President Trump

“I think President Trump, and I say this without any joy in my heart, I think he is a racist. I think the things that he’s been saying about the Latino community from way back when… the people from Mexico, whether they’re rapists and they’re criminals. You remember all of that stuff. It’s disgusting.”

“If I won the nomination, I would have defeated Donald Trump.”

“We need a candidate who can really defeat Trump. And all of the polling out there has me defeating Trump. Especially in battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and others.

Immigration policy

“We need comprehensive immigration reform, not terrorizing people. You got millions of people who are scared to death today. And we have got to end that and provide a path toward citizenship.”

Gun control

“You’re talking about an epidemic of mass shootings. It is a horror.”

“What we have got to do is pass common sense gun safety legislation which makes sure that people who should not own guns do not own those guns.”

“That means ending the gun show loophole. It means, in my view, getting rid of automatic weapons in the civilian population.” … “And we have to take on the N.R.A.” … (The N.R.A is) “now a right wing political force.”
