Rudy Giuliani Thinking Quotations

So I think we're, we're, we're as broad a political party, if not broader than the Democratic Party, just in a different political spectrum.

Partial-birth abortion, I think that's going to be upheld. I think that ban is going to be upheld. I think it should be. And I think, as long as there's provision for the life of the mother, then that's something that should be done.

There can be people who feel one way about gay rights, another way about gay rights. There can be people who have different views on abortion. But we respect each other. I think we learn from each other. And we understand that ultimately we have the same values.

I do think you have sort of a general philosophical approach that you want from a justice, and I think a strict constructionist would be probably the way I'd describe it.

First of all, she [Hillary Clinton] is going to raise taxes on the middle class. I actually think that's the only truthful thing she's said in about three weeks.

I think these debates coming up are going to be a test of who the American people like better, who they want in their living room more, who they think is better capable of being president of the United States.

I think Donald Trump's reaching out and supporting John McCain and Kelly Ayotte in particular, and Paul Ryan, who had been critical of him, you know, a couple of days earlier, shows that he has the ability and the understanding to realize that there are going to be disagreements and you've got to be able to reach out to the entire party.

I think her comments - Hillary's [Clinton] comments just don't get the same attention that Trump's do. For example, she lied to a Gold Star mother. She lied to pre - Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, who - who was killed at Benghazi, I believe, because of her incompetence, her incompetence in failing to secure that mission.

I think what Donald Trump is reflecting is - and I know the media always discounts this because you don't like to get criticized. But you don't treat us the same way that you treat Democrats. Hillary [Clinton], Bill [Clinton], [Barack] Obama , they get the benefit of the doubt.

I don't think a woman [Hillary Clinton] who has revealed numerous classified information, doesn't know that the letter "C" means confidential.

I think abortion is something that, as a personal matter, I would advise somebody against.

And it's a little - very humbling to think that running for president of the United States is - for a kid from Brooklyn, it's quite a step.

I think the accusations are about Hillary Clinton taking money from countries that kill women.

I don't think anyone has campaigned much more than I have for Republican candidates, going back to 1998. I mean, I've been in 45 states on behalf of 200 candidates - all Republicans.

If we were building our navy, rather than reducing our navy to pre-World War I levels, China would not be thinking about increasing its navy to take over the South China Sea.

To be locked into partisan politics doesn't permit you to think clearly.

Now, do I think the tax code should be simplified? Absolutely. Will Donald Trump do away with things like this? He probably is better positioned than anyone to figure out how to do away with it, because he understands the tax code better than anyone else.

Life needs penalties and rewards for people. You can't control people with only penalties. You have to think how to create rewards.

I think that sometimes the most intelligent things that prosecutors do is when they exercise their discretion not to go forward with a case.

The city is going to survive, we are going to get through it, It's going to be very, very difficult time. I don't think we yet know the pain that we're going to feel when we find out who we lost, but the thing we have to focus on now is getting this city through this, and surviving and being stronger for it.

When I run a business, and I run a business, if I don't take advantage of the five deductions that are available to me, even if you think those deductions are unfair, then I've violated my fiduciary duty.

After - after she [Hillary Clinton] called him [Donald Trump] a racist and misogynist, a xenophobic, I don't know, schizophrenic, and I don't know what else she called him at the end of that debate, I think it's fair - it's fair game.

I support security at the borders. I think security is enormously important in the post-September 11th period. I think we have to know who's coming into this country. We have to be able to identify them; we have to be able to figure out who they are.

Immigrants are exactly what America needs. They're what we need economically, and I think they're what we need morally... [They] revitalize America and get it back to its sense of confidence... All of these immigrants that come here help us with the work they do, they challenge us with new ideas and new perspectives, and they give us perspective...
