Barack Obama: “Ordinary citizens can grab the reins of history and that freedom will prevail.”

Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.

I think when we act on that basis, it doesn't always work out, but over time things do get better.

I’m going to insist that we can do better than we’re doing right now.
