Quotes tagged “Hillary Clinton”

“Ms. Clinton, in other words, is dogged, resilient, purposeful and smart. Unlike Mr. Clinton or Mr. Bush when they ascended, she knows Washington; unlike Mr. Obama when he ascended, she has executive experience. She does not let her feelings get in the way of the job at hand. She is well positioned to get something done.”
— The Washington Post, Hillary Clinton for president

“It is fair to read Ms. Clinton’s career as a series of learning experiences that have prepared her well for such an environment. As first lady, she failed when she tried to radically remake the American health-care system. Instead of retreating, she reentered the fray to help enact a more modest but important reform expanding health-care access to poor children.”

“If progress is possible, it will be incremental and achieved with input from members of both parties. Eloquence and charm may matter less than policy chops and persistence.”

“What hope is there for progress in such an environment — for a way out of the gridlock that frustrates so many Americans? The temptation is to summon a ‘revolution,’ as her chief primary opponent imagined, or promise to blow up the system, as Mr. Trump posits. Both temptations are dead ends, as Ms. Clinton understands.”

“We recognize that many Americans distrust and dislike Ms. Clinton. The negative feelings reflect in part the bitter partisanship of the nation’s politics today; in part the dishonest attacks she has been subjected to for decades; and in part her genuine flaws, missteps and weaknesses.”

“Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is dreadful, that is true — uniquely unqualified as a presidential candidate. If we believed that Ms. Clinton were the lesser of two evils, we might well urge you to vote for her anyway — that is how strongly we feel about Mr. Trump. But we would also tell you that was our judgment.

Fortunately, it is not.”

“In the gloom and ugliness of this political season, one encouraging truth is often overlooked: There is a well-qualified, well-prepared candidate on the ballot. Hillary Clinton has the potential to be an excellent president of the United States, and we endorse her without hesitation.”

“The American dream is really premised on people coming together to lift each other up — nobody, nobody makes it alone. Everybody has somebody who helps them along the way.”

“I got into this work so many years ago. I went to work for the Children's Defense Fund right out of law school. I spent my time trying to figure out how to even the odds for all kids. And the reason I did that was because of my own mother.

I didn't know it when I was just a little girl, but I learned as I got older that my mother was abandoned and neglected by her parents, and pretty much left on her own, then, at the age of 8, holding her three-year-old sister's hand she was put on a train by themselves to live with grandparents. And it turned out, the grandparents didn't really want her either and so by the age of 14, she was working in a house as a maid and a babysitter.

But here's what I want you to know. It sounds pretty harsh, it was difficult, but it made a profound impression on her life. I think my mom who lived to the wonderful age of 92, and I don't think a day went by that she didn't think of being abandoned and being sent away and pretty much left on her own.

But, along the way people were kind to her. People helped her. The first grade teacher who brought lunch for her every day because my mom never had any. The woman whose house she went to work in all those years ago knew my mother wanted to go to high school so she said to her, 'Dorothy, I know you want to go to high school. If you get up early and get all your chores done, you can go to high school. Now you'll have to come right back home.'

That might sound kind of unfortunate, but for my mom it was a gift, because she really wanted to go to high school. So my mother always cared about other people, and she taught me in every way she could that nobody, nobody is better than anybody else. And we need to show each other more kindness and support, and the last thing we need in our country is more bullies making people feel bad about themselves and pushing people away.

We should be drawing people toward us, creating the kind of future we want for all of our children. That's what I think about if I am so fortunate to become President. I think about waking up in the White House every morning trying to figure out what I can do to help someone else.”

“When I think about this election, I think about my grandchildren a lot. There's nothing I wouldn't do for them. I like to say Facetime was invented for grandparents! I wonder, what kind of lives are they going to have, and what kind of country is going to be waiting for them.”

“Utah Republicans were perceptive enough to reject Trump in their March presidential caucus voting.

Were they to support Clinton now, even by the narrowest of pluralities, it would send a strong message to the Republican Party to turn their backs on Trumpism and to work with Clinton where they can, rather than devote themselves to blocking her every move.”

“[Trump's campaign] was designed to inflame a vocal minority of us who haven't adjusted to the fact that the America where white males brought home the bacon from secure factory jobs — and didn't have to deal with a globe of different ethnic backgrounds — is gone for good.”

“Trump's outsider candidacy did at least start out with some good intentions. He was more willing to challenge the GOP's religious right, and he took a more critical view of the last Republican presidency than other candidates. He also avoided special-interest money, making it easier for him to take on issues like campaign finance and too big to fail without being beholden.

But, as it played out, his entire campaign was based on divisive, bigoted and insulting rhetoric. On lies about how bad things are. On a promise to fix things by basically being a dictator.”

“If she is elected, Clinton would be well advised to be much more transparent and to wall herself and her administration off from the influence of lobbyists.”

“Yes, there are flaws and concerns, as there would be with anyone who has danced in the minefield of public life for 40 years.

Clinton can be disturbingly secretive and has made a few big errors, the most significant being her use of a private email server during her tenure at the State Department. But the FBI says it has cleared her of any criminal wrongdoing and she has repeatedly admitted that she was wrong to leave all that sensitive information in such a vulnerable spot.”

“[Hillary's] secret plan to reform health care in America during her husband's administration fell incompetently apart. But she learned from that experience and, as a senator, worked across party lines to extend health insurance to millions of children.”

“This election presents the two most unpopular candidates in recent history. One has developed a reputation for secrecy and dishonesty. The other built a campaign on insults and bigoted statements, finally losing any right to be taken seriously with the recent release of a video in which he was heard to brag about his ability to get away with sexually assaulting women.

There is certainly not a perfect choice but, at this point, the only candidate who comes close to being qualified and fit for the post is Hillary Clinton.”

“There is no question that there are many Americans who feel lost and confused about a world that, in their eyes, has left them behind. Significant numbers of people have expressed a desire to blow up the system and start over.

Or, more accurately, to pull America back to a day that was special only in that it placed white males alone at the top of the power pyramid.”

“It is time to get serious.

It has been amusing, to a degree, to watch the circus that was the Republican primary process struggle and fuss and finally produce such a disappointment to be its presidential nominee.”

“A Presidential candidate saying that his opponent should be behind bars—and will be, if he has anything to do with it—may be new and shocking in a Presidential debate. But it is not new in this campaign. It is, indeed, one of the most regular features of Trumpism [...] The jail threat is jarring, in part, because it reflects what Trump understands the power of the President to be: he gets to lock her up.”
