There's a huge difference in the attitude of the people of the United States of America toward women in politics. It has taken an enormous turn toward equality.

The difference between the very wealthy and the working poor has grown. We raise that minimum wage and we move forward with the vision of this president that we have, which is everyone pays their fair share.

I've been there for so many crossroads in American history. My whole political life spans the birth of the environmental movement, the women's movement, the civil rights movement, putting an end to unjust wars, and so and so.

If I can make a generalization, men get into politics because, from the time they're little boys, they've been wanting to be President.

If we turn our back on the people of this country who need to work for a living, we shouldn't be here, to be honest, because that has to be an essential part of what we do to protect the country, from the standpoint of defense, protect workers and make sure they have jobs.

You have to be an optimist to be in politics.

I think we have to stop using the expression "alt-right." It's ridiculous. It's racist, fascist, nationalist.
