Is it important that you have a strong leadership for your party? I think it's critical.

I want us to do more to help small business. That's where two- thirds of the new jobs are going to come from.

There is no disagreement between us [with Bernie Sanders ] on universal coverage for health care, the disagreement is where do we start from and where do we end up.

That is what I want to make clear today. A man with a long history of racial discrimination, who traffics in dark conspiracy theories drawn from the pages of supermarket tabloids and the far, dark reaches of the Internet, should never run our government or command our military.

I always supported the women I worked with having time off to go to parent-teacher conferences and doctors' appointments or bringing their infants into the office. I'm a huge supporter of on-site child care. You need much more sensitivity in the workplace to the challenges young women go through in trying to do two very difficult jobs well.

What I am proposing is that we invest from the middle out and the ground up, not the top down. That is not going to work.

I feel like my political beliefs are rooted in the conservatism that I was raised with.
