"The issue here is that the Democrat Party is overly controlled by the unions and by the trial lawyers – particularly the class action lawyers," he said. "And generally if you see something that is not in the interest of the people on the Democrat side, it's going to come because of unions – which is just another form of monopoly – and the trial lawyers."

他說:“現(xiàn)在的問題是，民主黨被工會和出庭律師——特別是集體訴訟律師——過度控制了。一般來說，如果你看到一些不符合民主黨人利益的事情，那是因為工會——這只是另一種形式的壟斷——和出庭律師。”
