• I did not know in the beginning how important the trip would be but we knew that Iran was in the crosshairs of the Neo-Conservative movement.

And you know, it's fairly stupid.

• Every presidential candidate for decades has released his tax returns, and I've released 33 years of my tax returns. The American people deserve to know about our taxes. And so Donald Trump is standing in the way of precedent that goes back on both sides of aisle Democrats and Republicans, and he clearly has something that he doesn't want us to see.

• You have Hillary Clinton who has called black teens or black kids super predators, you have Donald Trump who's openly racist.

• We also need to make sure women can be in charge of their reproductive health. We can't defund places like Planned Parenthood, where women can go for all kinds of healthcare services. While reproductive rights span much further than the pro-life/pro-choice debate, Donald Trump has actually said he wants to "punish" women for having abortions. And Mike Pence is quite possibly the most anti-choice vice presidential candidate in history.
