“Still, we know that people are working harder and longer just to keep their heads above water.

And wages are still too low and ine…”

“And I have spent my adult life working to even the odds for people who’ve had the odds stacked against them.

“But today, I want to talk about what Donald Trump is promising to do to the economy. After more than a year, it’s important that he be held accountable for what he says he’ll do as President.

“Over the years, Donald Trump has said all kinds of things about women in the workforce. He once called pregnant employees — and I quote — ‘an inconvenience.’ He says women will start making equal pay as soon as we do as good a job as men — as if weren’t already. Now these are the words not of someon…”

“After the 2008 crisis, President Obama fought to enact the toughest, most comprehensive set of Wall Street reforms since the Great Depression.

“And beyond that — this election will say something about who we are as a people. Donald Trump believes in the worst of us. He thinks we’re fearful, not confident. That we favor division, not unity; walls, not bridges; and yesterday, not tomorrow. He thinks the only way forward is to go back to a pas…”

“The man who today is the standard bearer of the Republican Party said a federal judge was incapable of doing his job solely because of his heritage.

“In times of crisis, our country depends on steady leadership… clear thinking… and calm judgment… because one wrong move can mean the difference between life and death.

“Of course there’s always been a paranoid fringe in our politics, steeped in racial resentment. But it’s never had the nominee of a major party stoking it, encouraging it, and giving it a national megaphone. Until now. On David Duke’s radio show the other day, the mood was jubilant. ‘We appear to hav…”
