Excuses are tools of the incompetent used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothingness

We do not want to keep our troops in Afghanistan. We see no military - we seek no military bases there. It is agonizing for America to lose our young men and women. It is costly and politically difficult to continue this conflict. We would gladly bring every single one of our troops home if we could be confident that there were not violent extremists in Afghanistan and now Pakistan determined to kill as many Americans as they possibly can.

Put simply, what I'd like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everybody's who is willing to work for it.

Of course, there's been a real debate about where to invest and where to cut, and I'm committed to working with members of both parties to cut our deficits and debt. But we can't simply cut our way to prosperity.

My abiding faith in the American people is undiminished. That's still what drives me every single day.

Even on health care what you've seen is a lot of stories surfacing lately about people who said, "Well, I voted for [Donald] Trump but I don't think he's really gonna take away my health care."

Sometimes people just feel as if we want to try something to see if we can shake things up.
