“My rules of engagement have always been pretty simple— if we are going to intervene in a conflict, there had better be a direct threat to our national interests.

“Immigrants come to this country, they want to work hard, be successful, raise their kids, and share in the American dream. It’s a beautiful story.

“Why do you think people tuned in? To hear the nasty questions? To watch a bunch of politicians trying to pretend they are outsiders (like I truly am) so they can be more successful?
