Barbara Boxer: “We can have the deepest divisions of opinion. This is America; that is what we are known for.”

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.

They've sold their soul, this party used to be called the Grand Old Party. And now it's a cowardly party of lies.

This is a sad moment, we always had two parties, one was to the right of center, one was to the left of center, and we never had a party, so extreme and so willing to become the party of grievance and anger and division.

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.
