[Ted] Cruz is not at all popular in the Senate. Republicans say he may be too disliked to be a nominee. And there is a real concern about that. I think the one way to go after Trump maybe is go after him as a closet Democrat. That he has supported Democrats in the past.

There are many other [then ISIS] terrorist organizations. And their primary victims are Muslims. I think that's very important.

I'm not in the business of changing policies. I hope to inform, not form, decisions.

People are so complex and multidimensional that raising someone to 'hero' status is too great a simplification.

I thought the Wall Street Journal quote, they got a guy in Iowa to say I think exactly where I think this race is right now for a lot Republicans. He said, "Nobody in Iowa wants [Donald]Trump for president. But everybody in Iowa wants somebody like Trump for president." That's what you need.

I hate this idea that we, as Americans, are going to say we're going to have a sense at the border, someplace else, that - to figure out whether or not Muslims can come to the United States.

I am very grateful for the opportunities I have been afforded.
