Most of the strength and the leadership skills and the decisiveness, the resoluteness that I think America was craving from Donald Trump, from a leader, is the same in public as it is in private.

It never came out of [Donald Trump] mouth. He was never like, "Oh, I'm not going to do well among women," or, "I really want to - this would be so kind of cool and new."

Basically I'm the first woman [run a president campaign] - it doesn't get covered a lot because I'm in the wrong party to have done that, and worked for the wrong candidate to have been recognized to do that.

Why is there no mandate? You [Democrats] have lost 60 congressional seats since President [Barack] Obama got there. You lost more than a dozen Senators, a dozen Governors. 1,000 state legislative seats.

[Donald Trump] will be the president of the United States.

I think the big lesson to the political class is stop listening so much to each other, and start listening to the people.

I don't have any special advice for America's women, except to know who you are and to put your priorities in order and to not worry about the naysayers and critics say.
