I am a fan of the social policies that you find in Europe

I think I have this old-fashioned idea that when you are asking people to vote for you, it is kind of like a big job interview, and you oughta tell people what you think you can do for them. I think we can create more economic opportunity. I think we can improve education, make college affordable, deal with the myriad of issues that we confront.

There is no substitute for love and caring and compassion and human beings helping one another.

There is absolutely no disconnect between common sense gun safety measures and protecting the Second Amendment rights of gun owners.

Whether I am meant to or not, I challenge assumptions about women. I do make some people uncomfortable, which I'm well aware of, but that's just part of coming to grips with what I believe is still one of the most important pieces of unfinished business in human history - empowering women to be able to stand up for themselves.

I think we need to invest more in America.

I meet with people all day long.
