If Donald Trump behaves well, personally, and morally - I agree with Van [Jones] on this - if he distances - if he disassociates himself from forces that he unfortunately coddled and even fostered a little in this campaign, if he is responsible about the way in which he goes about his policy, initiatives on immigration and ObamaCare, trade and other areas, he has a huge opportunity, because the truth is that a lot of this stuff isn't that - there is a lot that can be done.

I think [Donald Trump] will do something on immigration.

Mitt Romney has to convince the American public that they need to do something they're not usually inclined to do - replace a sitting president with a challenger. And unlike in 1980 and 1992, when the public was persuaded to do just that, the incumbent president has not been weakened by a primary opponent.

Conservatism as an "ism" is always going to be somewhat in tension with a political party.

Republicans can also point to an alternate path. They can draw upon genuine experts to explain what should be done.

American power should be used not just in the defense of American interests but for the promotion of American principles.

I still would say generally that more people have access [to] and take advantage of more diversity of opinion than was once .
