There's less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you're dealing with.
I've never been called a man of few words.
If I can invent a phrase then this Democrat [Bernie] Sanders takes her [Hillary Clinton] off the hook on the emails. Could there still be an FBI indictment? Probably not.
I know what I believe, I know what I want to do, and I'm just comfortable saying it, and laying it out there.
It's a simple proposition to us: Everyone is entitled to adequate medical health care. If you call that a 'redistribution of income' -- well, so be it. I don't call it that. I call it just being fair -- giving the middle class taxpayers an even break that the wealthy have been getting.
To be an ally is a formal military alliance. And we have a formal military alliance in NATO. But we are partners with other countries all across the world. And they're - they will be a partner.
Apologized for saying Barack Obama was clean and articulate.
We have the greatest resource universities in the world, the only place in the world. We have the most productive workforce in the world. We have the most agile venture capitalists in the world. We have a situation where right now in the United States of America, we are near energy independent. North America is beginning to be the epicenter of energy. What is it that makes people think that this is not going to be the American century? I don't get it.
Don't be intimidated by power, wealth or station, character alone makes all the difference.
It's a problem that we [USA] think the Iranians are backing Hezbollah; the Iranians are backing terrorist activity in many parts of that region.
We can say, "if you want government money, you have to make this data public - you have to share it."
It is the most vicious of all crimes - to be abused by someone you had a relationship with! Because then you blame yourself.
I can die a happy man never having been president of the United States of America. But it doesn't mean I won't run.
Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive.
Well, we're [USA] not looking for an ally; what we're looking for is a stable, democratic government that is not beholden to anyone in the region and is able to be secure within its own borders and have its own policy.
I know I'm not supposed to like muscle cars, but I like muscle cars.
The spread of nuclear weapons is the greatest threat facing the country-and I would argue facing humanity.
People took the word "clean" out of context. My mother had an expression: "clean as a whistle, sharp as a tack." I inherited her originality.
After 9-11, the President had a historic opportunity to unite Americans and the world in common cause. Instead, by exploiting the politics of fear, instigating an optional war in Iraq before finishing a necessary war in Afghanistan and instituting policies on torture, detainees and domestic surveillance that fly in the face of our values and interests, President Bush divided Americans from each other and from the world.
The one place that David is equal to Goliath is in the Supreme Court.
Every other country where there's absolute chaos now, what is it? They're pluralistic without consensus. Look at almost every single country, from Syria, to Iraq, to Iran, Ukraine, no matter where it is. I just think it is totally counter to our tradition.
Would Colonel [Bernie] Sanders honeymoon in the Soviet Union?
I'm joking, I'm joking. Best decision I ever made.
The most powerful military in the world cannot invade, kill or capture a network or destroy every loose weapon on the planet. The best response to this network of terror is to build a network of our own -- a network of like-minded countries and organizations that pools resources, information, ideas, and power. Taking on the radical fundamentalists alone isn't necessary, it isn't smart, and it won't succeed.
I think after Sam Nunn left, I'm the last guy in the Senate who got a majority white male vote in their state.
