On Free Trade: Tariffs hurt farmers; let's work to open up markets

We have to do everything we can to make our farms and ranches viable. I was talking to someone in Iowa two weeks ago, lost $147,000 last year. Not only do they have the financial hit but we're going to lose markets. The way the Trump administration's approached this, the blunt instrument of tariffs, isn't working. We've always made sure that we have open access to markets not by going alone but by going with other partners across the world and doing everything we can to open up markets.

On Free Trade: Trump has turned "America First" into "America Alone"

We're going to lose markets. The way that the Trump administration's approached this is just sort of the blunt instrument of tariffs isn't working. I think he's kind of turned "America first" into "America alone." We've always made sure that we have open access to markets not by going alone but by going with other partners across the world and doing everything we can to open up markets.

On Government Reform: Elections should be decided by people, not corporations

I was attorney general when Citizens United decision came up and I've done more to try to make sure that elections are decided by people not corporations than anybody else in this field. Fundamentally, we got to get the economy working for all of us not just the Donald Trumps of the world and we have to make sure that people believe that their vote and their voice matters.
