• Para que los demócratas ganen, tendrán que atender las necesidades de los trabajadores. Tendrán que atender las necesidades de la clase media. Y eso significa enfrentarse a Wall Street, a la avaricia de las empresas estadounidenses. Incluso ahora y entonces, plantar cara a los medios de comunicación. Y eso significa tener un candidato que pueda entusiasmar a las familias trabajadoras, entusiasmar a los jóvenes, atraerlos al proceso político, crear una gran afluencia de votantes.

• If there is a large voter turnout, not only do we retain the White House, but I think we regain the Senate. We win governors' chairs up and down the line. So I believe if you want to retain the White House, if you want to see Democrats do well across the board, I think our campaign is the one that creates the large voter turnout and helps us win.
