My party needs to understand that business is not a bad word - especially when it has the word 'small' before it.

The career politicians down in Washington don't want to be held accountable.

I come from a background in the military where everyone had health care. We understood the value of education as a given. You learn a skill, earn a pension and go on to 'Be all that you can be'... You invest in people. You hold people accountable.

Yes, I'll stand up to the party if they're wrong and they aren't going the right way for people in Pennsylvania. But I do believe in Democratic principles.

If you took money out of politics, you'd solve 80 percent of all the problems.

A comprehensive approach to a two-state solution is not just, we believe, in Israel's interest. It's in our interest.

It's like I learned in the military: the officers always ate last. When you're responsible for people, that's how it should be.

People don't trust party leaders.

Economic mobility will fix income inequality.

The Democratic Party isn't any good unless they know it's about people!

What people in Washington worry about - they forget about the people. They forget the mission.

Trade is part of our national security.

I fought for the rule of law in America.

I'm not beholden to one party or any special interests.

I don't want to be president if I have to win by outrage. I don't want to just win. I want to govern, and not just by executive order.

I understand the challenge with student loans. But what about the labor force, the enlisted men and women, so to speak, of ships. Those who work with their hands and their minds. We need to do what we do in the military, is we train and retrain.

Your U.S. military has the best child care in the nation. Full, paid family and medical leave benefits. Why aren't we doing that to empower our workforce?

To be productive and focused, the rugged individuals in our economy need health security so that our country can remain competitive and agile in the changing economy.

Certainly, the JCPOA was not a perfect agreement. It did not deal with the threat from Iranian missiles, or their support for violent extremism. And it contains a 'sunset clause,' meaning it expires after a decade. But it was accomplishing the one goal it set out to achieve: stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Collectively, we must find points of leverage in order to convince China to improve their treatment of Uighurs, Tibetans, and other minority groups, to ensure the autonomy of Hong Kong, and to continue to protect democracy in Taiwan, among other issues.

Human rights in China should absolutely play a role in broader U.S. policy toward China. When we look the other way on fundamental issues of human rights, we are also responsible.

We can improve the military at less cost and with increased capability. It's not acceptable to keep investing in structure when we would be wiser to invest in dominating the new warfare domain of cyberspace.

We were rugged individualists in the Navy, but we all had health care.

There are too many who have not shared in the benefits of this economy.
