I find it deeply disturbing that someone wanting to be president of the United States would talk the way Donald Trump talks, use the rhetoric, the demagoguery, the bigotry and the bluster and the bullying that he has demonstrated.

The only way that American troops could have stayed in Iraq is to get an agreement from the then-Iraqi government that would have protected our troops, and the Iraqi government would not give that.

On some campuses, change is effected through nonviolent or even violent means.

We have to tackle the plague of gun violence.

[Police chiefs ] want support, they want more training, they want more assistance. And I think the federal government could be in a position where we would offer and provide that.

I think that, given the threat that ISIS poses to the region and beyond, as we have sadly seen in our own country, it is important to keep the Iraqi army on a path where they can actually take back territory, to work with the Sunni tribes in Anbar province and elsewhere so that their fighters can be also deployed, to work with the Kurds to provide them the support, but they're doing the fighting. We're doing the support and enabling.

The money has to go to the federal government because the federal government will spend that money better than the private sector will spend it.
