“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 learne…”— Hillary Clinton, facebook.com
“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.”— Hillary Clinton, facebook.com
“I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone’s getting dressed and ready and everything else...And you know, no men are anywhere. And I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant. And therefore I’m inspecting it. [...] Is everyone okay? You know they’re standing there with no clothes.…”— Donald Trump, washingtonpost.com

“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…”— The Salt Lake Tribune, sltrib.com
“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.”— The Salt Lake Tribune, sltrib.com
“Yes, there are flaws and concerns, as there would be with anyone who has danced in the minefield of public life for 40 years.

B…”— The Salt Lake Tribune, sltrib.com
“[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.”— The Salt Lake Tribune, sltrib.com
“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…”— The Salt Lake Tribune, sltrib.com
“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.

Or, more accurately, to pull America back to a day that was special only…”— The Salt Lake Tribune, sltrib.com
“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.”— The Salt Lake Tribune, sltrib.com
“Rumors have been circulating for months that Trump’s back-up plan if he loses in November will be to start a media network catered to his voter base.”— Rebecca Shapiro, huffingtonpost.com

“All this heavy breathing seems more locker room-esque than anything #debate”— Blake Griffin, twitter.com
“'Grab them by the pussy' isn't talk from any locker room I've ever been in. It's a Ted Bundy quote. #debate2016”— CM Punk, twitter.com
“Claiming Trump's comments are 'locker room banter' is to suggest they are somehow acceptable. They aren't.”— Dahntay Jones, twitter.com
