"You remind me, Erin, there was a Republican convention last week, and I remember it. So it's been a long time, but I remember Trump talking about unity."

"What he is doing tonight is a completely unnatural act in our politics. He's at the pinnacle of power and he's walking away from it."

"And that is something to celebrate. You know, George Washington did the same thing. He left. People wanted him to run, but he knew it was time."

"The thing that's important is, do we defeat Donald Trump? That is what is important and what gives you the best chance to defeat Donald Trump."
