There are several such issues where I have departed radically from the Republican orthodoxy.

It's healthy for government to be a kind of moral catalyst, using the bully pulpit of high office.

There's no Walter Cronkite to give you the final word each evening.

I have a lot to say about Mrs. [Hillary] Clinton that has not been said by others recently and that I think needs to be said. I mean I've known her for 40 years. I worked with her, I know her well professionally. I know her well personally. I know her to be a person of high moral character. A reliable person and an honest person, however Mr. [Donald] Trump may rant and rave to the contrary. So I'm happy to say that. People can make their own choices.

So government acts as a safeguard of our property.

The courts are truly the least dangerous of the three branches of our government.

Government is never so noble as when it is addressing wrongs.
