The American public will be clear on who's most fit to be president. And that's Hillary Clinton.Collection: President
Hillary Clinton has that, a passion to empower families and kids, and a desire to measure health of society by how families and kids are doing. You can see this from her service as a lawyer, first lady of Arkansas, and United States senator, and secretary of state.Collection: Passion
The national security issues are a really good window into the character of the person that somebody wants to have as commander in chief.Collection: Character
Hillary Clinton has a long track record of service in public life. And you can look at that. I tell the story about her being first lady of the United States, when the effort to get Hillary Clinton done failed, and that was a tough, tough, bitter loss, but then it tested her as a leader. And she worked together with Democrats and Republicans to get health insurance for eight million low-income American children in the CHIP program.Collection: Children

There are a series of connections between Donald Trump and his closest advisers and Russia that at least raise significant questions. Some of those questions could be answered if Donald Trump was willing to release his tax returns, but he's unwilling to do that.Collection: Russia

Hillary Clinton has held vast dreams. She was inspired at a young age that society does well when women and children do.Collection: Dream
I am extremely energized to be in the Senate, because the Senate is the only emergency brake on the Trump train right now. And we have to use that emergency brake in a smart way to keep him from hurting our country, our reputation, our values, and our citizens.Collection: Country
I think if you do term limits, you would really increase the power of lobbying.Collection: Thinking
The permanent institutional expertise class is now no longer the legislators, it's the lobbyists who don't have term limits and are there forever.Collection: Class
I was a Democratic governor with two Republican houses.Collection: Two
I think there's going to be an obligation to show that Trumpism is not a complete equivalent for GOP.Collection: Thinking

You spend your time blaming the other for what's not getting done and you actually do a couple things, and then you switch to, "Hey, let's instead compete about who gets the credit for what we just did." And that's a lot more fun.Collection: Couple

Nations that pay for outcomes and health actually spend a lower percentage of GDP, and they have better outcomes. And so the Affordable Care Act is starting to make that migration, but we've got to keep down that path, and we'll improve outcomes and reduce cost.Collection: Gdp
Senate has to advise and consent. That doesn't mean you have to vote yes; you can vote no. It's not a rubber stamp. But what these guys are doing is, "Wait a minute, we don't have to vote yes or no, and maybe we can trick our voters into not holding us accountable for not voting yes or no."Collection: Mean
If somebody comes before me and I think that they will do a good job in fulfilling the mission - even if I might not have nominated them - if I think they're gonna do a good job, I vote for 'em.Collection: Jobs
I'm not going to change my religious practice to get one vote, but I know how to take an oath and uphold the law, and if you elect me I will uphold the law.Collection: Religious
