Obviously, I have been a pro-choice candidate for my entire political career, and obviously there is controversy always surrounding this issue.

We have had a lot of whistle-blowing going on out of the Department of Homeland Security, low morale. I want to make sure [John Francis Kelly] understands the agency he's stepping into. So I'll reserve judgment until after confirmation hearings.

The White House has something in common with the rest of America, and that is disdain for Congress. It is hard to blame them.

I just think it's weird that Donald Trump wants to be an executive producer of a TV show while he's President of the United States. I agree with Newt Gingrich. He doesn't have to do that.

I've been very independent from the day I arrived in Washington.

There's nothing that irritates Americans more than the fact that some members of Congress think they are entitled to their own set of rules. And it's true - too many people in Washington live in an alternate reality.

So it is the business community and agricultural community who I think might have the most influence on helping us make this effort more bipartisan.
