It just seemed the timing of it was a little bit of pandering to the public at a time of an election.

A funny thing happened on the way to the election - I got to the Senate first.

When I first started campaigning, I was really excited. Two-thirds of the way through, I thought, 'Why am I doing this?' Then I got really excited when I realized I was going to win.

Let me tell you what changed my mind: it was when Donald Trump picked Mike Pence to be his running mate. I was convinced that Donald Trump knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew that was rounded out the ticket in many ways.

I didn't call for a ballot at the start of the miners' strike in 1984. I'll regret that until my dying day.

Any time you have loose ballots, you have to worry about shenanigans. It's a shame such a hard-fought election has to come down to something like this.

I may not be the favourite candidate of some people within the Republican establishment, but the voters made a decision.

People must not do things for fun. We are not here for fun. There is no reference to fun in any Act of Parliament.

Oftentimes during the period in which conventions really did business, you had situations where the delegates were divided and you would have ballot after ballot before there was a final nominee.

It was very constraining, much more than I ever would have thought, to run for governor.
