Because I support the Second Amendment doesn't mean that I want people who shouldn't have guns to be able to threaten you, kill you or members of your family.

I don't think that strategically it is smart to begin cutting your options when the other side does not move at all.

We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground.

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?

My feeling is if you're going to be a leader, you have to carefully assess where people are and where people want to go.

We know that Donald Trump has shown a very troubling willingness to back up [Vladimir] Putin, to support Putin, whether it's saying that NATO wouldn't come to the rescue of allies if they were invaded, talking about removing sanctions from Russian officials after they were imposed by the United States and Europe together, because of Russia's aggressiveness in Crimea and Ukraine, his praise for Putin which is I think quite remarkable.

I believe in America, and I still do.
