Donald Trump lives in an alternative reality.

You know, I'm not sitting here like some little woman standing by my man, like Tammy Wynette. I'm sitting here because I love him, and I respect him, and I honor what he's been through and what we've been through together. And you know, if that's not enough for people, then heck, don't vote for him.

There is a sense that things, if you keep positive and optimistic about what can be done, do work out.

And not go to things that sound good that really did not have the kind of impact that we would want. Who disagrees with keeping neighborhoods safe?

I think we can compete with high-wage countries, and I believe we should. New jobs and clean energy, not only to fight climate change, which is a serious problem, but to create new opportunities and new businesses.

From my perspective, you get up every day and you get out there and you make your case, and you reach as many people as possible.

I am a very committed person when it comes to finding common ground.
