At the risk of damaging the ‘First Take’ ratings, the God’s truth is I do not hate LeBron James. I actually like the man, who seems as close to being a role model as any superstar can be. He seems to be a good father and husband with a sharing, caring heart.

My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.
I don’t want to be equal to a man. We are different and are meant to be that way. Women are more resilient than men. I thrive on the difference between a man and a woman and love a well-behaved man opening doors for me and a certain amount of caring that happens.
People without children do have the freedom to do things that caring parents with dependent kids can’t – to work long hours, to travel frequently, to relocate, and to do all these things on short notice if necessary. In return, they can achieve positions that devoted parents can’t.

Part of the bigger problem with Donald Trump is, when you sit and talk to him one-on-one, he’s reasonable, he comes across as caring, he’s open-minded, but then, all of that just is thrown out the window when he tweets and when he communicates with the media – and when he communicates at all.

We have a long tradition in this state of caring for our neighbors – it is truly an Iowa value.
Whenever you see someone who’s having a rough day, it’s one thing to ask if they’re okay, because most people would just walk by.

Caring for veterans shouldn’t be a partisan issue. It should an American one.
