The relationship that we have with Russia is solely because of Putin. What he's done is an affront to the American people to try to have an effect on the election outcomes here. It had to be spoken to. I think we did it in a very appropriate manner. I'm proud of the legislation.

I'm a lawmaker, but I really don't like laws.

I find it very difficult to see a scenario where financial regulation doesn't pass the Senate.

I want to see the economy rebound.

I was embarrassed when I went and told my parents that I was thinking about running for public office.

When Donald Trump's term is over, I think, the debasing of the American nation - the constant non-truth-telling, the name-calling - the debasement of our nation will be what he will be remembered most for. And that's regretful, and it affects young people. We have young people who for the fist time are watching a President stating absolute non-truths, non-stop, personalizing things in the way that he does. And it's very sad for our nation.

Not every problem is solvable, okay.
