We Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is true, they’re getting older.

It's up to his colleagues to determine if they want such a coward, such a liar, to be their leader, and or maybe even speaker.
