I think Putin has changed, for sure. He has changed over time and he has been emboldened by, whether it's true or not, the perception is that we've pulled back, so people do change and this is an example of that.

So, I think it's important for us to be careful about the language we use, which is why I've been critical of Donald Trump. Disparaging women, disparaging hispanics, that's not a sign of strength. Making fun of disabled people... We're never going to win elections if we don't have a more broader unifying message.

There's got to be a point where we fix the system so that legal immigration is easier than illegal immigration and show respect for people, a kid who might have been here for 10 years, that might be a valedictorian of their high school to say, no, no, no you're not allowed to go to college. I just think there's a point past which we are over the line.

I'm not an expert on the ways of Washington [but] it makes no sense to me that we're not funding control of our border.

If we are going to compete in this world we're in today, there is no possible way we can do it with lowering expectations and dumbing down everything. Children are going to suffer and families' hearts are going to be broken that their kids won't be able to get a job in the 21st Century.

We need to increase our military spending. We need to deal with a no- fly zone in Syria, a safe zone.

I think the lesson's learned are that we have to have to have a strategy to get and a strategy to get out. Which means, that you create a stable situation.

It comes down to a choice between the Little Sisters and Big Brother, and I'm going with the Sisters.

I'm a grinder....I've never taken more than a week off in my adult life. I truly believe work is a virtue, it gives you purpose.

America does not have the luxury of withdrawing from the world, our security, and our prosperity, and our values demand that we remain engaged and involved in -- often distant places.

If I'm president, I'll be a commander-in-chief, not an agitator- in-chief or a divider-in-chief, that I will lead this country in a way that will create greater security and greater safety.

We mustn't assume that we are going to deinvent government solely from inside the Beltway or within one or two sessions of Congress. We will do it one step at a time, in one community at a time - at the local level and through local institutions like churches, nonprofit and volunteer organizations and families.

I'm not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's health issues.

I'm an introvert. Introverts have a huge advantage over extroverts. We can create a mission and we can act on it.

Donald [Trump], you're not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency. That's not going to happen.

If we want to destroy radical Islamic terrors, we can't disassociate ourselves from peace loving Muslims.

Donald [Trump], is great at - at the one-liners, but he's a chaos candidate.

I just think people, when they get elected, they ought to serve. They ought to do their jobs.
