I always thought of him [Jack Kennedy] as a prince, with a charmed life. He was a guy who was sick and in horrendous pain all the time - who would say, "I wish I had a few good days."
The fact that younger people are more inclined to socialism may well come with the fact that so many young people`s first experience with capitalism is as a debtor.
While I have questions about the language used in describing the two economic systems, I think people have fairly good gut sense of the difference between socialism and capitalism.
I never wrote off [Donald] Trump.
A new poll out taken by a Republican group that shows most Democrats prefer socialism to capitalism. Those terms don`t mean what they did maybe 40, 50 years ago.
I`m surprised people are that hopeful about what government can do, because if you believe in socialism, society can run a pretty decent government, it can provide services, it can regulate the economy effectively.
[Donald] Trump faces the perhaps accumulation of all the wealth in the world on the head of [Marco] Rubio, because Rubio`s the last gasp of hawks and establishment Republicans.
[John F.Kennedy] liked fresh company, new people to come visit and then leave. ... I think he liked the protection of numbers too.
[ John F.Kennedy's friend] Chuck Spalding at the wedding said Jack was two guys: the groom and somebody else observing from a distance. ... It must have been maddening to be married to a guy like that, but you could at the same time argue that characteristic kept the world from being blown up.
[John F. Kennedy] was Arthur, the guy in the middle of the room with all the swords pointed at him. ... He wanted control of the situation.
We are trying to pick the next president, not review the birth of the current president.
I'm trying to put the ridiculousness to bed. The president of the United States is the president of the United States.
There is absolutely no record ever of Hillary Clinton or anyone in her campaign ever saying that President [Barack] Obama is not legitimate.
Anybody can say anything they want. Hillary Clinton can control her own campaign.
