"[Trump's] going against the party line. He's not a puppet by the Republican establishment. He's going with what the people want."

"We need to rebuild the parties. And I'll be honest, I have no clue how to do that. The biggest problem we have right now is being a Democrat is so far removed from being a Republican, and you can't agree on anything."

"I don't think that, honestly, this is going to be a great move going forward, so I don't think it's going to be better, per se. But we're going to have to wait and see what happens."

"As long as we can come together as a group — and that's where my big picture is."
