Ideology

You know, just to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.

His vision of America is one where we Americans are kind of helpless. We need to be rescued… I can't really imagine him on a white horse, but that seems to be what he is telling us: 'I alone can fix it.

We're talking about the direction of our country, our children's future, the direction of the Supreme Court, all of this hinging on the next election. And at such a time as this, you cannot be lukewarm. We're going to take our country back, and you are either with us or against us.

America didn’t become the richest country in the world by practicing socialism, or the strongest country by denigrating its governing institutions, or the most talent-filled country by stoking fear of immigrants.

To every woman who gave birth to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation: we have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all, and to fight for equal rights for women in America.

The court looks the other way as yet another federal district judge casts aside state laws without making any effort to preserve the status quo pending the court’s resolution of a constitutional question it left open in United States v. Windsor…This acquiescence may well be seen as a signal of the court’s intended resolution of that question.

I do not believe - and I know this is a horrible thing to say - but I do not believe that the president loves America. He doesn’t love you, and he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up, through love of this country…with all our flaws, we’re the most exceptional country in the world. I’m looking for a presidential candidate who can express that, do that, and carry it out.

Vaccines are to measles what responsible gun storage is to child shootings. The onus is on adults to protect children.

These are responsibilities I take seriously, as should everyone. They’re bigger than any one party. They’re about our democracy.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not of building bridges, is not Christian.

I have a very good relationship with god, a great relationship with evangelical (Christian voters).
