Do you believe that — vice president biden is — has made it very clear he’s looking at getting in. how does it change the race if he gets in?

But for you to — you’re saying that you weren’t aware that they were doing this and you don’t approve of it, but the fact that they’re doing it, isn’t that really an effort to intimidate the vice president against getting into the race?

Well — and just continuing in that vein, the david brock group, it’s been reported this week in new york magazine, is digging through vice president biden’s past, his record, in so-called opposition research. my question is do you approve of this?

Would you call on them to cease and desist and stop criticizing senator sanders?

You have said there are super-pacs out there in this campaign, as everybody is aware, you’ve said that the super-pac that’s out there supporting you, at least one of them, that they are there really to criticize republicans. but — and you’ve said you can’t unilaterally disarm, but one of the pacs that’s supporting you is now attacking senator sanders. it’s connecting him to the — to the late venezuelan dictator jugo chavez, to the new, very liberal labor leader in great britain. i guess my question is is do you approve of this? going after senator sanders by the super-pac? we know there’s coordination.

But isn’t that a contrast — are you saying that’s a contrast with senator sanders?

Let me bring you back home to the subject of guns and gun control in the aftermath of this terrible shooting at the community college in oregon. this week, you came out for tightening controls on guns and you talked about what you would do differently. is this really laying out the defining difference between you and senator sanders when it comes to gun control?

So doesn’t that add up to misreading what was going on?

But putin was always in the background.

You’ve dealt with president putin. you favored the so-called “re-set” with russia in 2009. my question is: did you and others in the administration misread putin and underestimate what he was capable of doing?

But if it came to it, it could come to shooting down russian planes, if they’re in that no-fly zone.

What do you mean “action taken”?

Would you be prepared to shoot down russian planes if they flew into this no-fly area?

Something else on foreign policy — syria. you came out and have said you would favor the idea of a no-fly — setting up a no-fly zone to protect refugees and others. but in talking to experts, they say in order to do that, you’d have to take out syria’s air defenses, most of which, or at least much of which are in urban areas. in other words, you would have to go into an area with huge civilian casualties in order to set up this no-fly zone. is that something you’re prepared to take on?

You’ve commented on what kevin mccarthy said about the political nature of this committee, but what do you expect from chairman trey gowdy when those hearings get under way on october 22nd?

Just one other question on this. why wouldn’t it have been better at the very beginning of all this to simply say I did this, I wanted a private server because i’ve been through this kind of thing before. I didn’t want republican congressmen rifling through my personal e-mails.wouldn’t that have done away with the controversy, done away with people now saying they don’t trust you?

But the first request came to you alone in response to the committee, and I guess glenn kessler’s point is that this was the indication that the state department did not realize before that that you were conducting government business on your — solely on your private server.

Your private e-mail server. the washington post fact checker, glen kessler wrote this weekend that when you speak publicly about how you handle the disclosure requests, you don’t include the fact that the first request came just to you from the state department, based on the congressional inquiry. you have referred to it came at a time when all former secretaries of state were asked for information.

Just very quickly, you mentioned the middle class. you’ve said you favor middle-class tax cuts. my question is, would yours be bigger or smaller than what the republicans have put out there? donald trump is out there with a plan. jeb bush is out there with a plan. what would yours look like? are you ready to say?

But just quickly, if this agreement is rejected, asia experts are saying this is going to influence — it’s going to decrease the influence of the u.s. in asia, it is going to give a boost to china, which is trying to become more dominant, and doesn’t it conflict with your pivot to asia when you were secretary of state?

So is president obama wrong? I mean, he’s vigorously descending this. he is saying that is does protect jobs. he says that when it comes to worrying about jobs that automation and technology are more responsible than trade agreements.

So are you saying that as of today, this is not something you could support?

The trans-pacific partnership. the u.s. and 11 other countries covering 40 percent of the global economy, 800 million consumers. it’s already started a big battle between people who love free trade and people who care more about protectionism. where do you come down?

Hello from south africa! saturday was nelson mandela's birthday. did you learn anything from your friendship with mandela that you have / would like to incorporate into your life or into your advice for others? thanks hillary and wishing you all the best with your campaign.

Hillary this will be my daughters first time voting for a president what will you say to her and all first time voters to inspire them to come out and vote and to let them know not to loose hope in this great country of ours. certainly things do not look to bright these days

Your aides said today that you are evaluating a proposal to incentivize more long term investing by altering the capital gains tax. the proposal includes increasing the tax on short term investments from 24% to more than 28%. in 2008, you said you would not raise the capital gains rate above 20%. why the change?

All serious questions aside, do you have a favorite pantsuit to wear. being an avid follower for years, there have been quite a few to cross those public forum stages. surely you have to have a favorite.

Do you like to karaoke? I would like to invite you to our karaoke night on dickson street in your old town of fayetteville arkansas.

Political things aside, grandma feelings.... how does it feel to be a gma?

Are you going to make it easier for immigrants to have a pathway to citizenship?

Hello hillary! you discussed accountability on wall street in last week's speech. it seems like we're constantly seeing stories in the news about misconduct on wall street, but no one is ever held accountable. what would you do to change it?

So many students, like myself, watch our student debt grow, and grow, and grow. I have so much debt and although I do pay every month, i'll be dead for decades before it could ever possibly be paid off. what are you going to do - or at least try to do - to curb the burden of student debt. we are young and we just want to live our lives without struggling every month because of the enormous student debt looming over us. thank you for your time, sec. clinton. I look forward to your response.

Every morning, as my boyfriend zips out the door and I spend 30+ minutes getting ready, I wonder about how the "hair and makeup tax" affects other women — especially ones I admire in high-pressure, public-facing jobs. I know these questions can seem fluffy, but as a young professional woman, i'd genuinely love to hear about how you manage getting ready each morning (especially during your time traveling as secretary of state and now on the campaign trail) while staying focused on the "real" work ahead of you that day.

Many jobs are going to be displaced by automation. others may look quite different in a "gig economy," as you have recognized. would you support a negative income tax? what about flexible benefits, like workers compensation or unemployment insurance, that are independent of any given employer, similar to the the model of the affordable care act?

You chose not to speak at netroots nation this weekend, two of your democratic primary rivals did -- both were interrupted by black lives matter protesters, who asked: "as the leader of this nation, will you advance a racial justice agenda that will dismantle -- not reform, not make progress -- but will begin to dismantle structural racism in the united states?" how would you have answered?

And you’ve mentioned there have been seven or eight benghazi committees, this is the first to actually to discover and find your emails. was that a public service?

Do you think it should be disbanded? that’s what nancy pelosi has called for.

You mentioned your republican rivals making hay of this. I have to ask you if the tables were turned and it was dick cheney or karl rove who had a private email account and a private server on which they conducted all their government business, would you be as understanding?

It’s allowed but you know this and anyone who works in government knows it’s really not encouraged to use your personal email and I just – do you get how bad it looks? it looks like you set up your personal, you set up your own email so that you would have control of those emails and you and you alone would decide when to release them, whether to release them. and in fact, that is what happened.

Let’s talk about your favorite subject – the email controversy. I think i’ve read every single thing you’ve ever said about it as I was researching for this interview. and I have to tell you I see two things. on the one hand you’ve said sorry and you’ve apologized for the confusion that it creates. on the other hand sometimes you say it’s the work of your republican rivals going after you, it’s the same old partisan attacks. I guess my question to you is which is it? if you’re blaming the republicans, some might wonder how genuine is that apology.

Finally, president barack obama praised the famous “porches of charleston” as a memory he holds from his road to the white house here. do you have a favorite image of south carolina?

The charleston area is becoming home to some big industries, landing the boeing jet plant and the volvo vehicle plant in recent times. but organized labor is under attack here, including from republican gov. nikki haley. do you advocate union organization in plants such as these?

Vermont sen. bernie sanders so far has emerged as your leading rival. he will be here sunday. there seems to be a surge from the democratic party left. how will you react to that?

Have you reached out and discussed the campaign with democrat u.s. rep. jim clyburn? he’s a big asset you need in this state. (clyburn hasn’t endorsed in the field.)

In 2008 you didn’t fare so well against barack obama in south carolina, where he got 55 percent of the turnout to your 27 percent in the democratic primary. it was a pretty heated outcome that drew racial overtones. what have you learned since then and do you have to mend fences with african-americans here?

South carolina republican u.s. rep. trey gowdy is leading the house probe of the benghazi diplomatic attack in what many see as a review with partisan goals. do you consider this politically driven, or do you respect the process his committee is going through?

The piece that’s most important, and I stand here in your space, and I say this as respectfully as I can, but you don’t tell black people what we need to know. and we won’t tell you all what you need to do.

I think that the next step, respectfully, and I have attempted to allow you, and I feel like we have allowed space for a nice conversation and it is a pleasure and an honor to be in this dialogue with you but I think that a huge part of what you haven’t said is that you have offered a recognition that mass incarceration has not worked, and that it is an unfortunate consequence of government practices that just didn’t work. but the truth is that there is an extremely long history of unfortunate government practices that don’t work that particularly affect black people and black families, and until we as a country, and then the person who’s in the seat that you seek, actually addresses the anti-blackness current that is america’s first drug. we’re in a meeting about drugs. america’s first drug is free black labor, and turning black bodies into profit and the mass incarceration system mirrors an awful lot like the prison plantation system. it’s a similar thread, and until someone takes that message and speaks that truth to white people in this country so that we can actually take on anti-blackness as a founding problem in this country, I don’t believe that there is going to be a solution. because what the conversations that are happening now and why there is so much cohesion across the divide, the red side and the blue side, it’s because of money, right, we are spending a lot of money on prisons. we’re spending more money on prisons than we are on schools, but if we look at it from lens of let’s solve this financial problem, and we don’t look at the greater bottom line that african-americans who are americans are suffering at greater rates than most other people, every other people, for the length of this country then it’s not going to go away. it’s just going to morph into something new and evolved. you know, I genuinely want to know, you, hillary clinton, have been in no uncertain way, partially responsible for this. more than most. there may have been unintended consequences. but now that you understand the consequences, what in your heart has changed that’s going to change the direction of this country? like what in you—not your platform, not the things you’re supposed to say—like, how do you actually feel that’s different than you did before? like what were the mistakes, and how can those mistakes that you made be lessons for all of america for a moment of reflection on how we treat black people in this country?

Yeah. and I would offer that it didn’t work then, either, and that those policies were actually extensions of white supremacist violence against communities of color. and so I just think I want to hear a little bit about that, about the fact that actually while—

But your—you and your family have been personally and politically responsible for policies that have caused health and human services disasters in impoverished communities of color (inaudible) the domestic and international war on drugs that you championed as first lady, senator, and secretary of state. and so I just want to know how you feel about your role in that violence and how you plan to reverse it?
