I think it would be a threat [Donald's Trump presidency] to the conduct of our foreign policy and our position in the world at large.

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

We need a complete ban on soft money, which is sort of an enveloping problem, and a ceiling on the amount of money that can be spent on a given race.

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

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.

Speaking of tax fairness, it was Senator Kerry who voted to increase the income tax on senior citizens on Social Security, earning as little as $32,000 a year.

I don't understand the Democrats' approach to Social Security in this country, and I'm not alone.
