Social security has enabled people to retire with dignity and overwhelmingly not be in poverty. We have to keep it solvent.

You [Republicans] are not going to cut taxes. You're going to raise taxes on the middle class.

I'm really, really worried about the Trump team, and I want people on the team who I think are adults who have judgment and won't do anything stupid.

I do think the president's best role is usually as the sort of initiator.

Ronald Reagan said something really interesting about nuclear proliferation back in the 1980s. He said the problem with nuclear proliferation is some fool or maniac could trigger a catastrophic event and I think that Donald Trump is exactly who governor Reagan warned about.

The national security issues are very important for two reasons. First, because everybody knows that we want to be safe. But, secondly, people see these issues as probably the clearest window into somebody's temperament, their judgment, whether they're steady or volatile.

I worry that a Trump presidency doesn't show the true face of America to the world, but I think that peaceful protest all around this country, it showed to the world who we really are.
