My purpose is, is to have progressive movements to where we're doing something, that helps the economy, that helps the people, helps security.

There's more people in the silent majority of the middle that have no voice whatsoever so they're forced to their respective corners, far Left and far Right.

This has been a tremendous win for the West Virginia.

It doesn't make it harder for me. I understand this is not the most honorable profession. It's a shame to say that.
