• The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.
• Giving someone a one-time stimulus check, or a one-time tax cut that expires doesn't allow the predictability that business needs.
• I don't think I'm really open to having Washington change me.
• What I've always said is that I'm opposed to institutional racism, and I would've, had I've been alive at the time, I think, had the courage to march with Martin Luther King to overturn institutional racism, and I see no place in our society for institutional racism.
• I think my dad has helped me tremendously.
