I'm Going To Continue To Push For A No-fly Zone And Safe Havens Within Syria Not Only To Help Protect The Syrians And Prevent The Constant Outflow Of Refugees, But To, Frankly, Gain Some Leverage On Both The Syrian Government And The Russians So That Perhaps We Can Have The Kind Of Serious Negotiation Necessary To Bring The Conflict To An End And Go Forward On A Political Track.

I Always Believed You Could Learn Something From Nearly Everybody You Meet, If You're Open To It.

Donald [trump] Never Tells You What He Would Do. Would He Have Started A War? Would He Have Bombed Iran? If He's Going To Criticize A Deal That Has Been Very Successful In Giving Us Access To Iranian Facilities That We Never Had Before, Then He Should Tell Us What His Alternative Would Be.

I Don't Feel Particularly Courageous.

Make No Mistake, Today, Not A Single Republican Candidate, Announced Or Potential, Is Clearly And Consistently Supporting A Path To Citizenship. Not One. When They Talk About Legal Status That Is Code For Second-class Status.

I Take Running For President And Being President Really Seriously. It's A - Maybe The Toughest Job In The World, Right?

You Know, We Did A Good Job In Containing The Soviet Union, But We Made A Lot Of Mistakes, We Supported Really Nasty Guys, We Did Some Things That We Are Not Particularly Proud Of, From Latin America To Southeast Asia, But We Did Have A Kind Of Overarching Framework About What We Were Trying To Do That Did Lead To The Defeat Of The Soviet Union And The Collapse Of Communism.

I Mean, Of Course That's A Theoretical Question, And We Don't Know What It Would Be For, And We Don't Know How Many Numbers There Are. I Am Against American Combat Troops Being In Syria And Iraq.

We Did Drive Them [iran] To The Negotiating Table. And My Successor, John Kerry, And President [barack] Obama Got A Deal That Put A Lid On Iran's Nuclear Program Without Firing A Single Shot. That's Diplomacy. That's Coalition-building. That's Working With Other Nations.

I Feel Strongly That We Have To Have An Education System That Starts With Preschool And Goes Through College. That's Why I Want More Technical Education In High Schools And In Community Colleges, Real Apprenticeships To Prepare Young People For The Jobs Of The Future.

I Started Off As A Young Lawyer Working Against Discrimination Against African-american Children In Schools And In The Criminal Justice System. I Worked To Make Sure That Kids With Disabilities Could Get A Public Education, Something That I Care Very Much About. I Have Worked With Latinos - One Of My First Jobs In Politics Was Down In South Texas Registering Latino Citizens To Be Able To Vote.

I'm Very Proud And Grateful To Have The Support Of So Many Elected Vermonters And Former Officials. Two Former Governors, The Current Governor, The Current Other Senator.

One Person's Fashion Is Another Person's Disaster.

I've Never Seen People As Physically Distraught As The Bush Administration Team Was Because Of What Was Happening To The Economy. I Personally Believe That The Steps That President Obama Took Saved The Economy. He Doesn't Get The Credit He Deserves For Taking Some Very Hard Positions. But It Was A Terrible Recession. So Now We've Dug Ourselves Out Of It, We're Standing, But We're Not Yet Running.

In Fact, Donald [trump] Was One Of The People Who Rooted For The Housing Crisis.

I Will Do Everything I Can To Reach Out To Everybody.

I Served On The Budget Committee In The Senate, And I Remember As Vividly As If It Were Yesterday When We Had A Hearing In Which Alan Greenspan Came And Justified Increasing Spending And Cutting Taxes, Saying That We Didn't Really Need To Pay Down The Debt - Outrageous In My View.

We Have Never In The History Of Our Country Been In A Situation Where An Adversary, A Foreign Power, Is Working So Hard To Influence The Outcome Of The Election, And, Believe Me, They're Not Doing It To Get Me Elected.

If I Had Lost The Popular Vote But Won The Electoral College And In My First Day As President The Intelligence Community Came To Me And Said, "the Russians Influenced The Election," I Would've Never Stood For It. Even Though It Might've Advantaged Me, I Would've Said, "we've Got To Get To The Bottom Of This." I Would've Set Up An Independent Commission With Subpoena Power And Everything Else.

People Should And Do Trust Me.

[muammar] Gaddafi Probably Had More Blood On His Hands Of Americans Than Anybody Else.

I Believe Abortion Should Be Safe, Legal, And Rare. I Do Think Women Should Have A Choice But Also That Women Should Be Making Responsible Decisions.

A Man With A Long History Of Racial Discrimination Should Never Run Our Government.

I Believe Strongly That Commonsense Gun Safety Measures Would Assist Us.

We're Making Progress. Our Military Is Assisting In Iraq. And We're Hoping That Within The Year We'll Be Able To Push Isis Out Of Iraq And Then, You Know, Really Squeeze Them In Syria.

Donald Trump Lives In An Alternative Reality.

Freedom Means The Right To Assemble, Organize, And Debate Openly. It Means Not Taking Citizens Away From Their Loved Ones And Jailing Them, Mistreating Them, Or Denying Them Their Freedom Or Dignity Because Of Peaceful Expression Of Their Ideas And Opinions.

[donald Trump] Has Really Started His Political Activity Based On This Racist Lie That Our First Black President Was Not An American Citizen. There Was Absolutely No Evidence For It, But He Persisted, He Persisted Year After Year, Because Some Of His Supporters, People That He Was Trying To Bring Into His Fold, Apparently Believed It Or Wanted To Believe It.

Parenthood Has The Power To Redefine Every Aspect Of Life - Marriage, Work, Relationships With Family And Friends. Those Helpless Bundles Of Power And Promise That Come Into Our World Show Us Our True Selves- Who We Are, Who We Are Not, Who We Wish We Could Be.

Work Relationships

One Lesson I Have Learned The Hard Way, And There Will Not Be Any Such Thing In The White House. Although, I Am Quick To Add, There's No Evidence That It Was Ever Hacked. And Unfortunately, You Can't Say That For A Lot Of The Government.

When I Was Secretary Of State, I Had To Be Responsible For Getting A Nuclear Arms Reduction Treaty With Russia Through The Senate. We Needed, I Think, 13 Republican Votes To Get To 67. I Started Working In The Summer Making Just Endless Phone Calls, Meetings, Bringing Experts To Talk To Republicans, And Then We Finally Got It Done At The End Of The Year 2010. So I'm Excited To Roll Up My Sleeves And Get Into The Business Of Solving Problems And Making Progress Together.

Despite Our Founding Principles And The Many Ways Our Constitution Has Protected Individual Liberties, We Do, Let's Admit It, Have A Long History Of Shutting People Out--african Americans, Women, Gays And Lesbians, People With Disabilities--and Throughout Our History, We Have Found Too Many Ways To Divide And Exclude People From Their Ownership Of The Law And Protection Under The Law.

I Have Stood Up And I Have Represented My Constituents To The Best Of My Abilities, And I'm Very Proud Of That.
