I Would Have To Make An Evaluation Based On The Circumstances At The Time I Took Office As To How Much Help They Continue To Need. Because It's Not Just The Taliban. We Now Are Seeing Outposts Of, You Know, Fighters Claiming To Be Affiliated With Isis.

Donald Trump Can't Even Handle The Rough And Tumble Of A Presidential Campaign. He Loses His Cool At The Slightest Provocation. 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. And In The End, It Comes Down To What Donald Trump Doesn't Get, America Is Great Because America Is Good.

I Have A Different Experience. My Father Was A Small-businessman. He Worked Really Hard. He Printed Drapery Fabrics On Long Tables, Where He Pulled Out Those Fabrics And He Went Down With A Silkscreen And Dumped The Paint In And Took The Squeegee And Kept Going.

Different Experiences

I Have Been Very Consistent Over The Course Of My Entire Life. I Have Always Fought For The Same Values And Principles.

I Know That So Many Of Us Hoped That, By Electing Our First Black President, We Had Turned The Page On This Chapter In Our History. But, Despite Our Best Efforts And Our Highest Hopes, America's Long Struggle With Race Is Far From Finished.

I Have Always Believed That Women Are Not Victims, We Are Agents Of Change, We Are Drivers Of Projects.
