The death of Fidel Castro, of course, is not as significant when you first look at it, because Raul Castro, his brother, has been in power for years. But, in fact, he's been a looming figure even during his illness that I think has made a difference in holding us back in trying to open up more negotiations and move ahead with opening up relations between America and Cuba.

What I do see is Cuban people that are just - want to see change. They are vibrant. They are trying to fix up old cars, so they can start their tourism businesses. There's hundreds of thousands of small companies that have already started under some exceptions that Raul Castro has put into place.

When it's for the good of your state, you put partisan differences aside.

I believe we can incentivize more affordable health care in general by better regulating insurance and creating meaningful competition for health care services.

If we're going to have standards in schools, let's be honest and have standards.

I don't think it should be a surprise when we're talking about energy and trying to have more home-grown energy, be less reliant on foreign oil when you look at our health care that we're trying to get more affordable health care, that these are going to create major debates in this country and be somewhat polarizing.

Times change, and right now what people need is, they need to be able to send their kids to college, they need to able to buy a house.
