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.

And We Would Then Have To Put Them On Trains, On Buses To Get Them Out Of America.

It's Just A Fact That If You're A Young African-american Man And You Do The Same Thing As A Young White Man, You Are More Likely To Be Arrested, Charged, Convicted, And Incarcerated. So We've Got To Address The Systemic Racism In Our Criminal Justice System.

One Of The Ways You Go After The Debt, One Of The Ways You Create Jobs Is By Investing In People.

I Think It's Understandable That When Questions Are Raised, People Maybe Are Thinking About Them And Wondering About Them, But I Have Every Confidence That During The Course Of This Campaign, People Are Going To Know Who Will Fight For Them, Who Will Be There When They Need Them, And That's The Kind Of Person I Am And That's What I Will Do, Not Only In A Campaign But As President.

I Will Always Stand Up And Fight For You And Fight For Your Jobs And Fight For Your Families.

Even Though It Might've Advantaged Me, I Would've Said, "we've Got To Get To The Bottom Of This." I Would've Set Up An Independent Commission With Subpoena Power And Everything Else.

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.

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 Couldn't Be A White Sox Fan Because That Was Like Being A Mets Or A Yankees Fan.

Senator [bernie] Sanders Is The Only Person Who I Think Would Characterize Me, A Woman Running To Be The First Woman President, As Exemplifying The Establishment.

The Last Time I Actually Drove A Car Myself Was 1996.

The Supreme Court Raises The Question, What Kind Of Country Will We Be? The Supreme Court Needs To Stand On The Side Of The American People, Not On The Side Of The Powerful, Wealthy.

Donald Trump Doesn't Release His Tax Returns And Is Indebted To Foreign Banks And Foreign Lenders.

When I Was In The Senate, I Had Eight Great Years Working With The Community On Major Issues, Trying To Deal With Problems That People Brought To My Attention. That's Certainly What I Intend To Do As President. I Think That Is What President Obama Has Done.

The End Of The Day

We Did Drive Them [iran] To The Negotiating Table. And My Successor, John Kerry, And President [barack] Obama Got A Deal That Put A Lid On Iran's Nuclear Program Without Firing A Single Shot. That's Diplomacy. That's Coalition-building. That's Working With Other Nations.

We Have To Bring Communities Together In Order To Begin Working On That As A Mutual Goal.

I Am Somewhat Influenced By The Years That I've Spent Trying To Actually Get Things Done, Whether It Was Reforming Education In Arkansas Or A Survey And Legal Services Corporation Board When President [jimmy ]carter Appointed Me And Trying To Get Lawyers For Poor People. I Have Worked In These Areas. I Know It's More Than Just A Hope. You've Got To Translate It Into A Policy That Leads To Action.

Maybe [donald Trump] Is Just Never Dealt With Somebody Who's Not Particularly Impressed By His Carrying On, But I'm Not. So I'm Going To Stay Focused On What's At Stake In This Election.

What [barack Obama] And I Did Was To Say Clearly What We're Doing, All The Bluster, All Of The Sanctions, That Are Just Imposed By The American Government Haven't Had Much Impact.let's See If We Can Put Together An International Coalition To Really Cripple Iran, And Then Maybe We Can Begin A Negotiation, And That's What I Did.

I Think We've Got To Do More To Stop Foreign Fighters, Foreign Funding And Take Isis On Online, As Well As Doing Everything Necessary To Keep Us Safe At Home.

I'm Going To Keep Talking About What I Would Do As President, The Experience That I Bring, The Temperament And Judgment That Led President [barack] Obama To Ask Me To Be Secretary Of State After We Ran A Really Hard Primary Against Each Other. It's Funny To Me, Because When I Have A Position, Whether It's First Lady, Or Senator, Or Secretary Of State, And I'm Doing The Work, I'm Really Quite Popular.

There Is One Lesson From The Past, In Particular, That We Cannot Afford To Ignore: You Cannot Make Progress On Gender Equality Or Broader Human Development, Without Safeguarding Women's Reproductive Health And Rights.

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.

I Can't Stand Whining.

There Is No Nation On The Planet Better Able To Adapt To This Change Than Our Nation. We Must Able To Work Collaboratively With Others. We Must Anticipate These Threats Before They Happen. This Is The New Sort Of Challenge, The New Sort Of Threat That Does, In Fact, Require New Thinking, Fresh Approaches And New Leadership.
