Politics should seize the imagination.

We all have a dark side but we keep it in its place because it's destructive. And Donald Trump has said, no, no, bring it out because that's the energy we need in order to reverse all these horrible things that have been happening in America.

You don`t have to be foreign policy expert to succeed as president, but you have to have ice water for blood.
