March 10:
"I won't drop out because I think it would send the wrong message to women and children and people all across America." - Hillary Clinton
"If Hillary had won 15 states in a row, every single news organization would have called it for her. Because it's him, he gets a free pass, and they know they oughta give it to her cause they know she's right. And he's wrong. But Hillary's still in it, and if she wins Pennsylvania, even by a small margin, she has the chance of being the nominee." - Bill Clinton

"Hillary is going to be the nominee whether she wins it or no. And that's final. Cause it's not up to you. That's right. It's up to the Chinese. And the Russians. My friends.

What I say goes, and we Clinton's are going back to the White House cause it's Hillary's turn." - Bill Clinton
