The middle class is both real and aspirational. And I want to make sure that it remains strong and it gives people a sense of security and confidence and optimism about their futures.

I have a very positive and optimistic view about what we can do together. That's why the slogan of my campaign is 'Stronger Together.' Because I think if we work together, if we overcome the divisiveness that sometimes sets Americans against one another, and instead we make some big goals - and I've set forth some big goals: Getting the economy to work for everyone, not just those at the top, making sure that we have the best education system from preschool through college, making it affordable, and so much else.

When you have three out of the four largest banks in America today, bigger than they were - significantly bigger than when we bailed them out because they were too big to fail, I think if Teddy Roosevelt were alive today, a good Republican by the way, what he would say is: Break them up; they are too powerful economically; they are too powerful politically.

The tax code rewards corporations for outsourcing jobs, and their profits overseas, instead of investing here in the United States.

I admire President Obama. He inherited the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. That was a terrible time for America.

We Democrats believe in an America where no matter who you are or where you come from, you should have an equal shot at success.

I`m 100 percent impartial. I`m - my responsibility is to manage this primary nominating contest neutrally and fairly.
