A man can - and should - spend hours trying on jeans and finding the cut for your body type.

Jeans are never appropriate for business unless you are a artist or cowpuncher.

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 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.

I believe the GOP should pitch its big-top tent around fiscal conservatism and a muscular foreign policy rather than carnival bark outside the sideshow tents of gay marriage and reproductive choice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the 1930s, anyone of any sophisticated status owned a cocktail shaker. Distinctive ones are easy to find.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Few remember that Trump was among the first in the country to recognize the danger of radical Islam.

Anyone who listens to the Nixon White House would recognize that Nixon, who was in the Navy, was no stranger to profanity.

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.

Stoutly pro-tax-cut and libertarian on social issues like abortion, Trump is a Republican with the business know-how to turn the country's economy around.

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

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

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

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.

I am a Libertarian Republican in the Goldwater style.

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

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

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.

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.

'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.

The John McCain tactic of praising Obama as a great American and great senator 'with whom I disagree' is a loser. You've got to call him out as what he is - a fraud and a disaster.

Donald Trump would make a great president.

In 2000, Trump could have won the Reform Party nomination. I chaired his presidential exploratory committee.

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

I like the new, cool, swinging Justin Timberlake.

Nobody ever built a statue to a committee.

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

The pocket square, properly contrived, finishes a man's look. With good tailoring and well chosen neckwear, the look connotes power, taste, refinement, manners. The naked pocket connotes the opposite: working class, tasteless, base, crude, ignorant.

A black or royal blue velvet blazer will look great with a pair of jeans and a black or navy turtleneck sweater - though it's a more casual look.

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

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