But Even Thought I Represented Them And Did All I Could To Make Sure They Continued To Prosper, I Called For Closing The Carried Interest Loophole And Addressing Skyrocketing Ceo Pay. I Also Was Calling In '06, '07 For Doing Something About The Mortgage Crisis, Because I Saw Every Day From Wall Street Literally To Main Streets Across New York How A Well-functioning Financial System Is Essential.

I Have Met Thousands And Thousands Of Pro-choice Men And Women. I Have Never Met Anyone Who Is Pro-abortion. Being Pro-choice Is Not Being Pro-abortion.

For More Than A Half A Century, We Know That We Prospered Because Of A Bipartisan Consensus On Defense And Foreign Policy. We Must Do More Than Return To That Sensible, Cooperative Approach.

How Do We Create Jobs For So Many Americans Who Are Feeling Pushed Out, Not Just Left Out, Pushed Out Of The Modern Economy. Obviously It's Skills And Education. But It's Also Jobs. So If I Could Do Anything It Would Be To Take This Moment In Time That We've Got When, Yes, Our Recovery Is Better, We've Had Steadier Growth, I Don't Think President [barack] Obama Frankly Gets The Credit He Deserves For The Kind Of Steady Hand That He And His Advisers Apply To Moving Through That Really Dangerous Period.

Incomes Went Up For Everybody. Manufacturing Jobs Went Up Also In The 1990s, If We're Actually Going To Look At The Facts.

I Made A Mistake. That Happens. It Proves I'm Human, Which You Know, For Some People, Is A Revelation.

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.

After 9/11, I Went To Work With Republican Mayor, Governor And President To Rebuild New York And To Get Health Care For Our First Responders Who Were Suffering Because They Had Run Toward Danger And Gotten Sickened By It. Hundreds Of Thousands Of National Guard And Reserve Members Have Health Care Because Of Work That I Did, And Children Have Safer Medicines Because I Was Able To Pass A Law That Required The Dosing To Be More Carefully Done.

In Almost Every Profession - Whether It's Law Or Journalism, Finance Or Medicine Or Academia Or Running A Small Business - People Rely On Confidential Communications To Do Their Jobs.

So I Am Really Welcoming Of The Opportunity To Meet With Not Only People Who Agree With Me But Those Who Don't To See What We Can Do To Try To Bridge The Differences.

Donald Trump Is Reinforcing Harmful Stereotypes And Offering A Dog Whistle To His Most Hateful Supporters. It's A Disturbing Preview Of What Kind Of President He'd Be.

It's Just Awfully Good That Someone With The Temperament Of Donald Trump Is Not In Charge Of The Law In Our Country [america].

There Is Such A Bias Against People Who Have Led Successful And/or Complicated Lives. You Know, The Divestment Of Assets, The Stripping Of All Kinds Of Positions, The Sale Of Stocks. It Just Becomes Very Onerous And Unnecessary.

Trickle-down Did Not Work. It Got Us Into The Mess We Were In, In 2008 And 2009. Slashing Taxes On The Wealthy Hasn’t Worked. And A Lot Of Really Smart, Wealthy People Know That. And They Are Saying, Hey, We Need To Do More To Make The Contributions We Should Be Making To Rebuild The Middle Class.

If Hollywood And Bollywood Were How We All Lived Our Lives, That Would Surprise Me. And Yet It's Often The Way Our Cultures Are Conveyed, Isn't It?

They [parents] Can Resist The Impulse To "prove" Their Love By Showering Children With Things They Do Not Need And Give Them Precisous Time And Attention Instead.

Our Challenge Is Much More Pervasive Than It Would Be If We Were Just Facing One Enemy In One Place. [instead There Is] The Middle East, Iraq, North Korea, Iran. There's A Relatively Long List That We Believe Are Linked To The Al Qaeda Network In The Philippines, In Indonesia And In Yemen And Other Places.

On Healthcare We Are The Prisoner Of Our Past. The Way We Got To Develop Any Kind Of Medical Insurance Program Was During World War Ii When Companies Facing Shortages Of Workers Began To Offer Healthcare Benefits As An Inducement For Employment.

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. I Do Not Think The United States Government Should Be Stepping In And Making Those Most Personal Of Decisions.

There Is A Great Deal Of Political Pressure To Only Talk About Abstinence, And To Deny Support For Condoms And Education On Using Them. This Policy Will Lead To The Unnecessary Deaths Of Many People.

Many Americans Are Feeling, You Know, Shut Out, Shut Down, The Great Recession Hasn't Ended For Too Many Americans, Wages Are Flat, Families Are Struggling, Not Enough New Jobs, Or New Businesses Are Being Created, And It's Important That We All Try To Figure Out What We're Going To Do, And That's What I've Done My Entire Life, Fighting For A Higher Minimum Wage, Or Family Leave, Now Paid Family Leave Which I Believe In, Equal Pay For Equal Work.

So If We Don't Have Action On The Federal Level That Would Have Set Off The Alert, It Will Be Difficult To Interrupt The Plans Of Someone Like This Who Clearly, By The Time He Went And Purchased These Weapons.

We Believe Strongly That The Road To Peace And Two States Living Side By Side Does Not Go Through New York, It Goes Through Jerusalem And Ramallah.

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.

It Is Not Enough To Preach About Family Values, We Must Value Families.

I Think For A Lot Of Young People There Is A Sense That Maybe The Future Is Not Going To Be Everything It Was Held Out To Be, Especially If They're Coming Out With A Lot Of Student Debt.

When You're Facing A Difficult Issue That You Absolutely Can Do Nothing About - I Can't Fly The Plane; I Can't Change The Weather - Falling Asleep, You'll Either Wake Up And Things Will Be Fine Or You Won't.

Corporations And Businesses [don't] Create Jobs.

I Think People Do Want Change, But We Want To Make Sure That The Change Will Actually Help People. And That's Why I Reject The Change Agenda That Donald Trump Has.

When I Left The Secretary Of State Office, I Had A 69% Approval Rating. Once I Start Running For Office And All The Incoming You Know Is Battering Away, People Are Going To Say, "hey, Wait A Minute - What's That Mean, What's That Mean?" I Get All Of That, But I Don't Think We Do Any Service To Our Country Or The Voters If We Descend Into The Kind Of Insult Fest That He Seems To Relish.

I Was In Civil Society Long Before I Was Ever In Politics Or My Husband Was Ever Even Elected President.

Midterms Are Always Hard. And The Midterm In A Two-term President's Second Term Is Especially Hard.

We Have To Do More To Make It Easier For Parents To Balance Work And Family. If You Left College With A Ton Of Loans, It`s Not Enough Just To Make College More Affordable. You Need Help Right Now With The Debt You Already Have.

We Can Deploy A Half A Billion More Solar Panels.

One Of My Favorite Times Was Sitting Reading Quote Books, Which I Did For Hours On End.

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

Well, I Think, By Definition, All Power Has Limits.

Dynamism Is A Function Of Change.

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.

If You Get Arrested, You`re Supposed To Know Why You`re Arrested. So, Freddie Gray Should Have Known Why He Was Arrested. His Friends, His Family, His Community, They Should Have Known What He Was Charged With, Why He Was Arrested. And The Police Should Have Come Out With That Right Away.

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?

I Think It's Time That The Wealthy And Corporations Paid Their Fair Share To Support This Country.
