Donald Trump Is The Most Dangerous Person To Run For President In The Modern History Of America.

I Have A Very Positive And Optimistic View About What We Can Do Together. That's Why The Slogan Of My Campaign Is 'stronger Together.'

Donald Trump First Gained Political Prominence Leading The Charge For The So-called Birthers. He Promoted The Racist Lie That President Obama Is Not Really An American Citizen, Part Of A Sustained Effort To Delegitimize America's First Black President.

The Road To Being Somebody In This Society Starts With Education.

... The Best Missile Defense System Of All Would Be A Just And Lasting Peace.

Not Too Long Ago, My Opponent Made A Prediction. He Said I Would Probably Win Pennsylvania, He Would Win North Carolina, And Indiana Would Be The Tiebreaker. Well, Tonight We've Come From Behind, We've Broken The Tie, And, Thanks To You, It's Full Speed On To The White House.

I Have To Confess That It's Crossed My Mind That You Could Not Be A Republican And A Christian.

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.

Congress Has All Sorts Of Rules, Hedge Fund Managers, Private Equity Managers, Executives, Movie Stars, Fall Into That Allow Them To Escape Or Defer Into The Future Not Paying Their Taxes.

I'll Lift Up The Good Work That Is Happening And Hold Officers Or Departments That Engage In Unconstitutional Policing Accountable.

Our Largest Companies Should Not Be Able To Get Away With Paying Hardly Anything At All. It Is Insulting When They Engage In These Games Like Moving Their Headquarters Over To A Foreign Country, On Paper, Not In Reality, Just To Take Advantage Of Lower Tax Breaks.

One Of My Goals Upon Becoming Secretary Of State Was To Take Diplomacy Out Of Capitals, Out Of Government Offices, Into The Media, Into The Streets Of Countries.

I Have Been Very Consistent Over The Course Of My Entire Life. I Have Always Fought For The Same Values And Principles.

We Need A Supreme Court That Will Stand Up On Behalf Of Women's Rights, On Behalf Of The Rights Of The Lgbt Community, That Will Stand Up And Say No To Citizens United, A Decision That Has Undermined The Election System In Our Country Because Of The Way It Permits Dark, Unaccountable Money To Come Into Our Electoral System.

I Suppose I Could Have Stayed Home And Baked Cookies And Had Teas.

Laws Have To Be Backed Up With Resources And Political Will. And Deep-seated Cultural Codes, Religious Beliefs And Structural Biases Have To Be Changed.

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. That Was Our Objective. We Achieved It.

In The Fight For Women's Rights, The Support Of Men Remains Crucial.

Democracies Have To Be Careful That They Do Not Become So Process-driven.

Democracies Have

There Are 4 Billion Cell Phones In Use Today. Many Of Them Are In The Hands Of Market Vendors, Rickshaw Drivers, And Others Who've Historically Lacked Access To Education And Opportunity.

I Think That Like Most People I Know, I Have A Range Of Views, But They Are Rooted In My Values And Experience.

People Make Mistakes And I'm Certainly Not Saying Bernie Sanders Did It For Any Kind Of Financial Advantage. What We've Got To Do As Democrats - What We've Got To Do As Democrats Is To Be United To Actually Solve These Problems. And What I Believe Is That I Have A Better Track Record And A Better Opportunity To Actually Get That Job Done.

In My First 100 Days, I'll Work With Both Parties To Make The Biggest Investment In Good-paying Jobs In Decades. 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.
