It wasn't until 1998 that I ever seriously thought about running for office. And I didn't make up my mind to do that until 1999, and then I ran for the Senate. It was really hard for me.

I think I've been very consistent in my values.

I would like to see more successful business people run for office.

The Republicans can't go after Donald Trump where I think he needs to be criticized.

Nobody should want to wake up on November 9th and wonder whether there was more you could have done.

I believe that what I've worked for - women and children, civil rights against poverty, trying to level the playing field for people to have a better chance - is what I still believe is important and what I'm trying to do today.

I wanna be a president for everyone in America. That's my goal, this what I will do, that's what I've done in my past.
