The speaker said there aren't the votes on the floor to re-open the government. Let me issue him a friendly challenge. Put it on the floor Monday or Tuesday. I would bet there are the votes to pass it.

Republicans have a problem. If they don’t pass immigration reform, they can say ‘adios’ to the White House in 2016.

[President Obama] made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be -- I shouldn't say this at Christmastime -- but the next messiah.

Today, unfortunately, the right to vote seems to have become a partisan issue. Democrats seek to guarantee and expand voting rights. Republicans try to undermine and suppress voting rights.

All political movements are like this: we are in the right, everyone else is in the wrong. The people on our own side who disagree with us are heretics, and they start becoming enemies. With it comes an absolute conviction of your own moral superiority. There's oversimplification in everything, and a terror of flexibility.

You can’t build a base for a candidacy in a year, or two years, or even four years. The only way to get candidates worth having is to build the social force that will create candidates worth having.

As goes Ohio, so goes the presidential race…We've got a full time field staff there now in Ohio. We’ve got full time offices now…This was something that, historically, unfortunately, our party's only been involved with during the last five months of a campaign. I think it's been terrible for our party. We've changed things at the RNC.
