I'm a grinder....I've never taken more than a week off in my adult life. I truly believe work is a virtue, it gives you purpose.

I've always believed that if you support reform or you support a particular idea that you ought to fund that idea first and not the system.

Donald Trump is not a serious kind of candidate. We need someone that thinks this through. That can lead our country to safety and security.

Donald Trump is succeeding right now for sure. He is a gifted politician. But, he is just a gifted politician. He`s just a gifted politician that is appealing to people`s anger and frustration that is quite legitimate.

A third of our kids, after we spend more per student than any country in the world other than a couple rounding errors, 30 percent are college- and/or career-ready.

If we are going to compete in this world we're in today, there is no possible way we can do it with lowering expectations and dumbing down everything. Children are going to suffer and families' hearts are going to be broken that their kids won't be able to get a job in the 21st Century.

I think the lesson's learned are that we have to have to have a strategy to get and a strategy to get out. Which means, that you create a stable situation.
