Answers:

  • Where will you spend your final day of the campaign?
    Virginia and North Carolina
  • What message will you emphasize as you accept your party's nomination for President of the United States?
    Let's all come together -- women, Hispanics, Muslims, moderates, college students, military veterans, African-Americans -- to defeat Donald Trump!
  • Will you give Bernie Sanders a prime speaking slot at the Democratic Convention?
    This is only to be expected for the candidate who came in second place during our nomination process.
  • Barack Obama is looking to you for pointers on the content of his convention speech, to make sure it is congruent with your campaign strategy. What should he emphasize?
    Obama should focus on his accomplishments and the improving economy, and then on how I will uphold his policies and legacy as President.
  • To what extent will you attack Donald Trump for the rhetoric he has used about Mexicans, Muslims, women, and other groups?
    I am going to be pretty explicit in calling out the rhetoric and demagoguery of Donald Trump throughout this election.
  • To what extent will you attack Donald Trump for the controversy surrounding Trump University?
    We'll bring up Trump University whenever Trump attacks us. Maybe it will get him to shut up for a bit.
  • What message will you emphasize about the political views of Donald Trump on economic and budget issues?
    Trump's prescriptions would devastate international trade, domestic investment, and most importantly, American employment. They would plunge us into a severe global recession.
  • Would you consider making a pledge to, if elected, serve a single term as President?
    I believe that nothing would better unite our party than a pledge like this. Perhaps it will help progressives to support me now, if they can plan on running their own candidate in 2020.
  • To what extent will you make an increase in the minimum wage a key part of your campaign? Do you stand by your commitment to $12/hour?
    Most Americans want to see an increase in the minimum wage, and I stand by my support for this measure.
  • Are you still opposed to the Trans-Pacific Partnership? Would you pursue further trade agreements as President?
    I would encourage Democrats in Congress to oppose the Trans-Pacific Partnership when it comes to a vote.
  • To what extent will you campaign with Barack Obama, or support his presence on the campaign trail this year?
    We want Obama on the campaign trail as much as possible, and we plan to do several joint events.
  • To what extent will you support the presence of Bernie Sanders on the campaign trail?
    We'd be more than happy to see Bernie Sanders on the campaign trail this fall, if that's what he wants.
  • Donald Trump is attacking you almost daily on your 2002 vote in favor of the Iraq War. How do you plan to respond?
    Trump is lying if he says he opposed this war. There's no evidence or recorded statement of his opposition until well after the war began.
  • Do you stand by your position, voiced during the primaries, that you will not deport any illegal immigrant who has not otherwise committed a crime?
    This is my preferred position. But unfortunately, it looks as though the courts will rule that Obama has gone too far.
  • Do you have plans to emphasize a path to universal health care in your campaign?
    I will repeat my opinion that the goal is desirable, but impractical in our current political environment.
  • Many left-wing groups are organizing huge protests at Donald Trump's rallies, some of which involve blocking traffic or forcing the cancellation of speeches. Do you have anything to say about these tactics?
    Donald Trump's words go against everything our nation stands for, but I don't think it's correct or helpful to disrupt his rallies or to shout epithets at his supporters.
  • In the wake of Trump's nomination, a number of prominent anti-Trump Republicans are organizing to cast votes for Libertarian Gary Johnson as a protest, with an emphasis on the Western states. What are your thoughts?
    I believe, regardless of how we feel about Donald Trump, that he won his party's nomination and should not be challenged in this manner.
  • Do you plan to participate in the traditional three debates, between yourself and Donald Trump?
    Any chance we can get to expose Trump's complete lack of preparation for the Presidency is a win for us.
  • What was your rationale behind selecting Julian Castro as your running mate?
    Julian Castro is a bright, young, energetic man who will be perfectly ready to assume the Presidency from day one. He represents the best and brightest of the Hispanic community.
  • What actions would you take in Syria to help stabilize the situation there, and to combat ISIS?
    I would consider a pretty heavy bombing campaign there. We're going to bomb ISIS. We're going to bomb Assad. We're going to bomb the oil.
  • Do you support the recent nuclear deal between the United States and Iran?
    I support this deal, but I will work very hard as President to see that it is aggressively enforced.
  • Do you support the recent reopening of relations with Cuba?
    I'm glad that we have reached out to Cuba, but I would like to have seen a little more insistence that they liberalize their country first.
  • Do you support the practice of fracking? What is your overall view on energy policy?
    Until green energy technologies are ready to shoulder the load, we need help from oil and fracking.
  • What is your position on the European Union? Do you believe that countries such as the United Kingdom should exit the Union, given the current problems?
    We've all seen the issues with the European Union, and it obviously hasn't been perfect. But I'd hope that any country consider things very carefully before they decided to leave.
  • To what extent will you attack Donald Trump for any number of statements he has made about women in his past, including in this election cycle?
    Mr. Trump's gross and outlandish rhetoric should disgust any decent, hard-working women in our society. We need to show that there is no place for this rhetoric.
