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

This Isn't Just A "women's Issue"т - It's An Issue Every American Should Care About, No Matter Their Gender.

I Think Cyber Security, Cyber Warfare Will Be One Of The Biggest Challenges Facing The Next President, Because Clearly We're Facing At This Point Two Different Kinds Of Adversaries. There Are The Independent Hacking Groups That Do It Mostly For Commercial Reasons To Try To Steal Information That They Can Use To Make Money.

I Think We Need To Invest More In America.

I Think That I Am The Person Who Can Do All Aspects Of The Job. I Think I'm The Person Best Prepared To Take The Case To The Republicans.

That Is What I Want To Make Clear Today. A Man With A Long History Of Racial Discrimination, Who Traffics In Dark Conspiracy Theories Drawn From The Pages Of Supermarket Tabloids And The Far, Dark Reaches Of The Internet, Should Never Run Our Government Or Command Our Military.

I Don't Want People Who Just Tell Me What They Think I Want To Hear, Because That Doesn't Do Me Any Good.

I Think That For Most Of Our History, There Was A Nuanced Reading Of The Second Amendment Until The Decision By The Late Justice [antoine] Scalia And There Was No Argument Until Then That Localities And States And The Federal Government Had A Right, As We Do With Every Amendment, To Impose Reasonable Regulation.

[donald Trump] Suggestions That The United States Should Leave The Pacific And Let Japan, South Korea, Or Whoever Else Wants To Develop Nuclear Weapons. These Are Incredibly Dangerous Ideas That Need To Be Confronted.

I Feel Like I Have Had The Most Amazing Life In My Public Service. And For The Last 17 Years, Ever Since My Husband Started Running For President, I Have Been In The Spotlight, Working Hard. And This Job Is Incredibly All-encompassing. So I Think I'm Looking Forward To Maybe Taking Some Time Off

In My Own Country, Many Of The Movies In Recent Years Express Our Innate Fears About What Awaits Us. They Are Apocalyptic Visions That Leave Only A Few People On Earth-whole Cities Surviving Under Domes Because We Have Depleted Our Natural Resources.

I Have Met With Women Who Toward The End Of Their Pregnancy Get The Worst News One Could Get, That Their Health Is In Jeopardy If They Continue To Carry To Term Or That Something Terrible Has Happened Or Just Been Discovered About The Pregnancy.

When They Talk About Legal Status That Is Code For Second-class Status.

A Nuclear-weapons Armed Iran Is Not In Anyone's Human-rights Interests. That Is A Direct Threat To The Lives And The Livelihoods And The Stability Not Only Of The Region But Beyond.

[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.

I Am A Very Committed Person When It Comes To Finding Common Ground.

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

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 Also Believe That We Have An Extraordinary Opportunity For The United States And European Union To Lead The World In Developing And Implementing New And More Efficient Technologies - Smart Electrical Grids And Electrical Vehicles.

Anyone Who Supported Bernie Sanders Who Thinks We Should Raise The Minimum Wage, Who Thinks That We Should Have Universal Health Care Coverage, Who Thinks That The Wealthy Have Not Paid Their Fair Share, And I Could Go On And On, Would Certainly Not Find That Donald Trump's Views Are In Line With Theirs.
