If people envisage me in the Senate they might think of me as someone who would emulate Paul Wellstone, fighting for the issues he fought for. He was a good friend of mine.

For some reason, we can't go to Cuba, businesses in American can't do business in Cuba. I think that that is stupid.

We do not want to continue the attacks against the women.
