Hillary Clinton kept her eye on the general election during her South Carolina primary victory speech, bashing GOP front-runner Donald Trump right off the bat.
"Despite what you hear, we don’t need to make America great again – America hasn’t stopped being great. But we do need to make America whole again," she said Saturday in South Carolina, mocking Trump's slogan.
"Instead of building walls, we need to be tearing down barriers. We need to show, by everything we do, that we really are in this together.”
The former secretary of State appeared passionate as she worked to rally her supporters with an optimistic message, likely looking to counter Trump's tone. She called for "more love and kindness" while working the crowd of supporters into cheers.
Clinton appears poised to win the Palmetto State by an overwhelming margin over Bernie Sanders. She only briefly mentioned Sanders, congratulating him on his campaign, but repeated her regular implicit attack: "America isn’t a single-issue country. My friends, we need more than just a plan for the biggest banks."
Her victory comes thanks in large part to an enormous margin of victory with black voters. MSNBC analysis of exit polls showed that she won 87 percent of the black vote, and Clinton devoted a significant portion of her stump to racial justice issues, as well as police-involved shootings of young black men and the environmental issues in Flint, Mich.
"Breaking down all the barriers means we also have to face the reality of systemic racism," she said.
"More than a half a century after Rosa Parks sat, Dr. King marched and John Lewis bled, we have to invest in communities of color, reform our broken criminal justice and immigration system, we have to guarantee dignity opportunity and justice.”
Clinton's victory will give her a jolt in momentum heading into Super Tuesday states, where she is also poised for a wave of victories among electorates with strong black populations.
"Tomorrow, this campaign goes national," she said.
"We are going to compete for every vote in every state, we are not taking anything and not taking anyone for granted.”
She’s so full of it.
-”Breaking down all the barriers means we also have to face the reality of systemic racism,”-
So Trump will get 65% of the white vote ?
Great cartoon...but here it s the rub. It worked. To a Democrat, whose only moral value is getting and keeping power, there was is no hypocrisy, shame, or embarrassment. Until we understand and confront this, we will never be able to defeat them. They insist that WE maintain our supposedly high morals and we fall for it every single time.
All that aside, who doesn't really want to see Trump go full Trump on Hillary in a debate. She's married to a rapist, has made elected office into a business for profit, is a habitual liar, and an idiot. Trump is the only candidate that is going to say that right to her face. It will be very fun to watch.
I am voting for Cruz in my primary and whoever the Republican Party nominates in the general, even if it is Rubio. I will not sit at home and let Hillary win without my input. There is too much on the line.
Hard to believe there are people out there so naive, so stupid that they would support this witch. Do they read the news? Watch the news? Do they ever bother to get off their asses and do a little research? This is exactly why we have the current moron in the White house.
Well said, you’re exactly right.
Tell me she did not say that. oh good God, the absolute gall of this woman knows no bounds. Reminds of her video on sexual assault. You ever see this? This has got to be the absolute ultra-height of hypocrisy....All the crap she did to silence Bills sexual assault victims, threatening them and she has the GALL to make a video like this?

I had seen that video but forgotten it. She is such a disgusting pig. Both of them are and anybody who would support them. Gives me a shiver of nausea to think of them.
