Joe Biden

The American people are better than their leadership is now across the board. And we just have to give them a chance.

If you eliminated one single loophole call stepped up basis, there's a trillion and $340 billion of loopholes out there for the wealthy and for others.

It's the job they do that we have to begin to honor.

I found no distinction between being able to be progressive and worrying about working-class people, middle-class people.

The challenge is for us to step up and offer concrete answers, which we're doing.

I don't care about his political victory. That's not how I view politics, whether or not it's a personal victory or not.

I think the Democrats have to continue to make clear this should not be a bargaining chip. This is inappropriate to use these kids' lives as a way to get more money for A, B, C, or D, or any particular thing.

The American people overwhelmingly think the lives of these kids shouldn't be bargained for anything. Just do it. Either do it or don't do it, but don't bargain their lives for a wall or for funding for a program. That is not the American…

I'd Advise Pres. Trump Not to Talk to Mueller

We have to reclaim the essence of who we are as a country. We have to just get rid of this dangerous and, in terms of our security, dangerous notion of nationalism.

The idea we're using almost 2 million young lives -- these kids are Americans. Can you imagine 2 years old, mom, don't take me across the Rio Grande. I don't to go. It's illegal. Leave me here.

This president has spent his entire time since he's gotten in office trying to divide the country instead of unite the country.

What do you think they're thinking in Moscow? This is doing everything that Putin ever wanted, sowing doubt about whether or not our justice system is fair, sowing doubt about whether or not there is anything that's remotely consistent…

I do worry about damage. I worry about the full-throated attack -- this is the first president -- I've been here for eight presidents. This is the first president to make a full-throated, unvarnished attack on the entirety of the FBI, not…

This naked nationalism, that it's now us against them. As Richard Hough says there's three ways countries lose their ability to influence the world and lose their power, and one is abdicating that power. We're abdicating our responsibility…

I just marvel at some of the things he says and does, like, what, two days ago? Anybody who didn't stand up and clap for him was un-American and maybe even treasonous.

Well, look, it seems to me that I've been around for a long time. I got here during Nixon's impeachment, and it was Republicans who stood up and insisted that the constitution be honored and insisted that the president behave consistent…

And I went over, I guess the 12th, 13th time to Kyiv, and I was supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee.

If I were offered the nomination by the Lord Almighty right now today, I would say no, because we're not ready, the family is not ready.

I have no intention -- now, I've done nothing at all to put together any kind of operation to run.

But there's a lot of hope.

The only way there will be peace in the Mideast is for the Arabs to know there is no division between the U.S. and Israel.

Moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem will send the right signal, not a destructive signal.

We're going to have to work together. We're going to have to find common ground. We're going to have to be able to compromise.

I have the experience to do the job well and the judgment to make the right decisions for our country.
