People have asked me over the last few years, what's given me the courage to stand up to this president and to this presidency? They've asked me if I worry about the insults that are flung my way by the Oval Office. Well, the answer is I don't worry about it at all. I'm happy to be something they jeer, because I've seen what they choose to cheer. As one question I've gotten a lot over the last few months, what's next? The answer is simple. I'm going to ask you to continue to hope, to wrap yourself in hope, in courage. We climbed one mountain tonight, but we are sitting at the base of another. We have a healthcare system that we need to break down to the studs and rebuild.
