DENVER (AP) – Hillary Clinton on Tuesday repeatedly slammed Jeb Bush and the rest of the Republican presidential field over immigration and women’s health during a campaign stop in Denver.

Attack and define. She's not going to be a sitting duck when the
GOP Show Trial Debates go off. They'll attack her, they'll attack
each other, and she's attacking them.

A Fighting Democrat is what we need. Been a long time, she's learned
to campaign like Obama.
