Go home. Go back to Mara-a-Lago, look, we'll come help you pack.

We need to stop coddling stupid. We need to stop pretending like these people actually matter in this process.

If Donald Trump wants to be president of the United States, shut this crap down, figure out what you did wrong.

It is tearing at the foundations of the country. It is serious. What you're seeing is a protracted effort to steal an election that was won by Joe Biden, that was voted on, and the decision decided by the American people.

But our republic is stronger than Donald Trump. And, on January 20, Joe Biden will be -- I repeat -- will be the next president of the United States, and he will be certified as such by the Electoral College next Monday, Mr. Trump.

This is not a complicated metric here. This is not some secret formula that we're all in the backroom kind of making up and just sort of putting out in dribs and drabs.

If you're in Georgia, go to Stacey Abrams website and do what she tells you to do.

Donald Trump right now, Joy, is raising money at a faster rate to sort of -- to steal the election than he did when he was trying to win the election.

The grift is on, baby. It is just on. You need to understand it. And if anybody wants to be a sucker and send their dollar to Donald Trump for his recount effort, you all just suckers, because it ain't going into no recount, it's going…

We know that a federal pardon is in play. And at the center of any pardon in this country is the president of the United States.

Trump's problem, he may be able to escape the federal hook... His problem is what he did in his business. It's what he's done with his taxes or failed to do.

But they got re-elected and they picked up eleven seats. So somebody saw something they like.

Would you go -- would you -- how do you go to battle with an Ocasio-Cortez, at some point when she turns to the moderate or the conservative, Democrats next to your doors.

This is the reality that we're in right now. Trump handpicked these lawyers through Rudy Giuliani. He knows exactly who is on his legal team.

That's the problem with the nature of our politics today. And in the many respects, Donald Trump exposed that distortion in our politics.

I'm not going to sit here and decide who should or should not be a Republican, or who should or shouldn't be inside the party.

Because of Trump's leadership and record, he was breaking with his party to endorse Joe Biden.

The Biden operation needs to move forward and do its best efforts at putting together a transition. And the rest of us can get ready for hunkering down to the long winter of COVID-19, because we're going to be doing it yet alone without…

There aren't enough Republicans to make up 72 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump.

It was to the Constitution, not to Donald Trump.

And for a party that decided to put it -- to put all at all and own it stock, its investment, his future in Donald Trump, we rejected that, because that's not the country. And that's not who we are.

Well, I'll stop by saying that I'm still a Republican, very proud one. And as I mentioned to Vice President Biden, and I'll say to my friends here on this, that I look forward to doing the tango over big policy issues when we disagree, and…

First of all, I think 270 plus looks very good for Joe right now. I mean, he is -- as Robert said, he's got so many lanes in front of him to really kind of lay down the tracks he needs to get across the finish line, and to begin…

Texas has always been our bright blue wall staring us right in the face that we just ignored.

So, Joy, I'm not surprised by the closing argument because when you have not made a case to the American people for your re-election, what else do you say?
