[My father ] came home from World War II and he voted for [Dwight] Eisenhower. He was pretty thoughtful about those things, but never, as I said, ever campaigned for anybody.

And once that's believed by working people, that it's serious and a commitment and you care about people like me, for a change, Republicans could create a new majority.
