Quote

I thought the Wall Street Journal quote, they got a guy in Iowa to say I think exactly where I think this race is right now for a lot Republicans. He said, Nobody in Iowa wants [Donald]Trump for president. But everybody in Iowa wants somebody like Trump for president. That's what you need.

I hate this idea that we, as Americans, are going to say we're going to have a sense at the border, someplace else, that - to figure out whether or not Muslims can come to the United States.

I think it's important to understand that ISIS's biggest enemy are ordinary Muslims. That's why they're fleeing.

If you want to beat Donald Trump - then you need to be the candidate that is not the establishment in your thinking, in the way you're presenting yourself.

Remember this: For all the ugliness in the world there is far more beauty. For all the cruelty there is far more kindness. And remember one more thing: Those who remind you of this simple fact-keep them close

If you look at Paris, they didn't have guns and they were slaughtered. If you look at what happened in California, they didn't have guns, they were slaughtered. They could've protected themselves if they had guns.

I had actually, after the Paris attacks in this country, we all patted ourselves on the back and said, Well, we have a much more assimilated Muslim population here than they do in Europe.

Because people were attracted to him because he was not elected to an office. He was not a politician. And like you said before, he was a person that people say Wow! He has the idea! But the more and more you listen to Donald Trump, the more you have the sense that he is not the person that's going to run the country. And I have strong views.

Republicans advising candidates to grab onto the best elements of [his] anti-Washington populist agenda, but warning that Trump is a misguided missile, subject to farcical fits and candidates should avoid getting drawn into every Trump dust-up, but should quickly condemn some of his comments, including wacky things about women.

I don't think there's any clever way for the establishment to take Donald Trump down. It's very simple. Another candidate is going to have to find a way either to out-maneuver him, or to just frankly beat him in the argument.

I have to say that I saw terrorists in 2002, went to Islamabad, Pakistan, and met women who were supporting this ideology. I call them the Taliban Ladies Auxiliary back then.
