Robert Gibbs: “I think Democrats have to show the country were capable and willing and able to govern.”

Why did we depend on Donald Trump to be the one and only boogeyman, the only thing we had to run a campaign against?

I think Democrats and Republicans will get an agreement on this. It`s not in anybody`s interest to fight out the government shutdown at this point.

Look, I think Democrats had an awful night. And I think there’s no real sugarcoating that on a lot of different levels.

I think it`s things like that working on gas prices, trying to keep them low, cost of living kitchen table issues, doing not just telling, I think is what is going to get this White House back on track seven months before an election.
