With these rallies, we are staggering from one obscenity to the next, and it is very clear that the rally haven't helped him very much politically. His numbers have been going down since all this nonsense started.

He is obsessed with winning re-election. It's all about self-respect. It is whether he is going to be humiliated or not.

It's not just reckless, John, it's morally reckless. He is asking people to make a choice. I'm going to invite you to the White House, you want to come to the White House? You can see me -- see me talking. But you may put your health at…

I do think, John, increasingly, it becomes apparent that before people go to the polls on November 3rd, both Biden and Trump must come forward with their health records.

I think there's a lot of anger greeting this, this development. You know, three nights in a row, we've had people out there, you know, demonstrating and, and expressing, you know, their gratitude to RBG.

I think that Trump is shoring up his base. But Anderson, I must say, I think that this is going to in the long run, going to play in more in favor of Biden and the Democrats.

I think it makes it more likely that Joe Biden will win the election. It makes it more likely that the Democrats will take over the Senate.

Mitch McConnell has just thrown down the gauntlet, Anderson. I think we're going to have a titanic fight over this.

It will - it will change the equation in Joe Biden's favor, not the other way around.

It is so hypocritical that I think you're going to see that the Republicans will pay a price at the polls this November over this issue.

If it is true, it's a dishonorable act and voters have to this November decide whether they want to discharge him or not.

He is trying to delegitimize this election in all sorts of ways, we know that.

Trust in our institutions has plunged over the last 20, 30 years. It started before Donald Trump got to office, but he has accelerated the downward spiral.

Yes, absolutely, Anderson. And in fact, Democrats on the House side are starting on this and of course, Nancy Pelosi is pushing it within the confines of the badly run negotiations.

I think the President isn't in some degree of three fall and it is people are looking four other strategies he got out of this.

I think Joe Biden's in a much better position than Hillary Clinton was at this stage in the campaign.

Gavin Newsom is not going to allow Washington D.C. to tell him what - how his citizens should live, and how they should behave.

I think it's very clear that the President can have great influence on the states. You know, he issued guidelines, CDC issued guidelines, blessed by the President, and they did have an effect, but they were not orders.

The President today was talking about this is going to be the hardest decision - decision that he's going to make.

We need leadership now, at the Presidential level, that it matches the leadership we're seeing at the gubernatorial level.

If you -- but a lot of Americans are also going to judge him. I think he's teetering on the edge because of the complacency in the past, and letting this many precious weeks pass without urgent action.

I think they want Donald Trump to do some things, and I think he will get some points today for declaring a national emergency, making much more funds available.

Angela Merkel has said in the last 24 hours that as many as 70 percent of the people in her country of Germany could be infected before this is over. That's an astonishing number.

The worst thing you can do regarding what the senator said is at a serious, serious moment for the country that you engage in happy talk, that you oversell and under deliver and he will be held accountable for that politically in the…

I think he can do -- he's already starting to pick up some steam in places like Virginia.
