We have to enforce the individual mandate. We're losing a lot of money that is not coming into the system.

In the economy today, everybody understands that we need a well educated workforce. This is 2016. When we talk about public education, it can no longer be K through 12th grade. I do believe that public colleges and universities should be tuition free.

Let's be honest, dental care in America is extremely expensive, period.

In Germany, many other countries, college tuition is free. Why isn`t free in America? Why do we have the highest rate of childhood poverty when other countries have rates much lower than we have? Why don`t we have pay equity for women workers? Why aren`t we leading the world in transforming our energy system in terms of climate change? We can do that. Are we dumb? Are we lazy? Not the case.

What I saw in Baltimore was distressing and it tells me we need stronger policies in this country.

Politics does not end the day of the election.

I don't run against Hillary Clinton. I run on the most important issues facing America.
