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

The export market is based, on high-paying jobs. I`ve seen statistics that show that people make over 88 a year generally benefit from this because these are export jobs.

I’m not sure we will have every single Democrat, but we want a large number of Republicans to be able to vote for this bill because we think that will encourage the House not only to move forward but to pass a bill.

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.

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 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.

Unprecedented crises demand unprecedented action.

It’s not too late to get out and vote or bring someone to the polls!

The election is not just about the economy, climate change, education and health care. This is about whether we retain American democracy.

A democracy cannot thrive where power remains unchecked and justice is reserved for a select few.

Real change never occurs from the top on down, [but] always from the bottom on up.

This is not just an election on the issues. This is an election on the future of American democracy.

The Democrats can engage in the most reprehensible, mean-spirited, vile, vicious verbal attacks known in politics, and they get praised for it.

Every now and then, it might be a good idea for Congress to listen to the American people, not just large corporations.
