I have really got it into my head to try to be United States Senator, and, if I could have your support, my chances would be reasonably good.

If, however, you are not, then I should like to be remembered affectionately by you; and also to have you make a mark for me with the Anti-Nebraska members down your way.

Donald Trump always used to say, "Oh, what have you been doing for 30 years?" And I always found that kind of odd because you could Google it and find out. And, you know, I've been a lawyer and I've been a First Lady and I've been a senator and I've been secretary of state.

Carolyn Maloney identifies with the possibility of being raped, that's why she hung in there for the Debbie Smith Bill.
