If the Democrats pick somebody, David calls it progressive but it's really on the left, and not anywhere near the center and you have Trump who's out here on the right, you could have a lot of disaffected voters in the middle.
The country is sort of center right and that's going to be the big challenge for the Democrats.
Well, there's no connection to that. But two things. First of all, I felt as though the President may have created some space, but where he -- what he has proposed is not going to be acceptable.
I think that Joe Biden is a very interesting candidate. The issue is about his age.
I like to think that at the end of the day, John, let the investigation be completed, hold your fire.
What I'm most worried about, John, is the fact that you've got a lot of people that could have their healthcare ripped from under them.
I want to have a good message to help my country. Maybe it's running for office, maybe it's not, but I am seriously looking to this fact.
If they pick somebody like an Elizabeth Warren on the far left and you have Donald Trump over here on the far right, you have a vast ocean of people.
One thing you don't want to do with people in that part of Ohio or any part of the country is to make a promise to them that you can't keep. False hope leads to big problems. It leads to damaged dreams. Don't false hope.
I don't think so, Anderson. Look, I mean the problem we have in Lordstown with General Motors is there's now a car there that has very thin profit margins and each people aren't driving these small cars.
I said that there's a vast majority of Americans who have said enough of this.
If the Democrats should win the House, the interesting question is can they work with Trump, President Trump, can they moderate his behavior?
I think that as Americans we should be voting for the person. I mean, I don't support Republicans who are dividers.
The President of the United States has the greatest mega phone really in the entire world. And the way the President leads and the way he speaks matters.
I believe we need unity. And here's what I also believe. I believe that the people of this country are good, and that the people of this country want to solve problems.
Look, he has an opportunity if he would seize it, to really bring people together. That is one of the jobs of a president, to calm people.
We expect more from the leader of our country, the leader of the free world.
The time has come to move beyond this. And name calling or, you know, kind of celebrating in the locker room, you know, that's not the way to move forward.
I think fundamentally why it's been hurt is because I think when it comes to family separation at the border, taking health care away from people, particularly as it reflects those with pre-existing conditions, this is not good.
I don't -- you're never going have another John McCain. He's the real McCoy.
