I can only say that I'm certainly relieved that my late father never did business with Donald Trump. He provided a good middle-class life for us, but the people he worked for, he expected the bargain to be kept on both sides.

Stop-and-frisk was found to be unconstitutional and, in part, because it was ineffective. It did not do what it needed to do.

I`m running for president because everyday Americans and their families need a champion, and I want to be that champion. I want to make the words middle class mean something again.

We are the United States of America. And it's our job to rein in the excesses of capitalism so that it doesn't run amok and doesn't cause the kind of inequities we're seeing in our economic system. But we would be making a grave mistake to turn our backs on what built the greatest middle class in the history.

There are rich people everywhere, and yet they don't contribute to the growth of their countries.

Senator [Ben] Sanders and I share some very big progressive goals. I've been fighting for universal healthcare for many years, and we're now on the path to achieving it. I don't want us to start over again. I think that would be a great mistake, to once again plunge our country into a contentious debate about whether we should have and what kind of system we should have for healthcare.

People should and do trust me.
