Joe Biden

What a president says matters. Like I said, our kids are listening, but the public is going to listen too.

The fact of the matter I might guess is he'd be calling for -- anyway.

I think he's beholding to his base.

There's a movement occurring in America where finally I think going to get to the place where there's a rational position on gun ownership.

The vast majority of the American people think that there should be rational gun policy.

The world has changed since Obama, and here's the deal. He changed the dialogue. He changed the whole question. He changed what was going on. And the idea that somehow it's comparable to what this guy is doing is absolutely bizarre.

I'm running for president to restore the soul of this country.

We need to ensure that every American has access to affordable childcare. It's time to support working families.

We need to ensure that every American has access to affordable housing. Housing is a basic human need.

We need to ensure that every American has access to quality education. Education is the key to success.

Leadership is about telling the truth, even when it's tough.

The president just doesn't seem to be able to do it. He can't stop personalizing everything.

I think we have to be a country that is welcoming to refugees and immigrants, but we also have to have secure borders and we need to enforce our laws.

We need to restore the promise of America, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their dreams and reach their full potential.
