. “I don’t like the party. I don’t blame the party reputation for being low, but I think that if AOC wants to run for president and she gets the nominee, then God bless you, you are the leader of the Democratic Party.”

“I don’t think the party is in near as bad shape as it’s being portrayed to be,” he added.
