Former U.S. Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton formally kicked off her 2016 campaign for president with a speech before thousands on NYC's Roosevelt Island.
Just a few lines that got major response from the crowd:
"I may not be the youngest candidate in this race, but I will be the youngest WOMAN President in American history!"
"We Americans are at our best when we pick each other up and we have each other's back."
"Americans are problem-solvers... We don't run from change, we harness the power of change."
“In America, every family should feel like they belong. So we should offer hard-working, law-abiding immigrant families a path to citizenship. Not second-class status."
"And, we should ban discrimination against LGBT Americans and their families so they can live, learn, marry, and work just like everybody else.”
Speaking of the Republican candidates:
“They want to put immigrants, who work hard and pay taxes, at risk of deportation, and they turn their backs on gay people who love each other.”
And this light-hearted line:
"You won't see my hair go grey in the White House. I've been coloring it FOR YEARS."
Watch the speech below. Go Hillary!
