“Because as much as the world loves you one minute, it can be way down on you the next.” Quote by Alyssa Mastromonaco
“I didn't have a ton of role models back in 1998. So, when I was looking to get in, it was really just looking up at all the men who were out there. When you're not seeing women - when you're breaking into anything - it's like, "Well, this is what the men do and how they act, so we're going to just emulate that behavior."” MenHe ManBehaviorRole Models Author:Alyssa Mastromonaco
“I wanted young women to know that I was very lucky that I worked for people who literally let me be me. If I had ever been anyone other than me, I would have come off as a fake, a phony, a fraud, and never would have gotten where I ultimately ended up. You can be yourself and be in politics, and they should know that. That was kind of why I wanted to do it - because I didn't see any freaks in politics like me.” PeopleKindLuckyLet MeFakeBeing YourselfFraudFreakYoung WomenPhony Author:Alyssa Mastromonaco
“I don't think that Donald Trump treated Hillary any differently than he treated Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio. He is a deeply disrespectful person who didn't have enough reverence for the office he was running for to act humane.” ThinkingEnoughRunningOfficeReverenceDisrespectful Author:Alyssa Mastromonaco
“I'd love to say "Donald Trump is just sexist." And I do believe he's sexist, but I also believe that he also treats anyone who is his opponent in a very insane and disrespectful way.” BelieveInsaneSexistDisrespectful Author:Alyssa Mastromonaco
“The thing that I think is so depressing, fundamentally, about Donald Trump, is that he doesn't appreciate what's happening right now. He doesn't seem to think it's an honor. He doesn't seem to understand why we're actually super blessed to have the government we have. I also don't ever get the sense that he loves Americans.” ThinkingHonorAppreciateBlessedDepressing Author:Alyssa Mastromonaco
“If you look at Obama - I think that what you saw during those eight years, and in those last few weeks, was that he really loves people and he is going to miss them. And that he deeply appreciate the opportunity he was given.” PeopleThinkingOpportunityWeekMissingAppreciate Author:Alyssa Mastromonaco
“Find someone who you really believe in - that can be at a state level. The one thing I can encourage women to do the most is to start at the state level.” Believe Author:Alyssa Mastromonaco
“I would encourage young women to find a person, give it your all, and leave it all on the field. The one thing I have found is that, if you are sitting at a table, most women will want to only give their opinion only when it's almost fact in their mind - whereas dudes will pontificate a lot more. And I will tell you, I've started pontificating a lot more, which is very satisfying. Women should not be afraid to speak.” GivingMindSpeakOpinionYoung Women Author:Alyssa Mastromonaco
“When I had been dating my husband for a while, the president Obama said to me, "When is he going to put a ring on it?" And I was like, "Oh, come on. We are so busy. We don't need to think about that." He said, "He needs to put a ring on it because you're worth it." And the thing is, I'm not even kidding you, it was about a week or two later that we got engaged.” ThinkingPresidentWeekHusbandDatingBusyRingsMy HusbandPresident ObamaWorth It Author:Alyssa Mastromonaco
“As far as I know, the line of communication between the U.S. and Russia continues to be open and the battlefield commanders are able to communicate with one another. I am aware that there have been certain public statements made out of Moscow.” CommunicationCommunicate Author:Rex W. Tillerson
