At the Democratic town hall on January 25, 2015, Hillary Clinton said::

"You know, when I'm actually in office, they say really nice things about me, we have a whole list of the nice things they say. What a good colleague I am. How easy I am to find common ground with. How willing I am to try to find common ground. And then when I run, oh my goodness, it's just unbelievable…
I'm going to be just giving them all bear hugs whether they like it or not."
