Let's start with protecting taxpayers and making sure we have more fairness in the system.

Presidents should be very careful at all times in discussing the use or non-use of nuclear weapons. Presidents since the cold war have used nuclear deterrence to keep the peace, and I don't believe that any president should make any blanket statements with respect to the use or non-use of nuclear weapons.

We have to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top. That means we need new jobs, good jobs, with rising incomes.

I'm really looking forward to both meeting with Sen. [Bernie] Sanders as soon as our campaign teams find a time that works for both of us and talking with him about how we are going to defeat Donald Trump and then how the goals that he and I share can be achieved.

Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat.

Politics is like sausage being made. It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be.

I'm very proud and grateful to have the support of so many elected Vermonters and former officials. Two former governors, the current governor, the current other senator. I really appreciate that.And I think it's because they've worked with me, they've seen what I do. They know what kind of a colleague I am. They want me as their partner in the White House. And that's exactly what I will do.
