Chris Murphy actually said...

"Americans want the Democratic Party to stand up and fight and to take risks."

"Senator Schumer certainly can lead this caucus. He can lead this caucus. But we need to have a conversation inside the caucus about whether we are willing to stand up to Republicans."

"I think Democrats in this country, but I think the broad middle of the public as well, want to see our party fighting in exceptional ways."

"But it would have sent a message that the Democratic Party is not going to be bullied by Donald Trump."
