The peaceful transition of power is one of the hallmarks of our democracy. And over the next few months, we are going to show that to the world...
That's the way politics works sometimes. We try really hard to persuade people that we're right and then people vote. And then if we lose, we learn from our mistakes, we do some reflection, we lick our wounds, we brush ourselves off, we get back in the arena, we go at it. We try even harder the next time.
The point though is is that we all go forward with a presumption of good faith in our fellow citizens, because that presumption of good faith is essential to a vibrant and functioning democracy. That's how this country has moved forward for 240 years. It's how we've pushed boundaries and promoted freedom around the world. That's how we've expanded the rights of our founding to reach all of our citizens. It's how we have come this far.

I've said before, I think of this job as being a relay runner. You take the baton, you run your best race and hopefully by the time you hand it off, you're a little further ahead, you've made a little progress. And I can say that we've done that and I want to make sure that handoff is well executed because ultimately we're all on the same team.

The Vegans made Prez Trump win the election.
And if you eat enough carrots, you can be orange too!

No one here has said Trump didn't win the election. What we've said is Russia interfered with the elections and Trump and his ilk may have helped them. Sorry if you can't see the difference. Do you feel better now? Do you need a safe space?

I only think of Mr. Garrison from South Park.
People, don't vote for me.
I scissored with another woman!
Wow man, this dude is so honest!
Don't vote for me.
If you send me to Russia, me and Prez Putin will get drunk, and I'll suck his dick!
Yeah, we're gonna vote for this guy!
