CHUCK TODD: He doesn't play by a set of rules. And this is why campaigns complain to folks like me off the record but they don't have the guts to criticize him on the record because they know he's kind of a media bully. You know what I mean? He doesn't -- he plays by his own set of rules. He'll say whatever. He'll go on any platform to say it.

MICHAEL ERIC DYSON, GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY: What Rachel has suggested is that she has embraced an African-American culture, black identity that seems to run counter to what her parents desire... Those of us who talk about race as a social construct, that it is more complicated -- Bill Clinton as the first black president even though he never said that he was black. It means that she may not be African-American, but she may be blacker in a...

In an interview with Bill O'Reilly that aired Tuesday night on FOX News presidential candidate Donald Trump trashed the Republican field as "all talk, no action." DONALD TRUMP: Well I don’t have a lot of respect for many of them, but yes I do a couple. But I will tell you I’ve been dealing with politicians all my life. They are all talk, no action. Never going to get done, they’re controlled by the lobbyists. They’re...

KIM DOZIER, CNN: I was just at a conference of Muslim and mideast scholars trying to figure out the same thing. Why are so many of their young people being attracted to ISIS? And as near as they could figure out, it's that ISIS understands not only American and western culture better than a lot of these scholars and Muslim leaders do. But that they also know how to tap into the anger against it. One scholar said a lot of imams in this...

As you know, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party are going to run on the promise that the federal government can fix so-called income inequality. Last night I analyzed that fiction, and that edition of Talking Points is posted on BillOReilly.com. But the Republican Party, too, is concerned about the growing wealth gap in America. And that part of the story is real. A few Americans are very wealthy, while the vast majority of we...

Glenn Beck jumps in to the conversation about former Spokane NAACP president Rachel Dolezal, who was outed this week as a white person with a perm and a dark tan. GLENN BECK: 71% of those polled by MSNBC say it is perfectly fine for her to be 'trans-racial,' I will no go over the cliff with the rest of society... Can I ask everyone to just stop and ask everyone to recognize where we were eight years ago, ten years ago, fifteen...

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: It would be rather analytical overkill to parse the actual things he said. I think it was great showmanship, his stream of consciousness. I think his single most important statement was, I am very rich. That's the basis for the campaign. But you know, look. You say can you take him seriously? Can you really take seriously a candidate who says, Mexico is not our friend? It's sending us immigrants who are criminals, drug...

NICOLLE WALLACE: I'm going to talk to you about being a woman in the Republican Party, because I think there's an impression that there's six of us and we all talk and that's not the case. Republicans are half the country and there are a lot of really smart Republican women. I thought your run for the Senate was one of the best in the country during the cycle and I think your run so far in the Republican primary is grabbing tons of headlines....
