If Judd Gregg resigns from the Senate, you have got 59 Senate Democrats right now.

Get rid of the filibuster, is nothing that as Brock Obama said, at John Lewis` funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of the slave owners. You got to get rid of it. It’s very, very bad.

I didn’t have success because of my good looks, or because I was a genius. I had success because I worked harder than anybody else.
