Even The Late, Great Paul Wellstone Would Not Fit This Definition Because He Voted For Doma.

Over The Years, So Many Of The Barriers That Prevented People From Getting Married, Crossing Lines Of Faith Or Color Or Ethnicity Have Just Disappeared.

When President Obama Came Into Office, He Inherited The Worst Economic Disaster Since The Great Depression. He Has Cut The Deficit By Two-thirds.

The Worst Part Of What We Heard Donald [trump] Say Has Been About Nuclear Weapons.

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.

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.

A Political Life, I've Often Said, Is A Continuing Education In Human Nature, Including One's Own.

We Know In New York We Have Several Million At Any One Time Who Are In New York Illegally.

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.
