thinking littles bits
I think ... that things are a little bit up for grabs right now...
wise believe president
I believe that President Clinton considered the legal merits of the arguments for the pardon as he understood them, and he rendered his judgment, wise or unwise, on the merits.
resignation
Resignation is just simply out of the question...
medicine today way
If medicine was practiced in 1965 the way it's practiced today, there's no question that prescriptions would have been included in Medicare.
teacher home thinking
Realistically, I think we are not prepared to go home until we do get more teachers and lower class sizes...
thinking usa people
I think that what we've been able to do is put together both a good group of scholars and analysts and people who aggressively want to make the case to the American public.
thinking rose political
This tough-love, winner-take-all narrative dominating policymaking is far too limited a way to think about how a complex, modern, diverse economy like ours expands and thrives. The strongest periods of economic growth in the 20th century were also times when incomes rose across the board.
new-york thinking yesterday
I think if you look at yesterday's New York Times poll, particularly when you judge Democrats in Congress versus the Republicans in Congress, people put a little more faith, or even a little more than a little more faith in the Democrats in Congress.
thinking ideas order
I think that people have to have to have a sense of what ideas are one the progressive side, the Democratic side in order ultimately to be effective in the political world.
law people answers
The American people have the right to know and understand the laws they live under. And they tend to demand answers sooner or later.
thinking issues people
Ultimately I think what people care about, particularly on an issue like Social Security, is not really what's right and what's left but what's right and what's wrong.
real thinking people
So I think it's important to communicate with the people in terms of what the real facts are on these proposals and try to have a discussion and a dialogue that gives people information. I think they're hungry for that rather than just political rhetoric.
thinking swings people
So I think in those circumstances, there's some potential that you could see a big pendulum swing like 1994, which people you thought weren't vulnerable all of the sudden get in trouble.
thinking good-relationship frustrated
I have great respect for Bernie Sanders, there was a moment where he opposed the Paris Deal... I was frustrated with him, but he and I have a very good relationship... and I have great affection for him, but I do think when he criticized the Paris agreement, I didn't think it was the right position.
