Hillary Clinton quotes about
I would not use American ground forces in Syria. I think that would be a very serious mistake. I don't think American troops should be holding territory, which is what they would have to do as an occupying force. I don't think that is a smart strategy.
I think that trade is an important issue. Of course, we are 5 percent of the world's population; we have to trade with the other 95 percent. And we need to have smart, fair trade deals.
I think it's important for people to say look, what does each party and each candidate have to offer for you. If you want a better future that is going to be reliant on making smart economic policies, compare my husband's eight years with Ronald Reagan's eight years. 23 million new jobs, more than seven million people lifted out of poverty.
Let's prove that we're going to stand together, make the smart decisions that will get the economy going and growing for everybody, not just those at the top, that we will stand up against special privilege and special interest.
I will not support putting American soldiers into Iraq as an occupying force. I don't think that is in our interest, and I don't think that would be smart to do. In fact, I think that would be a big red flag waving for ISIS to reconstitute itself.
This is what we call smart power. Using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security. Leaving no one on the sidelines. Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view. Helping to define the problems, determine the solutions.
In most of the USA, the three largest health insurance companies in each state control 80 percent of the market. No wonder premiums are going up.
I see no conflict between saving people's lives and defending the Second Amendment.
We've got to create more good jobs with rising incomes.
We have undocumented immigrants in America who are paying more federal income tax than a billionaire. I find that just astonishing.
Instead of gutting consumer protection, we should be expanding it.
We need some leverage with the Russians, because they are not going to come to the negotiating table for a diplomatic resolution, unless there is some leverage over them.
It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in America.
I thought making speeches for money was a much better thing than getting connected with any one group or company, as so many people who leave public life do.
