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.
Let's start with protecting taxpayers and making sure we have more fairness in the system.
I'm not going to be responding to [Donald Trump].
I have pretty thick skin. I've been in the arena a long time, and that means that I am not going to get down with [Donald Trump] and go insult for insult.
Donald Trump abuses his power, games the system, puts his own interests ahead of the country's.
While Donald Trump was busy with his accountants trying to figure out how to keep living like a billionaire, and all the while he was using his political connections to collect hundreds of millions of dollars in government subsidies and extra tax breaks for his companies. In other words, Trump was taking from America with both hands, and leaving the rest of us with the bill.
Every political contest is hard, that's part of the DNA in America. We make it really tough to run for and hold the highest and hardest job in our country.
We can have enough clean energy to power every home.
[Donald Trump] suggestions that the United States should leave the Pacific and let Japan, South Korea, or whoever else wants to develop nuclear weapons. These are incredibly dangerous ideas that need to be confronted.
The USA won't be competitive or fair if we don't help more families give their kids the best possible start in life.
I will go anywhere, anytime, to meet with anyone to find common ground.
It was during George W. Bush's presidency that Iran mastered the nuclear fuel cycle, that they built covert facilities, that they stocked them with centrifuges, that they were spinning merrily away toward getting a nuclear-weapons program.
I am not somebody who just says let's beat up on the bad guys. No. I want to summon the good guys and give people the incentives and opportunities to actually grow this economy, put more people to work, get the middle class really feeling like they're back in business.
I believe strongly that we need a finance industry that is good for the economy, and I don't think anybody would argue that during the eight years leading up to the Great Recession, a lot of bets were made [and] risks taken that weren't good for the economy.
