Barbara Boxer: “It seems to me that we could do this and it does not do damage to our other discussion on Options 1 or 2.”

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.

The way the Senate works, as you know, it’s a supermajority to get anything done. It has nothing to do with age.

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.

Frankly, anyone who runs on that as an issue should be defeated, overwhelmingly by everybody.
