I Disagreed With The Way The Court Applied The Second Amendment In Heller's Case, Because What The District Of Columbia Was Trying To Do Was To Protect Toddlers From Guns And So They Wanted People With Guns To Safely Store Them. And The Court Didn't Accept That Reasonable Regulation, But They've Accepted Many Others. So I See No Conflict Between Saving People's Lives And Defending The Second Amendment.

I Think Probably [donald Trump] Is Not All That Enthusiastic About Having The Rest Of Our Country See What The Real Reasons Are, Because It Must Be Something Really Important, Even Terrible, That He's Trying To Hide.

We Can't Wait Any Longer For A Path To Full And Equal Citizenship. Now, This Is Where I Differ With Everybody On The Republican Side. Make No Mistake, Today, Not A Single Republican Candidate, Announced Or Potential, Is Clearly And Consistently Supporting A Path To Citizenship. Not One.

The First Lady Role Is Really Difficult. It Has No Job Description... You Have To Create It For Yourself.

The United States Compared To A Number Of Our Competitors Is The Only Government In The World With Any Kind Of Safeguards, Any Kind Of Checks And Balances. They May In Many Respects Need To Be Strengthened And People Need To Be Reassured, And They Need To Have Their Protections Embodied In Law.

My Work As Secretary Of State Was Not Influenced By The Outside Forces.

What We've Seen From Donald Trump Has Been So Negative That Nobody Wants To Be Associated With That.

I've Tried To Be Very Specific About What We Can And Should Do.

But Fighting To Give Women And Girls A Fighting Chance Isn’t A Nice Thing To-do. It Isn’t Some Luxury That We Get To When We Have Time On Our Hands To Spend.

But We Would Be Making A Grave Mistake To Turn Our Backs On What Built The Greatest Middle Class In The History.

There Is Still Work To Be Done, But That Remains A Crucial Lesson, You Cannot Bring Peace And Security To People Just By Signing An Agreement. In Fact, Most Peace Agreements Don't Last.

I Feel Like I Have To Do The Best Job I Can To Basically Say, "ok, I Understand - You Have Every Right To Be Angry, But Anger Is Not A Plan. Here's What I Want To Do, And That's Why I Hope You Will Support Me, Because I Think It Will Actually Improve The Lives Of Americans."

I Have A Lot Of Friends In South Carolina.

Lots Of Friends

I Believe Capital Gains, For The Most Part, Should Be Taxed The Same Way We Tax Income From Hard Work, Sweat, And Toil. And If We Do Those Things, We Can Be A Country That Actually Can Afford Debt-free College Again.

Donald Trump Participated In Something Known As The Empty Box Scam. He Bought $65,000 Worth Of Jewelry From Bulgari Across The Street From Trump Tower, And Had The Record Show That It Was Mailed To Him In An Out-of-state Address. Now, If You're Not A New York Resident, You May Not Have To Pay Sales Tax If The Jewelry Is Mailed To You In Another State. The Problem Is, They Were Empty Boxes. It Was Proven.

I'm Not Interested In, You Know, Turning The Clock Back Or Pointing Fingers, But I Am Interested In Trying To Figure Out How We Come Together To Chart A Better Way Forward And One That Will Restore Confidence In, You Know, Small And Medium-size Businesses And Consumers And Begin To Chip Away At The Unemployment Rate.

I Am Very Comfortable Saying What I Believe I Can Do, Being Very Specific About How We Will Do It, How We Will Pay For It, And Having People Know That I Want Them To Hold Me Accountable.

I Would Say That Folks Who Have Looked At This Issue For A Long Time, Whether It's Elizabeth Warren Or Many Other Economists, Will Tell You That Right Now, Yes, We Do Need A 21st Century Glass-steagall Legislation.

We'll Also Raise The Minimum Wage - A Big Deal For The Nearly Two-thirds Of Minimum-wageworkers Who Are Women. And We'll Give Women The Tools They Need To Fight For Equal Pay. This Isn't Just A "women's Issue"т - It's An Issue Every American Should Care About, No Matter Their Gender.

We'll Get Things Done Together. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, We're Going To Make Progress Together When I'm President.

I Think I've Set Some Big Goals. The American People Haven't Had A Raise In 15 Years. Getting Incomes Up Is A Huge Goal. Now Maybe It's Not As Exciting To Some People, But It's A Huge Goal.

Everybody In The Government With Whom I Emailed Knew That I Was Using A Personal Email, And I Have Said It Would Have Been A Better Choice To Have Had Two Separate Email Accounts. And I've Also Tried To Not Only Take Responsibility, Because It Was My Decision, But To Be As Transparent As Possible.

Although We Weren't Able To Shatter That Highest, Hardest Glass Ceiling This Time, Thanks To You, It's Got About 18 Million Cracks In It.

Our History Has Moved In That Direction Slowly At Times But Unmistakably Thanks To Generations Of Americans Who Refused To Give Up Or Back Down.now You Are Writing A New Chapter Of That Story.

That Is The Number-one Threat We Face In The World. And It Becomes Particularly Threatening If Terrorists Ever Get Their Hands On Any Nuclear Material.

I Do Think, You Know, You Don't Have To Have 30 Billion, But You Have A Certain Level Of Freedom.

The Orlando Terrorist May Be Dead. But The Virus That Poisoned His Mind Remains Very Much Alive. And We Must Attack It With Clear Eyes, Steady Hands, Unwavering Determination And Pride In Our Country And Our Values.

I Can't Stand Whining. I Can't Stand The Kind Of Paralysis That Some People Fall Into Because They're Not Happy With The Choices They've Made. You Live In A Time When There Are Endless Choices ... Money Certainly Helps, And Having That Kind Of Financial Privilege Goes A Long Way, But You Don't Even Have To Have Money For It. But You Have To Work On Yourself ... Do Something!

America Can Only Live Up To Its Potential When Each And Every American Has The Chance To Live Up To Your Potential, Too.

When I Was A Senator From New York, I Represented And Worked With So Many Talented Principled People Who Made Their Living In Finance. But Even Thought I Represented Them And Did All I Could To Make Sure They Continued To Prosper, I Called For Closing The Carried Interest Loophole And Addressing Skyrocketing Ceo Pay. I Also Was Calling In '06, '07 For Doing Something About The Mortgage Crisis, Because I Saw Every Day From Wall Street Literally To Main Streets Across New York How A Well-functioning Financial System Is Essential.

If [donald ] Trump Wins, They [ White Supremacists] Could Be Running The Country.

It Has Been The Policy Of The United States, Democrats And Republicans, To Do Everything We Could To Reduce The Proliferation Of Nuclear Weapons.

I Think It's Fair To Say There Is A Demagogic Path That Europeans, South Americans, Asians Have Pursued, And We Know Where That Leads. It Uses Xenophobia, It Uses Paranoia, It Uses Prejudice, It Uses Nationalism To Really Stir People Up And To, You Know, Begin An Us-versus-them Contrast, Which Is Dangerous And Is Not Something We've Had In Our Politics At A Presidential Level In America.

The Gun Lobby Whips Up People And Makes Them Believe That President Obama Or I Are Coming For Their Guns. Well, That's Ridiculous. And He's Said It, I Have Said It. But We Do Want To Save Lives By Keeping A Gun From Somebody Who Shouldn't Have It.

Let's Stop For A Second And Remember Where We Were Eight Years Ago [in 2008]. We Had The Worst Financial Crisis, The Great Recession, The Worst Since The 1930s.

I Have Tried To Emphasize To People That, Hey, Just Like President Obama Was A Really Good President, And The Fact That He Was Black I Think Was Historic And Unprecedented, But He Also Claimed And Owned His Excellence, And That's Why I'm Saying, Okay - I Think It's Really Exciting And Historic That I Would Be The First Woman President, But I Have A Lot Of Work I Want To Do. And I Hope That People Will Say, "hey, She's Getting It Done." That's How I Think About It.

We Have To Work To Make Sure That Our Police Are Using The Best Training, The Best Techniques, That They're Well Prepared To Use Force Only When Necessary.

Why Extremists Always Focus On Women Remains A Mystery To Me. But They All Seem To. It Doesn’t Matter What Country They’re In Or What Religion They Claim. They All Want To Control Women. They Want To Control How We Dress. They Want To Control How We Act. They Even Want To Control The Decisions We Make About Our Own Health And Our Own Bodies.

It Is Important To Learn How To Take Criticism Seriously, But Not Personally.

I Can't Stand Whining.

Many Of The Fights That Are Going On Are Not Ones That The United States Has Either Started Or Have A Role In. The Shia-- Sunni Split, The Dictatorships That Have Suppressed People's Aspirations, The Increasing Globalization Without Any Real Safety Valve For People To Have A Better Life. We Saw That In Egypt.

Fairness And Equality

If You're A Realist, You Know That People Have Different Roles To Play In Politics, Economics, And This Is An Important Role, But I Do Think That There Has To Be An Understanding Of How What Happens Here On Wall Street Has Such Broad Consequences Not Just For The Domestic But The Global Economy, So More Thought Has To Be Given To The Process And Transactions And Regulations So That We Don't Kill Or Maim What Works, But We Concentrate On The Most Effective Way Of Moving Forward With The Brainpower And The Financial Power That Exists Here.

I Think We Have To Face The Reality That In A Society Where There Is A Legitimate Threat Of Terrorism, Not Being Able To See One's Face, Not Being Able To Have Some Sense Of Communication In That Way, Is For Many Societies A Challenge.

This Year, The United States Renewed Funding Of Reproductive Healthcare Through The United Nations Population Fund, And More Funding Is On The Way. The U.s.

You Can't Just Give A Speech And Expect People To Fall Down And Agree With You.

I Am Not Taking A Position On Any Policy, But I Do Think There Is A Growing Sense Of Anxiety And Even Anger In America Over The Feeling That The Game Is Rigged. And I Never Had That Feeling When I Was Growing Up. Never.
