Democrats are going to proudly run on the fact that we turned the economy around. It was our policies under President Obama's leadership through the Recovery Act, through investing in the automobile industry.

We will talk about the contrast between both parties' nominees and our desire to continue to build on our success in helping people reach the middle class.

Aren't we at the point where the closer we get to chaos, the more concern that there should be about coming to the table and compromising with Democrats? This is not leadership. This is almost like dictatorship.

I think Donald Trump has done everything he can to take us back to policies like we had during the McCarthy years.

Unfortunately, the Republican leadership in the House right now seems to have been strangled by the tea party.

When we took over the economy, we were losing 800 thousand jobs a month under the [George W.] Bush administration.

[Donald] Trump and all the Republicans believe in the theory of trickle down economics which is a theory discredited even by the author himself David Stockton. The theory suggests that if we take care of the people at the top, if we cut taxes for the wealthy, if we make sure they are doing really well, then the investments that they make in the economy and the jobs that will create, will make everything grow and it will have a trickle down effect on the rest of us.
