This country does not punish its political enemies. What this country ensures is that no one is above the law.

The United States has the burden to lead for peace. And not just peace - we need peace with justice, a much harder goal.

In retrospect there were failures enough to go around. There were failures before the storm and failures after the storm.

Basically [I become a Republican], pretty early. I had an English teacher that got me to subscribe to the National Review.

Occasionally [Donald Trump] says things that are too strong and upsets people, and I think he'll work to do better on that.

[Donald] Trump is where the Republicans are, and if you're going to be a Republican leader you should be supportive of that.

My parents, both of them had teachers in their family and were pretty well read. So my father voted for [Dwight] Eisenhower.

To every American, he [Donald Trump] is saying to them, "You elect me and we're going to fix the lawlessness at this border."

The Republican Party, in many ways, grew up as a reaction to that [ segregation], and a lot of people have misunderstood that.

All of us who work in law enforcement want to keep people safe. That is the heart of our jobs; it is what drives us every day.

Those policies - more taxes, more regulation, more debt, more spending, more government - will make American worse. It just will, in my view.

I think the elites who have done nothing about it, who don't want a wall and don't care that the border is illegal, they see this as a threat.
