I do think that Hillary Clinton risks looking like she`s imitating Elizabeth Warren when she starts doing it. She`ll look like Elizabeth the Second. And nobody is electing anybody a second of anything.
I`m center left, but I think - most things, left on some, center on some, right on very few.
I still think a reasonable question is, would we be better off with [Muamar] Gadhafi and Bashar al-Assad still in there and Mubarak still there and Saddam [Hussein] there than the crap we have got looking at us now?
If you think what you see on TV is prejudiced, it is. Follow your instincts.
I think a lot it was the theology, that the road to Jerusalem runs through Baghdad, that somehow if we broke apart the rejectionist states, like Iraq, then the whole Middle East would reconfigure itself into a more favorable environment for democracy and Israel and us.
I never know what all of these guys are thinking, but Marco Rubio sounded desperate, like, We`ve got a leak in the dike, we got to stop this thing.
The whole reason we organize grassroots is, we think any politician that gets elected needs to be held accountable 365 days a year.
I think we all [americans] think we're a special country. But the question is, what - what call does that give us?
I think, any politician, you have to hold them to their word. And conservatives run on fiscal conservatism. .
I think that the candidates who are doing it [not debating] are doing a great disservice to the party. It`s a sign of an unhealthy institution.
I do still think there is a big disconnect between Republicans in Washington, D.C., and Republicans everywhere I go. When you start talking about, you know, foreign entanglements, they just don`t want any part of it.
People do have a - people, unlike politicians, are allowed to change their minds. People are allowed to look back and say, you know what, all things considered, I don't think that was the smart move.
I think also people in states like Pennsylvania know that a lot of money and effort and time needs to be spent on knitting America back together, on the bridges and the roads and the infrastructure and the education.
I think in places like Pennsylvania, there`s folks who want our next president to talk like a hawk, but fly like a dove.
