I support stem cell research, including embryonic stem cell research.

Leaders do not sway with the polls. Instead, they sway the polls through their own words and actions.

Leadership is about doing what you know is right - even when a growing din of voices around you is trying to convince you to accept what you know to be wrong.

I generally believe in polls. Scientific polls are accurate.

It`s not just Republicans. It`s Republicans and Democrats. It`s middle class, lower middle class, working class Americans who have felt the angst, who are frustrated, who are angry as a result of 1% growth which, in my view, has been really the issue that has propelled Donald Trump from day one.

We have no more fundamental obligation in government than to ensure the safety of our citizens.

I don't know what leadership is. You can't touch it. You can't feel it. It's not tangible. But I do know this: you recognize it when you see it.
