Bonus Quote of the Day

November 5, 2015 · 8:28 am ET · 34 Comments

“The so-called debate is more of a performance. It’s not a debate like you answer questions. It gives you the opportunity to say whatever you want. I’ve got to train myself to say what’s on my mind rather than what the question is.”

— Jeb Bush, quoted by the Tampa Bay Times, on next week’s GOP presidential debate.
