I believe American corporations that have gotten so much from our country should be just as patriotic in return. Many of them are, but too many aren't. It's wrong to take tax breaks with one hand and give out pink slips with the other. And I believe Wall Street can never, ever be allowed to wreck Main Street again.

We must urgently begin to rebuild the bonds of trust and respect among Americans. Restoring trust in our politics, our press, our markets.

I would love having the job of president because I know how to do it. I know what the country needs.

I've never understood multi-party democracy. It's hard enough with two parties.

We know what Donald Trump has said and what he's done to women. But he also went after a disabled reporter, mocked and mimicked him on national television.

We've got to get back to rebuilding the middle class, the families of America. That's where growth will come from.

When I was a Senator from New York, I represented and worked with so many talented principled people who made their living in finance. But even thought I represented them and did all I could to make sure they continued to prosper, I called for closing the carried interest loophole and addressing skyrocketing CEO pay. I also was calling in '06, '07 for doing something about the mortgage crisis, because I saw every day from Wall Street literally to main streets across New York how a well-functioning financial system is essential.
