[Hillary Clinton] supports now a hike in the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Prior to that, she did not support that. Other issues that you could see, at least in the Democratic Party platform, they're there entirely because of the [Bernie] Sanders movement.

There is no question that, if you look at name recognition and celebrity, my opponent is far-and-away ahead. I think that if you put my beliefs in one column and her positions in another column, I am almost convinced that a majority of the people in the Democratic Party would support my beliefs.

You can hope and wish and pray that those things are legitimate conversions and that [Hillary Clinton] now is a different candidate, a person with a different philosophy. That's something that, you know, sometimes, yes, it's hard to believe.

I want to say that even - and Bernie said this many, many times - in several of the actual public debates, she said on her worst day, Hillary Clinton's a thousand times better than Donald Trump. And Donald Trump, in my view, is a threat to the nation.

I do think that we may be looking at a period in the next few years where the two-party system will fracture.

Most people feel very strongly that Donald Trump is a threat to the nation. He must be defeated.

I joke that if she [Debbie Wasserman Schultz] could find a 3 a.m. slot in the Home Shopping Network, she would grab that. So those emails only confirm what we knew.
