Well, the sugar guys have been dealing with NAFTA ever since it passed. Now we've got Mexico dumping sugar that's subsidized by the Mexican government into our market in violation of the World Trade Organization, because NAFTA gave them open access to our sugar market. They claim they're not subsidized, but the government owns half the industry in Mexico.

The only thing I can think to do is if the Democratic Party can do what the Republicans have done, which is go in there and take control of these legislatures and governors' areas.

I've tried to maintain my independence in Congress. Sometimes that has meant opposing my own party leaders.

It was clear that [the number] just kept growing, and there were no [Hillary] Clinton signs. People were fed up.

We [Democrats] have become a party of assembling all these different groups, the women's caucus and the black caucus and the Hispanic caucus and the lesbian-gay-transgender caucus and so forth, and that doesn't relate to people out in rural America.

There's no question that [Donald] Trump got elected because of rural America. And our party still is in denial. They don't get it.

I agree with [Donald] Trump: These trade agreements have not been good deals for America, and they need to be fixed.
