Bernie Sanders

I intend to be in every corner of this country to make certain that happens.

Hillary Clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths.

This campaign is about moving the United States toward universal health care!

Hillary Clinton will make an outstanding president and I am proud to stand with her today!

My colleague from Vermont makes a very, very important point. In Vermont, this issue was seriously discussed. Over 50 hearings were held, with different points of view and objections being raised. I would ask my colleague, just to confirm…

My colleague from Vermont is absolutely correct. In Vermont, there was a lot of discussion, and there were a number of hearings, but not here in the U.S. Senate.

I believe I have the floor. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, if I may, I think we have explained this to everybody over and over again. Let me try again. The Roberts amendment that I will offer is a complete--a complete-- substitute for the…

No, I really won't yield. My request is that that language be withdrawn now with unanimous consent.

Thank you very much. I ask that that language be withdrawn right now. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, would the Senator yield? I think I can clear up his concern.

So it means, or it certainly could mean, the closing down of schools, nutrition programs, and health care in order to fund-- and I cannot for the life of me understand how a seven-member committee can spend $370 million, but this will be…

I ask my friend from New Jersey--there is a very strong difference of opinion in the Senate and in the House about economic issues. Many of our Republican friends think trickle-down economics-- giving tax breaks to the wealthy, cutting…

I have a question. It is a long question, but I certainly want my friend from New Jersey to respond to that question. I ask my colleague from New Jersey, is this legislation smacking of the worst form of colonialism, in the sense that it…

As we move away from the broken No Child Left Behind Act it is essential that in implementing the Every Student Succeeds Act that we do not repeat the same test and punish approach.

It is of the utmost importance that implementation of ESSA reflect congressional intent and the public desire to break away from the overly prescriptive, one-size-fits-all NCLB.

I supported the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) because it continues the civil rights mission of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.

I thank Mr. Enzi and join him in commending Mr. Weiner for his many years of dedicated and outstanding service to CBO, the Congress, and the American people. Through his diligence and hard work, he has more than earned additional time for…

We need to dramatically increase Federal funding for child care and early learning programs like those provided through CCDBG.

Today, in America, that is simply not the case. Forty percent of all families lack a regular child care arrangement.

It should be a guarantee that our Nation provides a high-quality continuum of care and learning from infancy to Kindergarten entry and beyond.

Our Nation needs a revolution in child care and early learning.

Needless to say, I am going to do everything in my power and I will work as hard as I can to make sure that Donald Trump does not become president of the United States.

I do think that coming out of the convention, whoever is the nominee, that we are going to have a purpose that unites us. And that is to defeat Donald Trump.

If I win tomorrow in California, if we do very well, and I don't know that we will. We may. If we do well in other states, if there are super delegates out there who say, you know what, looking at the objective evidence of polling, looking…

Let's assess where we are after tomorrow before we make statements base on speculation.

We must invest in jobs and education, not jails and incarceration.
