I would - if I were the Biden campaign, I would pay to have every American see the CPAC convention because the thing that has been thwarting Republicans in the midterms and since has been this impression of the Republican Party as an…

If Joe Biden wants to be the nominee of the Democratic Party, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party, because there is tremendous loyalty among a lot of the party to the president.
He is not good in front of a camera anymore. I mean, that's pretty clear.
I think Joe Biden is going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party.
That belies the fact of who Joe Biden is. Joe Biden is a guy who spent his whole life kind of coming up from nowhere to proving to people, you know, that he can -- that he's going to hack it.
He's clearly doing the job and you speak to people around him and they say that.
I think it would be very, very disruptive in this country. I think it will create a huge reaction and that worries me.
I suspect that whatever dilatory tactics that the Trump legal team can employ, they will continue to employ them because their goal is absolutely to push this case beyond the election.
it is stunning that three years after President Trump left the capital in disgrace, having sold this lie that the election had been stolen from him and having incited people to storm the Capitol, that he is in the position he's in and…
It would have been a blow if they did not endorse him. It was important for him to get that endorsement.
I admire her chutzpah and I admire your good use of Yiddish. I'm invigorated by that.
Donald Trump has habitually used these words to provoke his supporters and he has wielded it, David, many, many times. He has suggested that bad things will happen if he doesn't get his way, and sometimes bad things have happened.
You know, she might want to ask voters in New Hampshire if they want to end the campaign, because that effectively is what they'll do if they elect Donald Trump.
clearly he hasn't. In fact, the Town Hall last week was notable because it was the first time that he actually started drawing distinctions.
It's now very, very clear, if it wasn't clear before that Nikki Haley is probably the only person left who is going to challenge Trump and has a chance to beat him somewhere early, which is New Hampshire.
I think that Haley has some impetus to draw distinctions with Trump because we're about to go into a New Hampshire primary right after Monday, in which she and Trump are going to be the principal contenders.
There is no doubt that Nikki Haley is going to leave the state and go to New Hampshire and she is going to be the principal opponent to Donald Trump.
By the way, we should point out when he began his campaign, the presumption was he was going to win here in Iowa. And he's crafted his whole campaign with that in mind.
It is frightening to hear a president's lawyers make the argument that he can do virtually anything, including murder and then have immunity for it.
He thinks there's political value in showing up for the court because for his base, his aroused base, they believe that he's being persecuted and targeted for political reasons.
He wants an aroused base going into these caucuses, and he may believe that showing up at the courthouse today and emphasizing the things he's emphasized will help light that fire under that base to come out at the caucuses.
It is very important for Biden to be on the attack continually in this campaign and not just about democracy, but he should hold a clear lens up against what Trump's actual record was and remind people what those years were like.
I think that -- I don't think he's going to beat Donald Trump. I don't think anybody is going to beat Donald Trump.
I think this is a reflection of Trump's power within the party right now, because there is a cost they feel to going frontally after him.
