HRC stumps Rhode Island

CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. (WPRI) – Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop in Rhode Island’s smallest city on Saturday, urging her supporters to head to the polls in Tuesday’s primary while mostly training her fire on the Republican field.

“I’m so happy to be back here in Rhode Island,” Clinton told more than 1,000 supporters gathered in the gym at Central Falls High School. “I love this little state. I have so many friends here.” She described Rhode Islanders as “resilient and hardworking.”

In her first local campaign stop since the fall of 2014, Clinton rarely mentioned rival Bernie Sanders but repeatedly criticized GOP hopefuls Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. She said of Trump: “Loose cannons tend to misfire – and what we have with him is the loosest of all cannons.” And noting recent comments by a top Trump aide that the candidate’s bombast is in some ways an act, she said: “If we buy that, shame on us.”
