People are saying that Donald Trump is above the rule of law, and that simply is not the case.

I am so distraught not as a Democrat, not as a South Carolinian, but just as an American today because the Republican Party has let the tenets of our democracy just fall at the wayside.

The fact of the matter is if Richard Nixon was President and Paul Ryan was the speaker of the House, then he probably would nominate Richard Nixon for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Our message is clear, we are fight for DACA, we are fighting for DREAMers, we are fighting for Americans, period.

We would not be here but for Stephen Miller.

DACA is a popular issue. This isn't something in which there is a divided spectrum in the United States.

I hope that Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party, Democratic caucus have some fortitude and stand up for DREAMers now because they may not have another opportunity to.

I really don't believe, although there are real lives in the balance. I do not believe that this has much effect when it comes to November elections.

Now is not the time to be a coward. Now is the time to stand up.

I think that one of the things that Donald Trump is having difficulty doing is understanding his past, understanding that many of us are not fooled by anything that he does today.

Democrats understand that Obamacare needs to be fixed. We understand that markets need to be stabilized. And while the White House wants to sabotage Obamacare, I'm hopeful that there will be a bipartisan fix with Murray/Alexander that…

Thank God, many Americans depend on this, need this. And in fact many people who are new enrollees into Obamacare actually live in Trump states.

What we do know is that individuals impersonated Black Lives Matter activists in places like Ferguson and Baltimore to sow discord.

The last thing he said nobody really believes, because we have had tax cuts before for corporations and it hasn't translated to wages growing.

I mean, this is not even a question. You know, for me, it's -- the travesty is that you've had a lot of people who put the policy and the party over the moral fabric of this country.

The reason that Democrats lose this race tonight would not be because of the African-American vote.

Roy Moore is a really bad candidate because of the things that he said, because of the xenophobia, because of the bigotry, because of the homophobia.

The question is whether or not he will get the number of college educated white voters he needs, particularly we need to look at Jefferson County, which is Birmingham and we also need to look at Huntsville.

One of the downside is that Barack Obama showed the country that you could win and get the 270 without going through the south.

African-American voters particularly black women are carrying the load for the Democratic Party.

Nobody stands up to the President of the United States. They make excuses for him.

One, he is very abusive of the tenets of democracy, or two, he's ignorant of how government works.

I think that Donald Trump believes that judges should be beholden to him. I think that he believes judges do have a D or R beside their name.

I think that now we recognized the importance thereof after the Kavanaugh hearings, we've seen what happens with Gorsuch.

I don't think that he chants 'lock her up' and I don't think he says that, you know, hope and change, praise god for Barack Obama.
