Lay low, play dumb, keep moving.

I oppose the spending of trillions in Iraq and Afghanistan, I strongly oppose Islamic extremism but don't believe that sending troops to die in two unwinnable wars makes sense.

I also think now that Islamic terrorism is going to be front and center, there is going to be a new focus on whether this administration, the administration of Hillary Clinton at State, was permeated at the highest levels by Saudi intelligence and others who are not loyal Americans.

Always praise 'em before you hit 'em.

I am a Libertarian Republican in the Goldwater style.

I'm a total Republican, but I've never claimed to be a Christian-right conservative. They're a large but dwindling part of the Party.

I have been a friend of Paul Manafort's for, I don't know, almost 50 years. We go back to Young Republicans together. He has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and I choose to take him at his word.
