On Obamacare, every day that goes by I have more evidence that I wish I could put in my book, on how difficult it is for the Republicans to eliminate this law. They have no real alternative. They're afraid to take away health care from the 20 million people who now have it.

At best, Trumpism will be a more right-wing version of the same old Republican Party.

I don't think the Democrats need a silver bullet.

Trump's not the future; his ideas and his coalition are a dead end.

In public, Barack Obama's giving the simple version of his beliefs for the mass public. In private, he can discuss it at a really high level.

President Obama is so much smarter and a better communicator than members of Congress in either party. The contrast, side by side, is almost ridiculous.

We're not going to be living in a world where white identity politics is the basis for a major political party.
