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

We've Had Muslims In America Since George Washington. And We've Had Many Successful Muslims. We Just Lost A Particular Well-known One With Muhammad Ali.

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.

I Think That The Decision To Go To War In Iraq Was A Mistake.

I Mean You've Got A Conservative And Right-winged Press Presence With Really Nothing On The Other End Of The Political Spectrum.

We Should Demand That Donald Release All Of His Tax Returns So That People Can See What Are The Entanglements And The Financial Relationships That He Has With The Russians And Other Foreign Powers.

I Believe That The Rights Of Women And Girls Is The Unfinished Business Of The 21st Century.

Donald Trump Is A Person Who Has Been Very Cavalier, Even Casual About The Use Of Nuclear Weapons.

Because I Support The Second Amendment Doesn't Mean That I Want People Who Shouldn't Have Guns To Be Able To Threaten You, Kill You Or Members Of Your Family.

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.

[donald Trump ] Who Has Said Women Don't Deserve Equal Pay Unless They Do As Good A Job As Men.

There Is No Formula That I'm Aware Of For Being A Successful Or Fulfilled Woman Today.

I Do Agree That In Particular, Turkey And The Gulf Nations Have Got To Make Up Their Minds. Are They Going To Stand With Us Against This Kind Of Jihadi Radicalism Or Not? And There Are Many Ways Of Doing It. They Can Provide Forces. They Can Provide Resources. But They Need To Be Absolutely Clear About Where They Stand.

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. That Was In Large Part Because Of Tax Policies That Slashed Taxes On The Wealthy, Failed To Invest In The Middle Class, Took Their Eyes Off Of Wall Street, And Created A Perfect Storm.

China Is Illegally Dumping Steel In The United States And Donald Trump Is Buying It To Build His Buildings, Putting Steelworkers And American Steel Plants Out Of Business. That's Something That I Fought Against As A Senator And That I Would Have A Trade Prosecutor To Make Sure That We Don't Get Taken Advantage Of By China On Steel Or Anything Else.

The Right To Express One's Views, Practice One's Faith, Peacefully Assemble With Others To Pursue Political Or Social Change - These Are All Rights To Which All Human Beings Are Entitled, Whether They Choose To Exercise Them In A City Square Or An Internet Chat Room. And Just As We Have Worked Together Since The Last Century To Secure These Rights In The Material World, We Must Work Together In This Century To Secure Them In Cyberspace.

Simply Put, We Have To Be Smart About How We Use Our Power. Not Because We Have Less Of It Indeed, The Might Of Our Military, The Size Of Our Economy, The Influence Of Our Diplomacy, And The Creative Energy Of Our People Remain Unrivaled.

With Prior Republican Nominees For President, I Disagreed With Them On Politics, Policies, Principles, But I Never Questioned Their Fitness To Serve. Donald Trump Is Different.

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 Believe American Corporations That Have Gotten So Much From Our Country Should Be Just As Patriotic In Return. Many Of Them Are, But Too Many Aren't. It's Wrong To Take Tax Breaks With One Hand And Give Out Pink Slips With The Other. And I Believe Wall Street Can Never, Ever Be Allowed To Wreck Main Street Again.

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."

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.

I'm Not Going To Put My Lot In With Economists, Because I Know If We Get It Right, If We Actually Did It Right, If We Had A President Who Used All The Tools Of The Presidency, We Would Design It In Such A Way That It Would Be Implemented Effectively.

I Think There Were Bad Actors In The Government And Bad Actors In The Finance, Mortgage, Markets Industries That Need To Be Called Out And Held Accountable.

I Made Policy Decisions Based On What I Thought Was Right That Keep Americans Safe And To Protect U.s. Interests Abroad. No Wild Political Attacks By Donald Trump Is Going To Change That.

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

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

I Want A Supreme Court That Will Stick With Roe V. Wade And A Woman's Right To Choose, And I Want A Supreme Court That Will Stick With Marriage Equality.

Marriage Equality

I Meet People Who Can't Get Healthcare For Their Families, People Who Are Just Distressed Over What Is Happening In Our Country. So When Somebody Asks Me, "how Do You Get Up?" It Really Triggered In Me The Feeling That That's What I Want Us All To Think About Each Other. How Do We Get Up? How Do We Pull On Our Shoes, Go Out And Deal With The Problems America Faces. That's What I Intend To Do As President.

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.

When He Has Gotten A Tough Question From A Reporter, When He Is Challenged In A Debate. When He Sees A Protester At A Rally. Imagine, If You Dare Imagine, Imagine Him In The Oval Office Facing A Real Crisis. A Man You Can Bait With A Tweet Is Not A Man We Can Trust With Nuclear Weapons.
