I'm not a Democrat, I'm an Independent, but I caucus with the Democrats.

People have a right to give a speech. And people have a right to protest. But I'm not a great fan of disrupting people's speeches.

Sometimes the media says, well, this state had an election, it's the end of the campaign. It is not. We have dozens of more states to go. We're feeling good about the future.

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.
