I think Hillary Clinton deserves to have people vouch for her other than members of the Democratic National Committee.

We thought for the longest time we might have a chance to run the table because we're such nice guys and centrist party, etcetera, but not getting into the debates really sort of foreclosed that option.

I have come to realize that Jesse Helms stands for everything in politics that is anathema to me.

[James] Comey's got a good background but there's nothing there, so far as it appears. Nothing there. So he wrote the letter to the eight Republican committee members copied to the Democrats saying 'you know some emails have turned up, we've looked at a lot of emails now it turns out there are even more emails - we don't know what's there, so there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that could be of interest to anyone until we conduct our multi-week, multi-month investigation.

Government has a role as well in what is referred to as redistributive justice.

I think in the real world that's probably correct. That would give federal matching funds. It would mean no more ballot access woes.

I would just say 2016 is a year when voters have to think for themselves and shouldn`t necessarily take it from the Rs and the Ds in Washington. But you have to vote for me because otherwise the other guy might win. That`s not really very substantive.
