I try to counter what Donald Trump says that might have an effect on somebody.

I think it's fair to say that diplomacy today requires much more of that if you're the United States of America than it did 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago.

The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I think it's a good rule for politics, too.

We regret mistakes were made.

Donald Trump talks us down. He makes disparaging comments about America. He calls our military a disaster. Well, it's not, but it might have been if everybody else had failed to pay taxes to support our brave men and women in uniform.

I mean, of course that's a theoretical question, and we don't know what it would be for, and we don't know how many numbers there are. I am against American combat troops being in Syria and Iraq.

Our responsibility as citizens is to keep doing our part.
