'This is painful, and it
will be for a long time. But I want you to remember this. Our campaign was
never about one person... it was about building a country that we love... We
have seen that our country was more deeply divided than we ever thought...'
'We must accept this
result... Donald Trump is going to be our president... we owe him an open mind
and a chance to lead.

values of non-discrimination and the rule of law and equality before the law.

year-and-a-half bringing together millions of people...

Obama. Our country owes you an enormous debt of gratitude. We thank you for
your graceful determined leadership that has meant so much...

Chelsea, Mark Charlotte Aidan.. my love for you means more than I can ever
express. You criss-crossed this country on my behalf and lifted me up when I
needed it most.
“To the talented and
dedicated staff, You poured your hearts into this campaign... you were the best
campaign that anybody could have ever expected or wanted.
“And to the millions of
volunteers, community leaders, activists and union organizers...I want
everybody coming out... and make sure your voices are heard going forward.
'To the donors, the
young people in particular, i've had successes and setbacks,” “Sometimes really
painful.”
“You will have successes
and setbacks too. This loss hurts. But please never stop believing that
fighting for what’s right is worth it.”
'And to all the women..
who put their faith in this campaign and me... I want you to know that nothing
has made me prouder than to be your champion.”
“I know we have still
not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but I know someday
someone will, and hopefully sooner than we might think right now.
“And to all the little
girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable... and deserving
of every chance... to pursue your own dreams.”
“I'm incredibly honored
and grateful to have had this chance.”
“May God bless you and
may God bless the United States of America.”
