“The status quo in Washington has fought us every step of the way…They engineered a strategy of gridlock in Congress..and what they’re counting on now is that you’re going to be so fed up… that you’ll give up.. and put them back in power. They’re betting on cynicism…My bet is on you…
If the price of peace in Washington is cutting deals that will kick students off financial aid.. or let insurance companies discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions — I’m not going with that. That’s too high a price to pay. That’s not bipartisanship. That’s not change. That’s just surrendering to the same status quo… I’m not ready to give up on the fight.”
