Just because you have a military that could kick everybody’s ass doesn’t necessarily mean that means you’re the best.”

“Had the president not come down here and stuck his nose into this race, I would be the winner. I will tell you right now. I’m not scared of the president of the United States. And I’m not scared to stand up against the president of the United States. We’re going to sit and think about what the way ahead is. I’m not scared. I am not. I think that we need a voice that is willing to actually say what needs to be said, and I think there are a lot of things that need to be said. This country’s not going down the right path. This country right now is going towards a path that should scare people. He is catering to the top 1 percent while absolutely turning his back on the bottom, the working class.”

“The Democrat that is a real Democrat, the Democrat that says, ‘Look, you’re a working-class citizen, and I respect you. I’m going to do everything in my power to protect you. I’m going to do everything in my power to fight to make sure you have a seat at the table.’ This is the blueprint. This is the blueprint for how we win across the United States of America. Everywhere. This is how you win in Middle America. It’s talking about picking the people that can relate to the people. Don’t talk about it. Be about it. Stand up for the working-class citizens. Stand up for our sick. Stand up for our veterans. Stand up for the elderly. Protect things like Social Security. Stop allowing people to stick their hands in the cookie jar. Create opportunities for people who live in poverty to elevate themselves out of poverty with a hand up, not a handout. That’s what being a Democrat is!”

“Look, Schumer and Waters and Pelosi, they are not in line with what the Democratic Party is supposed to be. The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party that looks out for the working-class citizens. That's what they do. We don't have that today. They're the party that believes that we got to take care of our elderly. We got to fight to protect Social Security. We got to take care of our sick. We need to give people a form of, nonaddictive form of pain management. We need to take care of our veterans. If I'm going to send you away and break you, I'm going to fix you when you come home. And we got to create opportunities for those who live in poverty that elevate themselves out of poverty with a hand up. I definitely do not see anyone doing that, and that's something that's got to change. That's what I believe a Democrat truly is, and that's why I will remain a Democrat, and I will always be a Democrat. ”
