I see kids on the left who find our whole system of government, including democracy, as not important, and you know they seek to transform the country, they want to throw everything out.

You have to be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.

This is a really suicidal mission but it`s more than that. This should not be about politics. America is an immigrant country.

he certainly should not be blocked on the -- on the basis of his religion. And it has become increasingly clear that the Republican Party has gotten into some very, very nasty identity politics.

Ronald Reagan gave a speech at the Statue of Liberty in which he talked about making America great again, and what he was talking about was immigrants making America great again.

Republicans want to be the party of white America. Well, if they decide to go that route, they`re not likely to gain national office again anytime soon.

I don’t see it changing anytime soon. There’s been no consequences to any of these people’s action and I think it’s really could spell the death of the Republican Party.

It was fundamentally wicked, Chris. And there is an accounting. People are leaving the Republican Party in droves, by the thousands, people including myself.

I still consider myself a conservative. I'm not sure how much longer I can stay a Republican.
