If you want to know about the character of somebody in public life, look to see if they have a passion that has animated them throughout their life, whether they were in office or out, whether they were winning elections or losing them.

I'm really, really worried about the Trump team, and I want people on the team who I think are adults who have judgment and won't do anything stupid.

In terms of what Hillary Clinton, who's running for president, thinks about Catholics and the value more broadly of having a faith background, I can tell you she views at it as a plus, just as she views her own Methodism as a plus.

Do you want a you're hired president in Hillary Clinton or a you're fired president in Donald Trump? I don't think that's such a hard choice.
