Never Doubt That We Will Create This World, Because, My Friends, We Are Fortunate To Live In A Democracy, And In A Democracy, We Decide What's Possible.

I Have No Idea What Goes On In Another Person's Mind. As A Legislator, I Need To Be Good At Persuading People, Counting Votes And Getting To 50 Percent Plus One. I Don't Go Back And Say, 'why Did This Person Get To The Right Position?' It's Only, 'are You Yes Or Are You No?
