Dana Perino

There are times, especially on 'The Five,' where I've lost control for a moment. I always feel bad about it, but those always seem to be the times that people realize, if I'm mad about something, it must really matter.

I get a choice every time I have to open my mouth: that it can be with civility and dignity and grace - or not.

The two candidates have very different visions of America. Donald Trump's is very dark: Things are not going well. There are dark days ahead unless you make a change, and he's the one to fix it.

I have been a Republican, and I've worked in Republican circles for so long, and I know that there are really smart, good policy ideas that are grounded in conservative ideology that could be persuasive for women, especially in an election where no one was really excited about either candidate.

I understood early on that the freedom of America is what made our way of life possible and that we should help other people live in freedom, too.

I was raised to believe that America was a force for good in the world and that it should take its leadership role seriously.
