“… it doesn’t even matter if it’s active or not terribly active, it’s really what hits us or doesn’t hit us. … I mean, that’s what we’re concerned about. So you can have a very active season. Maybe we don’t get impacted or you can have a mild season, but if we get impacted by just one big one, it does that. So knock on wood.

“I don’t believe we have the luxury of writing in candidates’ names, particularly in swing states.

“The transgender thing is incredible. Think about it, your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child, and many of these children, 15 years later, say, ‘What the hell happened? Who did this to me?’”

— Kamala Harris taunted Donald Trump for insisting on muted microphones at their debate.

“I was sort of like a hot guy. I was hot as a pistol. I think I was hotter than I am now, and I became president. Okay. I don’t know. I said to somebody, was I hotter before or hotter now? I don’t know. Who the hell knows?”
“Our understanding is that Trump’s handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don’t think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own.”
