If you're not out front defining your vision, your opponent will spend gobs of money to define it for you.

The 2000 election exposed some ugly history in our country.

Just got off the phone with my health care provider asking them to explain why my premium jumped up. No good answer!

Dr. [Martin Luther] King led a very historic march here in Washington, D.C. It was a march for jobs and freedom. It was a march to raise expectations that this country could live up to its ideals. I have watched this debate, this conversation [betwin Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump] about bigotry, about racism, I find it all misplaced.

Shirley Chisholm is another one [political hero]. She was a dynamic speaker, and the first black woman to run for President.

Trying to gin up political violence for its electoral utility is - I think inarguably what we're seeing here. And I know that the Donald Trump campaign will not say that is what they're doing.

The nomination of John McCain is another milestone. So whether black, women, or bald, yes we can.
