EXCERPT:
MEACHAM: “So, as you said the other night, the choice cannot be clearer. It just can't. I don't know how it could. And what a lot of -- the people who are kind of on the bubble here, who are going to decide this in many ways, are people who have to say and who are in their mind saying, 'Yeah, Trump may be crazy, but she's a socialist,' or whatever the but is to get to where they want to get, because they want to get to voting for -- they want to get to voting against Democrats, right? That -- that's -- and any -- any justification, you're going to grab anything on your way to try to get there. To me, the choice is, yes, he is an authoritarian figure. And just because it didn't work last time doesn't mean it won't work this time.”
