To be locked into partisan politics doesn't permit you to think clearly.

The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic, and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom.

Talk and action are two different things.

I'm not sure if President Obama is an ideologue or a pragmatist. I am hoping and praying he's a pragmatist.

You have to be willing - you have strong ideas, you have strong views, but you have to be willing also to look at experience.

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.

When President-elect [Donald] Trump wants to take on these issue, when his goal is to increase the economic security of middle class families, then count me in.
