Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University.

We are a nation of immigrants. We are the children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the ones who wanted a better life, the driven ones, the ones who woke up at night hearing that voice telling them that life in that place called America could be better.

My mom and dad gave their kids the greatest gift of all - the gift of unconditional love. They cared deeply about who we would be, and much less about what we would do.

I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love.

Education is the investment our generation makes in the future.

Leadership - leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.

The Russians are clearly a big adversary, and they demonstrated it by trying to mess around in our election.

The Senate is not the sort of place where instant gratification, I should say, is very likely.

My first memory in life was my last visit to Warm Springs.

We all got here from somewhere else going back in our lineage. And I think these gratuitous attacks on Americans who got here recently or whose parents got here recently need to stop.

The implication here is that those who came to America legally over the years are somehow second-class citizens.

My wife came here at age 8 not speaking a word of English and ended up in the president's Cabinet.

I'm optimistic that none of my members in the end want to be responsible for the status quo on Obamacare.

The American people gave us a new majority in 2014.

The border is way more porous than it should be, and I think we'd be open to discussing anything that enhances border security.

Do we need to tighten restrictions on people coming into the country? I think there's a good argument for that, but a kind of broad ban is a bad idea, and, of course, many American Muslims are great sources of information as we seek to look for domestic folks who might be engaged in trying to promote terrorist activities.
