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.

I would hope that the Senate would do its job and confirm the nominee that President [Barack] Obama has sent to them. That's the way the Constitution fundamentally should operate. The president nominates, and then the Senate advises and consents, or not, but they go forward with the process.

It takes a village to raise a child.

If we repeal [ Barack Obama's health care law] as Donald [Trump] has proposed, all of those benefits I have mentioned are lost to everybody...and then we will have to start all over again.

I care a lot about Colorado. I consider it a state that is helping to shape the future.

I did it as first lady, I did it as a senator, I did it as secretary of state, and I know how hard it is. It's not something you do once or twice and then throw your hands up because it is grinding work. But it is necessary work. 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.

The people of New York took a big chance on me. And I'm well aware of that.
