Biden: “I just think people are so tired of the negativity that is propagated that they just — they just want to get engaged. They want to change things. And I’m optimistic. I really am.”

BERMAN: “People want to get engaged. I’m optimistic. I really am. And I think he also went on to say that he is seeing signs that people are starting to get engaged. Is he? Are there signs like that out there, Paul?”
BEGALA: “Oh, I think he is. Isaac’s report is important. I talked to the Democratic Party chairman in Wisconsin about 10 days ago, Ben Wikler, he is on this, in same way Isaac saw, I saw when I talked to Ben, and Democrats around the country. They should be desperately concerned about their declining support in a black community, especially with black men. They should be and are very concerned about declining enthusiasm among young people, and they’re working on it. See, that makes sense to me. Politician has a problem, politician working on the problem. Mr. Trump’s problem is that he is alienating those voters. He should be putting Nikki Haley on the ticket, not demonizing her and attacking her supporters. By the way, meanwhile Democrats are reaching out to Haley supporters and Haley donors to try to bring them into the tent. You know, it is — I guess, because it’s a day after Easter — there’s two kinds of churches, ones that down heretics and others that welcome and converts, right Biden seems to be the kind of politician wants to welcome in Congress. Mr. Trump is definitely somebody who’s gotten down heretics and that is politics of subtraction, not addition.”
