It was a very easy way to have a group of friends on a very large campus - a sense of identity. It was a great place to learn how to navigate a variety of personalities, which you kind of have to do in life. You've got the shy woman and you've got the obnoxious woman and you've got the brainiac and you've got the social climber and you've got the introvert and the extrovert, and you're all living together. I think it gave me valuable experience in learning how to live with people that are different than you are. And that's an important lesson. You can bet it comes in very handy in the Senate.

Mitch McConnell is a professional arm twister. He's done this for many years. He has a lot of power in his caucus.

Even though we know sexual assault is still dramatically underreported, I think women are much more empowered today than they used to be.

You can be a victim of a crime and not exercise great judgment. And when women have been sexually assaulted, they feel like they have to have been perfect in order to have anybody believe them. They think nobody will believe them unless a stranger jumped out from behind a bush with a knife - not that they got too drunk and that a guy they thought they knew, you know, took advantage of them in a physical, assaultive way.

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.

If every crime victim had to have perfect judgment, we could empty our prisons.

It's very hard from a distance to figure out who has lost their minds. One party, the other party, all of us, the president.
