The reason we're in this economic mess is in part because of the tactics that he employed or the denial that consumed him before the virus.

You cannot spin a pandemic.

He is the leader of a government that is providing guidance to Americans about how they keep themselves safe, keep others safe and try and limit the spread of this virus.

I think the President, you know, the only math he does is division, but I don't think he is reading the math of this moment, right, as he is running for reelection because this country is much more united than he thinks.

Yes, if you look -- if you looked up racism and brutality in the dictionary, you'd find Frank Rizzo's picture. He brutalized his citizens, particularly his citizens of color and he celebrated that and ultimately ran for Mayor on that kind…

It's very hard to be the president of law and order, when you're holding a can of rhetorical kerosene in your hand.

It's completely absurd.

Clearly, it's not total, and as you pointed out earlier, you know, he was very -- he was very clear when he wanted to defend the seven governors who are allies of his who didn't impose stay-at-home orders, that he didn't feel it was his…

He has to be close enough so that this still looks like a horse race.

I think if he's going to get to where he wants to go, he better infuse his rhetoric with something more meaningful to people.

these young people have a sense of mission about things like climate change, about income inequality, about social justice.

It does create a sense of momentum. And what they're hoping for is that sense of momentum carries him forward.

If he did, he would basically put Biden out of the race or cripple him dramatically.

If he were to lose here, he's going to have to reconsider his race.

I do think that. I think he has so pointed to South Carolina as a place where he was going to have a good showing.

I think he's going to take a page from Biden here and hope it works better for him and say, I'm the guy who can beat Donald Trump.

I think the greatest challenge for him is that he has kind of reinvented himself for this race.

I think what the President's ultimate goal here is to muddy the waters about all of these convictions because I think we're headed for a pardon-palooza after the election.

I think that people rationalize their choices in these kinds of situations. But that's definitely one of the deciding factors, I think, for a lot of voters in this state.

But I -- you know, it's been interesting to see. He's been -- Klobuchar, Buttigieg, they've been reluctant to go right at Biden.

This is really most harmful to her. So I think that adds to the pressure that she faces.

This is a mortal issue for tens of millions of Americans.

If you don't pick me, it could be him. And he's not going to be able to beat Donald Trump because he's too far out on the left.

The most important thing is to beat Trump. I'm the guy who can beat Trump.

There are constitutionally shared powers here, that Congress does have responsibilities and they ought to be treated with respect.
