“This is not a 'reopening' of the email investigation. As a technical matter, it was never closed. Comey letter was sent to Hill 'out of an abundance of caution' to be extra thorough. There is no sense that any of this was due to withholding of evidence. New emails discovered on 'another device.' Whi…”— Pete Williams, twitter.com
“I need to open with a very critical breaking news announcement. The FBI has just sent a letter to Congress informing them that they have discovered new emails pertaining to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s investigation […] I have great respect for the fact that the FBI and DOJ are now wi…”— Donald Trump, donaldjtrump.com
“But what do the polls say? The race probably is tightening — but perhaps not as much as the hype on the cable networks would imply. In our polls-only forecast, Trump has narrowed Clinton’s lead in the popular vote to roughly 6 percentage points from 7 points a week ago, and his chances of winning ha…”— Nate Silver, fivethirtyeight.com
“Pretty much everyone has an incentive to push the narrative that the presidential race is tightening. The television networks would like for you to keep tuning in to their horse-race coverage. Hillary Clinton’s campaign would like for you to turn out to vote, instead of getting complacent. Donald Tr…”— Nate Silver, fivethirtyeight.com
“And I promise you this. Together we’re going to prove that we can make the future what it should be for all of you; that there is a positive, optimistic, confident America out there; that America’s best days are ahead of us, not the dark and divisive vision of my opponent, but one in keeping with wh…”— Hillary Clinton, dispatch.com
“Trump even had the nerve – this is what kills me about him – he even had the nerve to brag about how American steel will send new skyscrapers soaring. And the whole time he was hiding the truth. Hiding the fact that he chose to buy illegally-dumped Chinese steel instead of American steel. You know,…”— Hillary Clinton, dispatch.com
“What that meant was Trump paid zero, zero for the military, zero for our vets, zero for Pell Grants to help a lot of you afford college and get through college. And then he did something that, in retrospect, seemed both odd and not very smart. He brought in Warren Buffett. He said, ‘Well, everybody…”— Hillary Clinton, dispatch.com
“And please, never forget America is great because America is good, and if we deviate, if we deviate from our fundamental values – and that’s indeed the kind of campaign my opponent has run. He has said he would order our men and women in uniform to commit war crimes. He has said he would impose a re…”— Hillary Clinton, dispatch.com
“We don’t have to make America great. We’ve got to do what we can to make sure it remains great and it becomes greater because we keep broadening that circle of opportunity.”— Hillary Clinton, dispatch.com
“You know what’s at stake, but you also know what you believe. And you don’t want someone who says that he’s going to appoint Supreme Court justices who will reverse marriage equality; who will – who will keep Citizens United, one of the worst decisions ever made, that allowed dark, unaccountable mon…”— Hillary Clinton, dispatch.com
“Yes, [Trump] has insulted and demeaned women; we’ve seen it over and over again. But he has targeted others as well. He’s disrespected and denigrated African Americans and Latinos, Muslims and POWs, people with disabilities and immigrants. He is an equal-opportunity insulter if there ever was one. T…”— Hillary Clinton, dispatch.com
“When I think about the challenges that we’re facing, I don’t think any one person has all the answers. I think we have to listen to each other and respect each other and celebrate our diversity, because that makes us smarter as well as stronger.”— Hillary Clinton, dispatch.com
“I want to be a president for all Americans. I think the American dream is big enough for everybody. And I am honored to have support, not just from Democrats, but from independents and Republicans, because we’ve got to pull this country together if we’re going to move into the future together, creat…”— Hillary Clinton, dispatch.com
“Everywhere I go in this country, all I see is untapped potential waiting to be set free. And the biggest element of all is our incredible people — the people of this country. They’re just waiting. They’re waiting and waiting, and I think maybe now their time has come.”— Donald Trump, time.com
“There is nothing we cannot accomplish. The United States is great. It’s great. Its people are great. There is no task or project too great. There is no dream outside of our reach. Don’t ever let anyone tell you it can’t be done. The future lies with the dreamers, not the cynics and the critics.”— Donald Trump, time.com
“I’m tired of the excuses from our politicians. I’m tired of being told what cannot be done. I’m tired of people asking Americans to defer their dreams to another day, but really what they mean is to another decade. Enough waiting. The time is now. We can achieve our goals for this country and we can…”— Donald Trump, time.com
“I’ve been very lucky and I’ve led a great life. Now, I want to give back to the country which I love so much and has been so good to me. I want to go into the inner cities, the poorer rural communities, and the failing schools and I want to work with a national plan of revitalization.”— Donald Trump, time.com
“My job is to look at undeveloped spaces and imagine what they could be. These are spaces that have no hope, have no future, but you need imagination and you need the ability to get them done and to unlock their potential and to unlock the potential of the people working on those spaces and on those…”— Donald Trump, time.com
“And now, it was just announced yesterday that Obamacare is in free fall, with premiums going up massively in places like the great state of Arizona, going up over 100 percent in cost. Unaffordable, unusable and doesn’t work, even if you can afford it. The American people know what this election is a…”— Donald Trump, time.com
