Bill Clinton: “Oh, I think the American people--I would hope the American people would judge any candidate based on his or her merits…”

“Oh, I think the American people--I would hope the American people would judge any candidate based on his or her merits, without regard to race or gender. That's what I hope, and that's the America I've worked for all my life. If you look at my appointments, if you look at the policies I've pursued, that's the America I've worked for. But I think--again, I will say it takes almost all the concentration I can muster every day to do the job I was hired to do. And that's what I'm going to work on. Mr. King. But you love it.”
