“When you lose an election, you don’t blink, you don’t turn away. You look it right in the eye and say, why did we lose?”

I want to attract the best people into teaching.

Our job is going to be to hold Donald Trump and the Republican majority accountable.

When one has success, the answer is not to undo that success. It is to continue what has been done.

The currency bill we have would finally do something for China`s rapacious policies.

Republicans always try to paint Democrats as weak on defense. This time, they can’t. After all, Mitt Romney’s idea of an overseas accomplishment is sending U.S. jobs there.

What we are going to do as Democrats is put together a really strong platform that focuses on jobs and economic issues.

The only way we’re gonna work with Donald Trump is if he moves completely in our direction and abandons his Republican colleagues.

The greatest problem America faces is the decline of middle class incomes.

The only people who use them [so-called assault weapons] are mass murderers.

When the President starts talking about something, it makes a difference.

But I don’t think the Democratic Party is at eye level with the middle class.

When you run for president you have certain obligations. One of them would be to avoid even the appearance of conflicts of interest.

Bigotry has always been the poison of America, and we oughta do everything to eradicate it with no excuses or explanations.

I am deeply skeptical of trade deals in general.But the only way they can get a number of Democrats is by doing a strong real currency bill that goes after the worst of the trading partners, the one that`s stealing our high-end jobs.

All we ask for is registration, just like we do for cars.

It is essential that all Americans take the time to honor and remember those individuals who gave their lives in defense of our liberty.

Presidents are selected, not elected.

We’re going to make sure that the people who run for office and get elected are the ones who are going to work for the American people.

Mr. President, you were elected to lead. You chose to follow. And now it’s time for you to get out of the way.

A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.

Take it from me: Elections matter.

What we have, what we wish we had – ambitions fulfilled, ambitions disappointed, investments won, investments lost, elections won, elections lost – these things may occupy our attention, but they do not define us.

The future of the United States and the most important election in a generation, and he [Donald Trump] is trying to con people into giving them their vote, just like he conned these people into giving them their money.

Ninety eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It’s the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them.
