draw attention to the responsibilities that people have to live up to their election promises and to live up to the votes that were cast by the people of Wales, in the General Election, in the expectation that we would deliver this promise.

Ron Davies

We have got this Damocles’ sword of Standard and Poor‘s hanging over us, with the commitment they have made to review Britain‘s credit rating in the summer of 2010 after the general election. Everybody in Britain has a vital interest in ensuring that the triple A credit rating agency is maintained.

Philip Hammond

How it is that within 60 days of a general election issue, groups can no longer tell voters that a Member of Congress votes pro-abortion, against guns, against the environment or whatever else is beyond me.

Paul Weyrich

There wasn’t a Scottish nationalist MP elected at any general election when we were outside the E.U.

Michael Gove

By definition, the person who learns enough to become the nominee is almost certainly the best person for the general election.

Newt Gingrich

At the next General Election, voters face a clear choice: deregulation and less interference in everyday life with the Conservatives, or yet more regulation and interference under Mr Blair.

John Redwood

Remember, the first presidential candidate to reject public financing for both the primary and general election was… Barack Obama, in 2008. He did it, in spite of a flat pledge to the contrary, because his campaign saw that it could vastly outspend John McCain.

Jeff Greenfield

I remember being told after the 1992 general election that Labour could never win a majority in Britain ever again.

Kwasi Kwarteng

Our problem in the 2015 general election was that for all the good stuff that was in the Labour manifesto, we were still going to be freezing public sector wages, cutting council expenditure, laying off civil servants. We were offering ‘austerity light‘ instead of a real alternative.

Jeremy Corbyn

And we know there has been horrendous loss of life and suffering and we know that there is anger. Anyone who came anywhere near the general election in constituencies with a substantial Muslim population knows that.

Clare Short

There are three opportunities that you have during a general election campaign where you can substantially move the needle of public opinion. One, is your convention speech; two, are the base; three, is the selection of your vice president.

Mark McKinnon

I was Margaret Thatcher in the school election during the 1983 General Election.

Liz Truss

What’s important is that, come the general election, people think the right things of you. They think that you’ve got the right values and the right policies. And that you’re the right kind of person to lead the country.

George Osborne

I always believed that WikiLeaks as a concept would perform a global role, and to some degree it was clear that it was doing that as far back as 2007 when it changed the result of the Kenyan general election.

Julian Assange

The Florida Jewish community is incredibly important in the primary and will be that important in the general election as well.

Ted Deutch

When you have a general election result you don’t like, you don’t have another general election.

Nicholas Soames

Romney‘s Obama-era CPAC struggles spoke to a challenge his ’12 campaign never overcame: to shore up the GOP‘s restive conservative base in a way that would allow him to pivot to the middle in pursuit of general election voters.

Steve Kornacki

When it comes to the general election, we are no longer running as an individual: we are running as the head of a ticket. And so the party itself will be doing some things to raise money, and Mr. Trump has indicated that he’d be willing to help the party.

Paul Manafort

We read primary results to assure ourselves that this candidate has won this state‘s primary and can win the state in the general election. I think that’s a very dubious jump to make.

Steve Kornacki

Because I have moderated two general election debates – in 2004 and 2008 – I know better than to carp from the sidelines. I am confident in my accomplishment of having had Queen Latifah portray me on ‘Saturday Night Live’ both years.

Gwen Ifill

Several amendments should be made to the primary and general election laws to improve them, but such changes must in no way interfere with a full and free expression of the people’s choice in naming the candidates to be voted on at general elections.

Arthur Capper
