American voters said that knowing how America works is more important than knowing how Washington works. And what we're going to see in the next few days is a Democrat saying that they're the party of change. You're going to hear Hillary…

But guess what they're doing in Washington? They're worrying, because they realize, the lobbyists and the politicians realize, that America now understands that Washington is broken.

I will not rest until Michigan has come back.
