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.

When I was in the Senate, I had a number of trade deals that came before me, and I held them all to the same test. Will they create jobs in America? Will they raise incomes in America? And are they good for our national security? Some of them I voted for.

I have to confess that it's crossed my mind that you could not be a Republican and a Christian.

When I was growing up, my parents always told me that I had to do what I thought was right and not listen to other people. That was hard for me.

I'm fighting for people who cannot wait for changes, and I'm not making promises that I cannot keep.

I'm the most transparent secretary of state because of that. I've been willing to say, "OK, read them [emails] all."

I want a Supreme Court that understands because you're wealthy and you can give more money to something doesn't mean you have any more rights or should have any more rights than anybody else.
