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.

The United States Compared To A Number Of Our Competitors Is The Only Government In The World With Any Kind Of Safeguards, Any Kind Of Checks And Balances. They May In Many Respects Need To Be Strengthened And People Need To Be Reassured, And They Need To Have Their Protections Embodied In Law.

Iraq Both Poses A Continuing Threat To The National Security Of The United States And International Peace And Security In The Persian Gulf Region And Remains In Material And Unacceptable Breach Of Its International Obligations By, Among Other Things, Continuing To Possess And Develop A Significant Chemical And Biological Weapons Capability, Actively Seeking A Nuclear Weapons Capability, And Supporting And Harboring Terrorist Organizations.

I Think You Have To Take The Man And Say To Yourself, [donald Trump] Is Someone Who Wants To Occupy The Oval Office, Where Franklin Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, And People Who Were Our President, And I Don't Think It's Just A Woman's Issue.

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.

Senator Obama's Support Among Hardworking Americans - White Americans - Is Weakening.

The Point Is [donald] Trump Goes Way Too Far. He Then Demonizes Muslims - American Muslims. He Wants To Ban All Muslims From Everywhere In The World, Including The New Mayor Of London Who Has Spoken About This From Coming To Our Country.

I'm Going To Continue To Push For A No-fly Zone And Safe Havens Within Syria Not Only To Help Protect The Syrians And Prevent The Constant Outflow Of Refugees, But To, Frankly, Gain Some Leverage On Both The Syrian Government And The Russians So That Perhaps We Can Have The Kind Of Serious Negotiation Necessary To Bring The Conflict To An End And Go Forward On A Political Track.

We Also Have To Recognize, In Addition To The Challenges That We Face With Policing, There Are So Many Good, Brave Police Officers Who Equally Want Reform.

Donald Trump Participated In Something Known As The Empty Box Scam. He Bought $65,000 Worth Of Jewelry From Bulgari Across The Street From Trump Tower, And Had The Record Show That It Was Mailed To Him In An Out-of-state Address. Now, If You're Not A New York Resident, You May Not Have To Pay Sales Tax If The Jewelry Is Mailed To You In Another State. The Problem Is, They Were Empty Boxes. It Was Proven.

God Bless The America We Are Trying To Create.

I Think What Secretary Ash Carter Is Seeing, And I'm Glad He Is, Is That We Got To Get Nato Back Working For The Common Defense. We've Got To Do More To Support Our Partners In Nato, And We Have To Send A Very Clear Message To Putin That This Kind Of Belligerence, That This Kind Of Testing Of Boundaries Will Have To Be Responded To. The Best Way To Do That Is To Put More Armor In, Put More Money From The Europeans In So They're Actually Contributing More To Their Own Defense.

I'm A Proud Product Of The American Middle Class.

Wealthy Women Have Rights In Every Country. And Poor Women Don't.

Today We Voted As Democrats And Republicans. Tomorrow We Begin Again As New Yorkers.

People Like Donald Trump, Who Paid Zero In Taxes, Zero For Our Vets, Zero For Our Military, Zero For Health And Education, That Is Wrong.

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.

Does It Make Any Sense At All That The Chair Of A National Party Would Want Fewer Voters To See Our Candidates?

I Want To Congratulate Senator [bernie] Sanders For The Extraordinary Campaign.... He Has Spent His Long Career In Public Service, Fighting For Progressive Causes And Principles, And He Has Excited Millions Of Voters, Especially Young People.

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

We Know That Donald Trump Has Shown A Very Troubling Willingness To Back Up [vladimir] Putin, To Support Putin, Whether It's Saying That Nato Wouldn't Come To The Rescue Of Allies If They Were Invaded, Talking About Removing Sanctions From Russian Officials After They Were Imposed By The United States And Europe Together, Because Of Russia's Aggressiveness In Crimea And Ukraine, His Praise For Putin Which Is I Think Quite Remarkable.

On Some Campuses, Change Is Effected Through Nonviolent Or Even Violent Means.

People Make Mistakes And I'm Certainly Not Saying You [bernie Sanders] Did It For Any Kind Of Financial Advantage.

I Prepared To Be President. And I Think That's A Good Thing.

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 Have Written A Book It's Called "stronger Together."

I Think What President [barack] Obama Has Done Is To Chart A Steady Course. When I Was There, The First Four Years We Had A Lot Of Cleanup To Do. We Inherited A Lot Of Bad Feelings From The [george W.] Bush Administration, And Much Of What I Spent My Time Doing Was Traveling Around The World Reassuring Friends And Allies.

Recently In Washington, Unfortunately, We Have Seen Examples Of The Wrong Kind Of Leadership -- When Politicians Choose Scorched Earth Over Common Ground, When They Operate In What I Call The 'evidence-free Zone,' With Ideology Trumping Everything Else.

The Worst Part Of What We Heard Donald [trump] Say Has Been About Nuclear Weapons. He Has Said Repeatedly That He Didn't Care If Other Nations Got Nuclear Weapons, Japan, South Korea, Even Saudi Arabia. It Has Been The Policy Of The United States, Democrats And Republicans, To Do Everything We Could To Reduce The Proliferation Of Nuclear Weapons.

I Am Not Going To Wait And Have Us Plunge Back Into A Contentious National Debate That Has Very Little Chance Of Succeeding. Let's Make The Affordable Care Act Work For Everybody.

Affordable Care Act

A Man You Can Bait With A Tweet Is Not A Man We Can Trust With Nuclear Weapons.

Never Waste A Good Crisis...don't Waste It When It Can Have A Very Positive Impact On Climate Change And Energy Security.

I Intend To Defeat Isis, To Do So In A Coalition With Majority Muslim Nations.

What Difference, At This Point, Does It Make?

I'm Very Proud And Grateful To Have The Support Of So Many Elected Vermonters And Former Officials. Two Former Governors, The Current Governor, The Current Other Senator. I Really Appreciate That.and I Think It's Because They've Worked With Me, They've Seen What I Do. They Know What Kind Of A Colleague I Am. They Want Me As Their Partner In The White House. And That's Exactly What I Will Do.

Women Can't Be Charged More Than Men For Our Health Insurance.

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.

Tonight, We Can Say With Pride That, In America, There Is No Barrier Too Great And No Ceiling Too High To Break.

There Is No Question In My Mind That If We Summon Our Resources, Both Our Leadership Resources And All Of The Tools At Our Disposal, Not Just Military Force, Which Should Be Used As A Last Resort, But Our Diplomacy, Our Development Aid, Law Enforcement, Sharing Of Intelligence In A Much More Open And Cooperative Way. We Can Bring People Together, But It Cannot Be An American Fight.

It's Not Right That Donald Trump Can Ignore His Debts, But Students And Families Can't Refinance Theirs.

Most Of The Gains In The Last Years Since The Great Recession Have Gone To The Very Top. So We Are Going To Have The Wealthy Pay Their Fair Share. We're Going To Have Corporations Make A Contribution Greater Than They Are Now To America.

Look At What I've Done My Entire Life. I Have Been Working On Behalf Of Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Human Rights For Years And I Know How Challenging It Is To Change Our Political System And I Have The Highest Regard For Those Who Have Put Themselves On The Line.

If You Look At Countries That Are Comparable, Like Switzerland Or Germany, For Example, They Have Mixed Systems. They Don't Have Just A Single-payer System, But They Have Very Clear Controls Over Budgeting And Accountability.

I Have Long Been In Favor Of States And Cities Within States Making Up Their Own Minds Whether Or Not They Want To Permit Fracking. I Have Been Supportive Of That.

I Think When Somebody's Out In The Public Eye, That's What They Do. So I'm Fully Comfortable With Who I Am, What I Stand For, And What I've Always Stood For.

We Need To Make It Very Clear - Whether It's Russia, China, Iran Or Anybody Else - The United States Has Much Greater Capacity. And We Are Not Going To Sit Idly By And Permit State Actors To Go After Our Information, Our Private-sector Information Or Our Public-sector Information.

When It Comes To Foreign Policy, It Is Important To Remember That Politics Stops At The Water's Edge.

It Is Important To Recognize The Limited Ability Of The Legal System To Prescribe And Enforce The Quality Of Social Arrangements.

I Don't Think We Need To Have An Either/or Debate About The Use Of Military Force - I Think You Can Be Both Tough And Smart.

I Don't Believe That People Vote For President Based On Spouses. I Don't Even Think They Vote Much Based On Vice Presidents Or Any Other Factor. I Think They Choose Between The Two People Who Are Running.

I'm Sick And Tired Of People Who Say That If You Debate And Disagree With This Administration, Somehow You're Not Patriotic, And We Should Stand Up And Say, "we Are Americans And We Have The Right To Debate And Disagree With Any Administration!"

I Don't Think Feminism, As I Understand The Definition, Implies The Rejection Of Maternal Values, Nurturing Children, Caring About The Men In Your Life. That Is Just Nonsense To Me.

I Am Not Taking A Position On Any Policy, But I Do Think There Is A Growing Sense Of Anxiety And Even Anger In America Over The Feeling That The Game Is Rigged. And I Never Had That Feeling When I Was Growing Up. Never.

That Was Our Objective. We Achieved It.
