I've heard [Bernie] Sanders comments, and it's really caused me to wonder who's left in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Under his definition, [Barack] Obama is not progressive because he took donations from Wall Street; [Joe] Biden is not progressive because she supported Keystone; [Jeanne] Shaheen is not progressive because she supports the trade pact. Even the late, great Paul Wellstone would not fit this definition because he voted for DOMA.

It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country [America].

We are out of the ditch, we're standing, we're walking, but we're not running. I want to grow the economy.

I think when you look at the letters that I get, a lot of people are worried that maybe they wouldn't have a place in Donald Trump's America.

Large corporations are amassing so much power in our economy. Sometimes it's called market concentration or even old-fashioned monopolies.

I think what President [Barack] Obama has done is to chart a steady course. When I was there, the first four years we had a lot of cleanup to do. We inherited a lot of bad feelings from the [George W.] Bush administration, and much of what I spent my time doing was traveling around the world reassuring friends and allies.

If we're going to be successful in taking on the billionaire class, we need a strong national grassroots movement.
