    Voters in every western country have no idea what policies are being voted on. They vote with their feelings.

    There are a lot of enthusiastic people who want to be on team man, team money, team military. The first thing those people learned after their names was that they were BOYS and they would be sorted into the BOYS section, play on BOYS team. Voting Conservative is a natural extension of what they’ve been doing their whole lives.

    It’s harder motivating people to get out for team women, team tolerance, team responsibility. It requires a leader with charisma who we fall in love with.

    I’m being absolutely serious when I say the Democratic Party should have nominated George Clooney — a famous celebrity figurehead would guarantee they win every presidential election.
