You can't have a majority party in Minnesota or throughout the country without [support from] the people in these [rural] districts. Given the position [the Democratic Party] has taken, it's very hard to see how you can do that.

It appears to me that no one has learned a thing; that Wall Street is still operating as if 2008 never happened.

If everybody in our caucus had a 50/50 [Democrat/Republican] district, we'd have a lot different discussion. But if they have a 90 percent Democratic district, they don't ever talk to a Republican, they don't have to and they don't want to.

The [Democratic] party's become an urban party, and they don't get rural America. They don't get agriculture.

The banks run the place.

I fought NAFTA when it passed; it has been a big disaster for us, in my opinion. If we can renegotiate that, it would be wonderful.

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