[My father] was interested. He read the newspapers and read Time and U.S. News and World Report and people in stores would come along, you know, and they would talk politics.

I liked Donald's Trump speech on foreign policy. What he's showing is that his fundamental views are solid, and that there's an intellectual basis for this, an economic basis for what he's saying, and that can lead him to victory.

[Mitt] Romney didn't get beyond the numbers. He couldn't get 50 percent. Romney didn't - Romney got killed by the under-$50,000-a-year income voter. He just got killed in that.

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

I think if a candidate ran for office in most states in the country, if his opponent, or her opponent was an effective advocate against the TPP and could show, as I think we will be able to show, it's detrimental to working Americans, I think they would have a hard time getting elected.

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

It's perfectly reasonable and responsible policy for any nation to maintain its sovereignty, to protect its borders. And [Donald] Trump does not believe in ending immigration. He's never proposed that.

Kissinger-type foreign policy is clearly, in my view, the proper tilt for us in the future, and he [Donald Trump] gets it. And some of our members, I guess, have been so deeply committed to the [George W.] Bush agenda, the neo-conservative agenda, that it's harder for them to acknowledge that. But I acknowledge it.

I'm against TPP and I'm going to oppose it.

We were segregated throughout the community, and it was pretty brutal, actually. It didn't appear to be, on the surface.People got along and we had great relationships, but there was discrimination that impacted adversely the ability of the African-American community to progress. People did not - were in denial about that fact.

We're going to create factory jobs for recent immigrants, and Donald Trump is going to take care of them. That's why his numbers, even right now, in this negative period, are holding pretty strong, because people want a leader that's going to make this country great again and have a strong economy.

We need to give them [the Justice Department] as much power as we can without eroding fundamental liberties.

At least 99.92% of illegal immigrants and visa overstays without known crimes on their records did not face removal.

More taxes, more regulation, more Washington domination, more debt. Those things are not the future for America. They will never work.
Jeff Sessions

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

There was a resistance movement in the white community, and there was a determined civil rights movement by our neighbors and friends in the African-American community. They had right on their side. They conducted themselves in high standards, with courage and determination, and they were victorious. They overcame.
