I have said many times that Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism.

I’m a supporter of Israel, always have been.

I would not trade America’s position in the world – our ledger, our debts and assets – for any country in the world. There isn’t a country in the world even close to America.

The United States can’t impose democracies. We can’t impose our will. The Russians found that out in Afghanistan.

I believe, and always have, that America must engage – not retreat – in the world.

I’m not saying my idea is the one and only idea. We should have other ideas, but the president has not laid down a specific plan as to how he’s going to get us to solvency. I do that.

Well, let’s go back to the original intent of Social Security. It is an insurance contract.

This current government in Iraq has never fulfilled the commitments it made to form a unity government with the Kurds, the Sunnis and the Shia. We have worked hard with them within the confines of our ability to do that but we can’t dictate to them.

Peace comes through dealing with people. Peace doesn’t come at the end of a bayonet or the end of a gun.

I am fully supportive of ‘open service’ and committed to LGBT military families.
