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. We Saw A Dictator Overthrown, We Saw Muslim Brotherhood President Installed And Then We Saw Him Ousted And The Army Back.

What I'm Concerned About Is The Views Of Many Democrats Who Know Their States, Who Know How Hard It Is To Win A General Election. And It Also Will Push Whoever The Nominee Is Into The Spotlight.

I Have Gone From A Barry Goldwater Republican To A New Democrat, But I Think My Underlying Values Have Remained Pretty Constant; Individual Responsibility And Community. I Do Not See Those As Being Mutually Inconsistent.

Remember, Donald [trump] Started His Career Back In 1973 Being Sued By The Justice Department For Racial Discrimination Because He Would Not Rent Apartments In One Of His Developments To African-americans, And He Made Sure That The People Who Worked For Him Understood That Was The Policy. He Actually Was Sued Twice By The Justice Department.

It's One Of The Reasons [vladimir Putin Invitation To U.s] Why 50 National Security Officials Who Served In Republican Information - In Administrations Have Said That Donald [trump] Is Unfit To Be The Commander- In-chief.

I Saw Donald [trump] Saying That There Were Some Iranian Sailors On A Ship In The Waters Off Of Iran, And They Were Taunting American Sailors Who Were On A Nearby Ship. He Said, You Know, If They Taunted Our Sailors, I'd Blow Them Out Of The Water And Start Another War. That's Not Good Judgment.

Part Of What We'll Have To Figure Out Is What Do You Call The Male Spouse Of A Female President? Now, It's A Little Bit More Complicated With Him Because People Still Call Former Presidents Mr. President.

Americans Need Help Understanding Their World Now More Than Ever. [tv] Believes It's Filled Its Obligation To The Public Because It's Presented Both Sides. But Most Of What We're Living Through Now Has Multiple Sides, And Those Sides, If You Take The Extreme Oppositional Views, Have To Be Brought Together For People To Make A Decision About How To Act On The Information.

If There Is One Message That Echoes Forth From This Conference, It Is That Human Rights Are Women's Rights — And Women's Rights Are Human Rights. Let Us Not Forget That Among Those Rights Are The Right To Speak Freely — And The Right To Be Heard.

This Killer [in Orlando] Was Interviewed By The Fbi Three Times And I'm Not Going To Second Guess What Career Law Enforcement Professionals Do Everyday To Defend Our Nation. But We Need To Look Carefully At This. Should We Have A Broader Database? You Know, Someone Comes To The Attention Of Fbi Not Once But Three Times, Does That Suggest That Local Law Enforcement Needs To Know.

It's Important To Recognize The Vital Role That The Financial Markets Play In Our Economy And That So Many Of You Are Contributing To. To Function Effectively Those Markets And The Men And Women Who Shape Them Have To Command Trust And Confidence, Because We All Rely On The Market's Transparency And Integrity. So Even If It May Not Be 100 Percent True, If The Perception Is That Somehow The Game Is Rigged, That Should Be A Problem For All Of Us, And We Have To Be Willing To Make That Absolutely Clear.

I Feel Like Every Day, Every Minute I Have To Make The Most Of.

You May Have Heard That Donald Trum Has Long Refused To Release His Tax Returns, The Way Every Other Nominee For President Has Done For Decades. You Can Look At 40 Years Of My Tax Returns. I Think We Need A Law That Says, If You Become The Nominee Of The Major Parties, You Have To Release Your Tax Returns.

Senator Kennedy Inspired So Many With His Decades Of Service, So I Can't Think Of A More Fitting Tribute Then Working To Educate And Motivate Future Generations Of Citizens And Public Servants Alike.

We Have Undocumented Immigrants In America Who Are Paying More Federal Income Tax Than A Billionaire. I Find That Just Astonishing.

Undocumented Immigrants

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.

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.

I Think It's Been Unfortunate, But It's Happened, That Since The Great Recession, The Gains Have All Gone To The Top. And We Need To Reverse That.

The Cavalier Casual Way That Donald Trump Talks About Nuclear Weapons Is Not Only Frightening But It Goes Counter To More Than 70 Years Of Bipartisan, Presidential Leadership Of Republicans And Democrats Who Believed That We Have To Prevent Other Countries From Getting Nuclear Weapons And We Have To Do What We Can To Decrease The Number Of Nuclear Weapons In The World.

Inflammatory, Anti-muslim Rhetoric And Threatening To Ban The Families And Friends Of Muslim Americans As Well As Millions Of Muslim Business People And Tourists From Entering Our Country Hurts The Vast Majority Of Muslims Who Love Freedom And Hate Terror.

Donald Trump's Insulting Comments About Women Go Hand In Hand With His Plans To Defund Planned Parenthood And Appoint Supreme Court Justices Who Will End Legal Abortion.

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.

I Want To Close The Online Loophole And The Gun Show Loophole.

Keeping Your Head Down And Doing The Best Job You Can In The Beginning Gives You The Opportunity To Be Evaluated On The Basis Of The Contributions You Are Making. [then], When You Feel Strongly About Your Work Or About A Position, You'll Be Given More Attention [than] If You Hadn't Done That Constantly.

I Feel That At This Point In Our Country's History, It Is Important That We Not Reverse Marriage Equality, That We Not Reverse Roe V. Wade, That We Stand Up Against Citizens United, We Stand Up For The Rights Of People In The Workplace, That We Stand Up And Basically Say: The Supreme Court Should Represent All Of Us. That's How I See The Court, And The Kind Of People That I Would Be Looking To Nominate To The Court Would Be In The Great Tradition Of Standing Up To The Powerful, Standing Up On Behalf Of Our Rights As Americans.

Part Of Diplomacy, The Hard Work Of Diplomacy Is Trying To Extract Whatever Concessions You Can Get, And Giving Something The Other Side Wants. Of Course You've Got To Try To Make Peace With, And Work With Those Who Are Your Adversaries, But You Don't Just Rush In, Open The Door, And Say, "here I Am. Let's Talk And Make A Deal."

Gay Rights And Human Rights Are One And The Same.

We Need Banking. I Mean, Right Now, There Are So Many Places In America Where The Banks Are Not Doing What They Need To Do Because They're Scared Of Regulations, They're Scared Of The Other Shoe Dropping, They're Just Plain Scared,so Credit Is Not Flowing The Way It Needs To To Restart Economic Growth.

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.

Second Amendment

I'm Not Going To Have Some Reporters Pawing Through Our Papers. We Are The President.

I'm The Granddaughter Of A Factory Worker From Scranton, Pennsylvania. He Went To Work In The Same Lace Mill Every Day For 50 Years. He Believed He Passed It Down To My Dad, Who Passed It Down To Me, That If He Did What He Was Supposed To Do, He'd Have A Good Life And His Kids Would Have An Even Better Life. That Is The American Dream. That Is What We Believe In, That's What We've Got To Keep Going Generation After Generation.

We Can't Be Fighting The Last War. We Have To Be Preparing To Fight The New War.

Whether I Am Meant To Or Not, I Challenge Assumptions About Women. I Do Make Some People Uncomfortable, Which I'm Well Aware Of, But That's Just Part Of Coming To Grips With What I Believe Is Still One Of The Most Important Pieces Of Unfinished Business In Human History - Empowering Women To Be Able To Stand Up For Themselves.

Unfinished Business

Sometimes, Opening Up Your Eyes And Realising What You Have - No Matter How Little You Think - Helps You Find Yourself.

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

Racial Inequality Is A Big Problem.

I Really Deplore The Tone Of His Campaign And The Inflammatory Rhetoric That He Is Using To Divide People. I Don`t Know That Donald Trump Has Any Boundaries At All.

My Dream Is A Hemispheric Common Market, With Open Trade And Open Borders, Some Time In The Future With Energy That Is As Green And Sustainable As We Can Get It, Powering Growth And Opportunity For Every Person In The Hemisphere.

There Are Resources To Help And Simple Steps That Parents, Preschools, Businesses, And Communities Can Take To Help Our Kids Succeed, Because We're All In This Together, And That's What The Too Small To Fail Initiative Is All About.

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!

If You Were An Elected Member Of Congress And People In Your Constituency Were Losing Jobs And Shutting Businesses And Everybody In The Press Is Saying It's All The Fault Of Wall Street, You Can't Sit Idly By And Do Nothing, But What You Do Is Really Important.

Politics Is Like Sausage Being Made. It Is Unsavory, And It Always Has Been That Way, But We Usually End Up Where We Need To Be.

When You're President, You Can't Vote Present. You Have To Make A Decision. Sometimes It's A Split Second Decision. You Don't Have Time To Think About It. You've Got To Actually Decide.

We Can Have Enough Clean Energy To Power Every Home.

We Have To Resist, Protectionism, Other Kinds Of Barriers To Market Access And To Trade.

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

I'm Not Going To Be Able To Wave A Magic Wand And Change Everybody's Thoughts. That's Something That Can Only Happen By People Working On Themselves And Being Held To Account By The Rest Of Us, But What Donald Trump's Done Really Unleashed A Lot Of Darkness And Divisiveness.

I Don't Think It Was Progressive To Vote To Give Gun Makers And Sellers Immunity. I Don't Think It Was Progressive To Vote Against Ted Kennedy's Immigration Reform.

People Sometimes Ask Me, "you're Still In A Primary - Why Are You Criticizing [donald] Trump?" It's Because I Don't Want What He's Saying To Stand Unanswered.

The Republicans Can't Go After Donald Trump Where I Think He Needs To Be Criticized.

After Chasing After [donald] Trump Like A Lovelorn High School Girl The Evangelicals Are In No Position To Ask For Anything. Ever.

I've Heard [bernie] Sanders Comments, And It's Really Caused Me To Wonder Who's Left In The Progressive Wing Of The Democratic Party. Under His Definition, [barack] Obama Is Not Progressive Because He Took Donations From Wall Street; [joe] Biden Is Not Progressive Because She Supported Keystone; [jeanne] Shaheen Is Not Progressive Because She Supports The Trade Pact. Even The Late, Great Paul Wellstone Would Not Fit This Definition Because He Voted For Doma.

The Money Has To Go To The Federal Government Because The Federal Government Will Spend That Money Better Than The Private Sector Will Spend It.

Federal Government

Women Have Always Been The Primary Victims Of War. Women Lose Their Husbands, Their Fathers, Their Sons In Combat.

I Respect Donald Trump's Children. His Children Are Incredibly Able And Devoted, And I Think That Says A Lot About Donald. I Don't Agree With Nearly Anything Else He Says Or Does, But I Do Respect That. And I Think That Is Something That As A Mother And A Grandmother Is Very Important To Me.

Donald Trump Is Temperamentally Unfit To Be President And Commander-in-chief.

Donald Was One Of The People Who Rooted For The Housing Crisis. He Said, Back In 2006, Gee, I Hope It Does Collapse Because Then I Can Go In And Buy Some And Make Some Money. Well, It Did Collapse.

We Need To Do A Better Job Of Working, Again, With The Communities, Faith Communities, Business Communities, As Well As The Police To Try To Deal With This Problem.

Everyone Has Some Dysfunction In Their Families. They Have To Deal With It. You Don't Walk Away If You Love Someone. You Help The Person.

If You Love Someone

And Not Go To Things That Sound Good That Really Did Not Have The Kind Of Impact That We Would Want. Who Disagrees With Keeping Neighborhoods Safe?

Some People Think Elections Are A Game: Who's Up Or Who's Down. It's About Our Country. It's About Our Kids' Future. It's About All Of Us Together. Some Of Us Put Ourselves Out There And Do This Against Some Difficult Odds. We Do It, Each One Of Us, Against Difficult Odds. We Do It Because We Care About Our Country. Some Of Us Are Right, And Some Of Us Are Not. Some Of Us Are Ready, And Some Of Us Are Not. Some Of Us Know What We Will Do On Day One, And Some Of Us Haven't Thought That Through.

We've Got To Have Good Schools In Every Zip Code.

Democracy Is Still A Radical Idea In A World Where We Often Confuse Images With Realities, Words With Actions.

One Of The Best Investments We Can Make Is To Give Our Kids The Ingredients They Need To Develop In The First Five Years Of Life.

The People That Know The Industry Better Than Anybody Are The People Who Work In The Industry.

I Want To Get Everybody Out Of The Shadows, Get The Economy Working, And Not Let Employers Like Donald Trump Exploit Undocumented Workers, Which Hurts Them, But Also Hurts American Workers.

Being Human, We Are Imperfect. That's Why We Need Each Other. To Catch Each Other When We Falter. To Encourage Each Other When We Lose Heart. Some May Lead; Others May Follow; But None Of Us Can Go It Alone.

The President [barack Obama] Decided To Leave More Troops Than He Had Originally Planned In Afghanistan. We Have A Very Cooperative Government There, With Ashraf Ghani And His Top - His Top Partner, Abdullah. And They Are Doing Their Very Best. And The Afghan Army Is Actually Fighting. The Afghan Army Is Taking Heavy Losses Defending Afghan Territory.

The Consciousness-raising, The Advocacy, The Passion, The Youth Of Your Movement Is So Critical.

I Think It's Time To Send A Clear Message To What Has Become The Most Profitable Sector In The Entire Economy [the Oil Industry], That They Are Being Watched.

If [donald Trump] Is Paid Zero [taxes], That Means Zero For Troops, Zero For Vets, Zero For Schools Or Health.

We Need A Wide Variety Of Ways For Voters To Get A Good Look At Our Candidates.

What Difference, At This Point, Does It Make?

I Try To Read For Pleasure Whenever I Can - It's A Great Way Just To Shut It Off For A While So Your Brain Doesn't Get Fried.

I'm Not Responding To Any Of The Personal Attacks That Come From Donald Trump, Because He Can Say Whatever He Wants About Me, And I Have More Votes Than He Does As We Sit Here Today. More Americans Have Voted For Me.

Freedom Is Never Granted. It Is Earned By Each Generation.
