I am personally saddened and stunned by the tragic events that took place in Red Lake.

It was kind of interesting: [People] didn't really want to talk about it too much. And then after the election, it's kind of like they've been unleashed.

[Trade] was clearly a factor.That was a complete reversal of where things are normally at. Usually Republicans are all for free trade.

I don't know how you change that. There's hardly anybody left like me in the Democratic Party in Congress. These districts have been so gerrymandered that, in most of them, a Democrat can't win. Somebody like me trying to start off today, he'd never get endorsed. Because I'm too conservative.

[Rural voters] have a different view of the world than people do in these urban centers.

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

[People] don't like the government telling them what to do or telling them how to live their lives.
