"The potentially unrecoverable problem for the Republican Party is that we have so many candidates and so many leaders reflexively say they will support Donald Trump if he's the nominee. Some people who do that are clearly operating in the way that Republicans and Democrats have always operated. It's sort of like the Party Loyalty is, you're going to support the nominee of your party. When you know the potential is that the nominee of the party is going to be somebody who attempted to seize power and overturn an election, and do all of the things that we know Donald Trump did it it's not an acceptable answer to the question."

"There are far more who know what [Trump] is saying is a lie and who know the danger that he poses but who've decided that they're willing to look the other way in order not to offend him, in order to maintain their own political positions. We've seen this in other places around the world. Donald Trump's tactics are authoritarian and we know that authoritarians can't succeed alone they have to have enablers. They have to have collaborators."

"Trump is doing everything he can to delay this trial and its not just sort of the actions of a defendent that you normally see. This is because he wants to suppress the evidence because he knows the people who will testify against him aren't his political opponents. They're the people who know him best. It's people like his white house counsil and the leadership of the justice department and probably the Vice President... Trump does not want the American people to see that evidence to hear that evidence before they vote." - Liz Cheney
