Sunday

There was a very skillful pivot in that conversation that politicians should learn. (04:04 in the vid)

The interviewer framed a question in a "trappy" sort of way, asking him if hatred of Trump is the only thing uniting the Democratic party.

He replied, "If I thought that were true, I would, but I don't think it's true." Then he went on to explain why. He's still sharp as a tack.
