Politics can not only be drudgery and Captain Queeg with the balls in his hands.

I was discouraged when I read that [Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell said that Trans-Pacific Partnership was dead, but then I was told he turned around and said, "No, it's not."

People are frustrated. They're fed up. They don't think the government is working for them.

Somebody tells me no, they're not going to keep telling me no, because I'm going to bother them to the point where it's a lot easier for them to say yes than keep saying no.

I think the process of being hopeful, being really opportunity oriented, not just in rhetoric but in action, showing that no one get's left behind, not just by talking about it but by doing it, I think is really a key [to political success].

I try to keep what I say. And I - I'm not deviated from this position at all.

Everybody should have a chance to rise. That's our philosophy in Ohio and that's my philosophy for America.
