Hillary Clinton, as awful as I find her, is a survivable event. I'm not so sure about [Donald] Trump.

The United States survives so long as at least one of its major parties is politically and intellectually healthy.

In the Middle East there are two kinds of regimes - those that could be worse, and those that couldn't be worse.

I have a very, very hard time voting for Mrs. [Hillary] Clinton.

Who knows better than you what it means to have a commander-in-chief who lived his entire life, who lived throughout the entire Cold War, and doesn't know what the nuclear triad is? It's absolutely astonishing. And so it's terrific to have Joe Dunford and you know, perhaps John Bolton and other people in positions of trust.

I have been writing about Hillary Clinton, I just actually looked this up, since 1998 when she was busy standing by when Suha Arafat was launching anti-Semitic tirades against Israel and the Jews.

The dismissal of any of these people would send a useful signal to U.S. allies that the president has the nerve - and self-awareness - to make a change.
