Most people don't get up thinking about the culture wars. You know, just like Andy said, they get up thinking about a better job. Are my kids going to have enough food on the table? We got a roof over our heads. Are they going to get a better education so that they can live better than I'm living? And that's what we concentrate on at the state level. And I would suggest that's what they ought to be concentrating on at the national level is forgetting all of this politics of hatred and nastiness
and fear and get together with each other and figure out common sense-wise how you make things happen, compromise, and move the country and our state forward. That's the way Andy's governed. That's the way I governed. That's the way you governed in Massachusetts. And it's successful because it's right. That's what people expect out of us. [MUSIC PLAYING]
