Democratic presidential debate.”

“Sometimes there are issues that are bigger than politics

and I think that’s the case with this impeachment inquiry.”

“In my judgment, Trump is the most

corrupt president in the history of this country.”

“He has committed crimes in plain sight.

And he has consistently since he won

been selling out the American people.

He’s been selling out working people, he’s been selling out

our values, he’s been selling out national security,

and on this issue with Ukraine

he has been selling out our democracy.”

“If it’s not O.K. for a president’s family

to be involved in foreign businesses,

why was it O.K. for your son when you were vice president?

Vice President Biden?”

“Look, my son did nothing wrong.

I did nothing wrong.

Rudy Giuliani, the president and his thugs

have already proven that they in fact are flat lying.”

“Your son Hunter today gave an interview,

admitted that he made a mistake and showed

poor judgment by serving on that board in Ukraine.

Did you make a mistake by letting him?

You were the point person on Ukraine at the time.

If you can answer.”

“Look, my son’s statement speaks for itself.

My son made a judgment.

I’m proud of the judgment he made.

I’m proud of what he had to say.

And let’s focus on this:

The fact of the matter is that this

is about Trump’s corruption.”

“But you have not specified how you’re

going to pay for the most expensive plan,

Medicare for all.

Will you raise taxes?”

“Costs will go up for the wealthy.

They will go up for big corporations.

And for middle class families, they will go down.

I will not sign a bill into law

that does not lower costs for middle-class families.”

“Your signature, senator, is to have a plan for everything.

Except this.

No plan has been laid out to explain how

a multi-trillion dollar hole in this Medicare for all plan

that Senator Warren is putting forward

is supposed to get filled in.”

“At least Bernie is being honest here and saying how

he’s going to pay for this

and that taxes are going to go up.

And I’m sorry, Elizabeth,

but you have not said that.

And I’m tired of hearing, whenever I say these things,

‘Oh it’s Republican talking points.’

You are making Republican talking points right now

in this room by coming out for a plan that’s

going to do that.”

“I think we need to be focused on lifting people up.

And sometimes I think that Senator Warren

is more focused on being punitive

or pitting some part of the country against the other

instead of lifting people up and making sure

this country comes together.”

“I’m really shocked at the notion

that anyone thinks I’m punitive.

Look, I don’t have a beef with billionaires ...”

“Well, Anderson, this is my first time on this stage,

so I just want to start by reminding everybody

that every candidate here is more decent, more coherent

and more patriotic than the criminal in the White House.”

“This is the sixth debate we have had

in this presidential cycle

and not nearly one word, with all of these discussions

about health care, on women’s access

to reproductive health care, which is under full-on attack

in America today.

Women are the majority of the population in this country.

People need to keep their hands off of women’s bodies

and let women make the decisions

about their own lives.”

“Thank you, senator.”

“And let’s talk about that.”
