I think if we're looking at lasting peace in the Middle East, the United States has got to respect the needs of the Palestinian people. They cannot be pushed aside.

I'm not that much of a socialist compared to Eisenhower.

The problems we face, did not come down from the heavens. They are made, they are made by bad human decisions, and good human decisions can change them.

The United States has more people living in poverty than at almost any time in the modern history of our country. I believe that in a democratic, civilized society none of our people should be hungry or living in desperation. We need to expand Social Security, not cut it. We need to increase funding for nutrition programs, not cut them.

In my view, we need a massive federal jobs program which puts millions of our people back to work. We must end our disastrous trade policies. We need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. And we have to fight for pay equity for women.

I think Donald Trump understood that there are many millions of people in America, the working middle class, who are really hurting. They are in pain.

In America, we have lost millions of decent-paying jobs. That has got to end.
