Obama: ‘I’ll Have a Democratic Successor’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

UNKNOWN MALE: "Thank you, Mr. President. You mentioned climate change already. At the time of the signing of the deal in Paris, you said it was potentially a turning point for the world. This was a deal that's not a legally binding document. And you bypassed Congress pretty much completely. Are you worried at this point that a Republican president who might take other from you in the White House could stop the deal nits tracks entirely and considering that possibility, are you more interested in campaigning for a democratic nominee, considering that danger?"

OBAMA: "I think it's fair to say I was going to be campaigning for a Democratic nominee even without that danger. I'm very confident that we're going to have a terrorism democratic nominee and -- whose phone is that, guys? You recognize your ring tone, don't be embarrassed, just turn it off. There you go. Ok. Can I still hear it? I think it's off now. I think we will have a strong democratic nominee. Thing Democratic nominee will win, I think I'll have a Democratic successor. I'll campaign very hard to make that happen for a variety of reasons, they're far more likely to share my fundamental vision about where America should go."
