When Donald Trump says, "Let's make America great again," that is code for let's take America backward. Back to a time when opportunity and dignity were reserved for some, not all. Back to the days when abortion was illegal, women had far fewer options, and life for too many women and girls was limited. Well, Donald, those days are over.

I would say to the new leadership the American people are ready to meet you if you move forward toward the path of democracy.

I want to invest in community colleges, training programs, and high-quality apprenticeships that help people gain the skills they need for the jobs of the future.

There are those who offer themselves as leaders who even play politics with a nomination of our nations chief law enforcement officer, finally, Loretta Lynch will be able to assume the position she has trained her lifetime for.

I hope the fact-checkers are turning up the volume and really working hard. Donald [Trump] supported the invasion of Iraq.

I think that's why I'm so well-suited to this time, because I think the values reflect really profound American values, and I think my agenda would be the best way to really get Americans once again to feel more confident and more optimistic about our future and deliver results, which I think is what it's about.

Remember that movie Independence Day, where invaders were coming from outer space and the whole world was united against the invasion? Why can't we be united on behalf of our planet? And that's what I want to do.
