I am confident that just as a America`s commitment to the transatlantic alliance has endured for seven decades, whether it`s been under a Democratic or Republican administration, that commitment will continue including our pledge and our treaty obligation to defend every ally.

The incompetence of the [Donald] Trump transition team, the likes of which we`ve never seen is a bad thing.

That`s why somebody like a Tim Ryan can go to a bar in Youngstown just as well as in Congress and talk to working people. Democrats know how to carry the message. We just have to take some telephone new voices and bring them forward.

In pre-Trump Washington where the old rules applied, Rudy Giuliani could never survive the Senate confirmation process.

Safety concerns are reasonable. Banning refugees is certainly not.

We know what we believe and we`ll come back and win or not if we sit back.

Rudy Giuliani needed to feel safe because he turned his life into a public mess. A public mess that the "New York Tabloids" covered daily.
