We cannot deny that people are suffering, and they are making that suffering known at the ballot box.

When you win, you can afford to be gracious, you can afford to have a little more mercy.

Workers should have a right to sit across from management to collectively bargain about their work conditions, their wages, and the future direction of the company. To me, that's just a humane thing to do. It is unacceptable in the 21st century to have companies not want to do that with their employees and create a great work environment.

I would love to see more investment to help our veterans. Donald Trump is talking about investing in the military - I imagine he wants to invest on the war side, but what we really need is to take care of our veterans, and invest in the VA hospitals, provide better mental health treatment, and help them find housing. That is a stain on America for all of us - Republican and Democrat.

It's shameful that the elites basically have one-and-a-half political parties. Working class men and women have zero parties - or they have half a party. That's exactly what progressives are upset about.

We are going to have to do some real soul searching as a country and try to bring America together, because it is divided.

I stand for all people even if it causes me political heartburn - and I'm going to do that no matter what my future holds.
