Donald Trump needs to understand the Republican establishment - they're not going to be his friend, either.

I'm from California, I know what's up with this. You keep raising people's taxes eventually they are going to say no.

In 1996, a Republican governor in South Carolina tried to take the flag down. He was voted out.

Why not start over because every promise made is not kept, why not start over so the American people can debate [the health care law] again?!

Are Americans afraid to face the reality that there is a significant portion of this world's population that hates America, hates what freedom represents, hates the fact that we fight for freedom worldwide, hates our prosperity, hates our way of life? Have we been unwilling to face that very difficult reality?

However, I also want to say this. The ranch standoff that took place out in Nevada was not about a man named Cliven Bundy. At the heart of this issue was my belief that our government is simply out of control. Now, to me, this was about a federal agency’s dangerous response to a situation that could have resulted in a catastrophe, and that means people dying and people being shot, kind of comparable to what we saw in Waco, Texas.

I've been able to read people my entire life, because I've interviewed people now for 20-some-odd years. So you can read people that way.
