Raphael Warnock

Democrats and Republicans used to fight over issues of principle and ideas.

Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, be honest, what is the acid test of whether you are part of them or not, inside or outside?

It is your relationship to one man.

I actually wish we had a party, some honest brokers with which to have some adult conversations about the way forward in our country.

It's a purple state, so you got to convince all kinds of people to vote for you.

I did it five times in Georgia in less than three years.

It's doable.

There's a kind of moral rot that's eating away at the fabric of our country.

It's all the way from the White House on down.

And you're seeing this infection.

and its impact in negative ways.

Everyday people know

that the system is stacked against them.

They know it in their bones and they don't always have the words that we want to use.

They feel it.

Yeah, I think that's the thing.

Do people feel empowered to change it?

And I do think that there are a lot of people who feel powerless

which is why they signed up for Donald Trump.

There are people, and I do think it's overstated, Donald Trump didn't have this whole huge slew of Black men voting for them.
