Bernie Sanders is a disappointment on foreign policy, totally doesn't think about it. But he has the possibility to be more isolationist, which would be good for us actually.

Kennedy was significantly different than Eisenhower before him, and different from Johnson after him. So those three years were the beginning of a détente with the Soviet Union, a new feeling for peace, a seeking out of a new ally with the Soviet Union - the end of the Cold War, as Kennedy called it in his American University speech.

Every day that you get up, it's some kind of victory if you're making a good product, or working on a project that can only help mankind.

We're all divided, but some of us have children, and we are invested in the future and would like to see good things happen.
