So I think we're, we're, we're as broad a political party, if not broader than the Democratic Party, just in a different political spectrum.

I do have to ask the following: I feel very bad about that [spate of incidents, racially-charged incidents, across the country ].

The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified.

It's a phony issue. To pretend the death penalty is going to end crime in the United States is to fool people, to promote public ignorance.

I think [Donald Trump] s got the votes for [tax reform]. I think he's definitely has the Republican votes for it, in House and Senate, and I think he probably has maybe 20 percent of the Democratic vote for it. So he could get it done with a bipartisan majority.

Donald Trump is going to lower taxes, Hillary Clinton's going to raise taxes. He's going to add to our military, she's going to decrease our military. He's going to support the police at a time in which we've had the biggest increase in crime in the last 41 years. He's going to take on radical Islamic terrorism.

I think what Donald Trump is reflecting is - and I know the media always discounts this because you don't like to get criticized. But you don't treat us the same way that you treat Democrats. Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama , they get the benefit of the doubt.
