Putin Knows How To Run

I Meet With Ambassadors From All Countries In My Role As A Member Of Congress, And You Always Have Better Relationships With Those You Actually Personally Get Along With. That Matters. So If There Is Chemistry Between Donald Trump And Vladimir Putin, Maybe That Can Bode For Something.

Americans In General Have A Lot Of Compassion, We Just Don't Always Have The Same View Of How That Compassion Is Implemented.

Its Not About Earning A Paycheck, Its About Doing Something Good That You Believe In.

Russia Is A Competitor. They're A Strong Nation, Something We Need To Recognize, But Their Economy Is Just A Little Bit Bigger Than Illinois, So They're Not Our Equal. I Think Its Important To Engage Them. And I Think It's Important That We Continue To Fight For Human Rights, Which Is Essential To Denying The Next Generation Of Terrorists Their Recruits And This Is A Long-term Fight We're In When It Comes To The War On Terror. And I Think The Russians Are Exacerbating This By Making People Displaced And Killing Families And That's How You Lead To Radicalization.

I Think Donald Trump Needs To Be Very Clear To Vladimir Putin. Let's Try To Discover Areas We Can Work Together. That's Fine. We're Two A World Power. They're A Great Power Arguably. But At The Same Time We're Not Going To Give Any Ground. We Have To Defend Our Nato Allies.
