I think both parties have values that are offended when there's no redemption.

If Gillum wins, it's not just important for Florida, it's important for the Democratic Party.

This race is so important because it really is, it's a hand-picked kind of Trump person versus a very different vision of what a Democrat can do. This is a Democrat who is willing to be progressive, he is willing to be bold.

Across the country, there's a sense that, between the gerrymandering and voter suppression, that there's -- that the Republican Party is hostile to a fair vote.

I think now to see Trump out there doing that is frustrating for Democrats.

Most of the terrorists that we -- instances we've had in the United States are not being committed by Middle Eastern people, by Muslims, they're being committed by right wing extremists in our country.

I think it's much more likely that Donald Trump is paying for this than for George Soros to be paying for.

I don't think that makes a lot of sense. First of all, Democrats are having a hard enough time organizing inside the United States to do an election. This probably if anything hurts, because it raises this whole question, this whole…

I think the Trump White House needs to be put on trial for this spectacle.

I think one thing got answered this week. There are two superpowers in American politics. One is Donald Trump, and the other, the voice of women.

Without Obama on the ticket, Democrats lose. That is true. But I think that you now have a hunger in this party to hear forceful, passionate defense of our basic principles, and Obama's the best we've got.

You can't then say, listen, I want to be able to have a happy press conference about my happy topics and I'm going to be upset and throw a fit like a toddler because somebody asked me a hard question.
