The job of the transition, I'll say it again is twofold, unite the country and staff your government.

That's right, we have this bazaar situation where that Hillary got a lot more votes, Trump's going to be the president, legitimately.

Secretary Clinton's campaign said, we don't think there is fraud, but since someone else is pursuing a recount, we have an obligation to protect our interests and make sure it's fair.

The thing about political capital, though, is he should be gaining political capital from his appointments.

The whole reason I became a Democrat was because I care about ...

If the Democratic Party is not their voice and the voice of laid-off middle age white guys in mining towns and mill towns and manufacturing towns, what the hell use are we.

It's cost me a lot of sleep. I need, and others like me, to find a way to connect with these people.

The system is not rigged.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. The Democrats picked up seats in the House. Democrats picked up seats in the Senate. And yet, Republicans will control every lever of power in Washington.

It's not simply that Donald Trump won, but it is the way that he conducted himself in the campaign which inspired a lot of people to vote but inspired a lot of fear.

Cuba is way more complicated than it used to be.

It's a phenomenal accomplishment for the Hillary campaign.

I think I said on October 28th when you interviewed me, when this letter came out, that the damage for the e-mail problem had already been baked in.

I think her gap -- Hillary will -- will - -Hillary will do far better in the popular vote than Barack Obama did.

The Democrats are decrying efforts to suppress the vote. The Republicans are encouraging them. That's not the same, Kayleigh.

It boils down to motivation. Now, this thing is baked in. Republicans, that people for Trump, similar for independents. They love Donald Trump. People for Hillary, they love Hillary. And they hate each other.

In today's market, university of law school (ph), in Scott Walker's state of Wisconsin, the president's approval rating is 10 points higher than Scott Walker's.

He not only did not speak out. On July 22nd, he called a press conference asking of a hostile foreign power to commit cyberterrorism against Americans.

Hillary is the least popular least trusted major party nominee except for Donald Trump.

She was 10 points up and I said no way, this is a dead heat.

None of Trump's opponents are campaigning for him except Chris Christie who's, I think, trying to avoid testifying in court.

The president of the United States is wildly popular with the folks that Hillary needs. He's going to turn them out.

Trump has to pull an inside straight in order to win.

Hillary is now actually in a stronger position on this day of the election than Barack Obama was in the last election.

It's not a bombshell but it certainly doesn't help.
