EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) — Locked in a tough primary fight in Wisconsin, Hillary Clinton is looking to draw a contrast with Bernie Sanders by emphasizing her Democratic bona fides.
Before hundreds gathered in a hotel ballroom in Eau Claire on Saturday, the former secretary of state stressed that she has been "a proud Democrat all my adult life and I think that's kind of important if we're selecting somebody to be a Democratic nominee of the Democratic Party."
That was a swipe at Sanders, a longtime independent senator from Vermont who is expected to have a strong showing in the Wisconsin primary Tuesday. He appeared before thousands in the same town earlier in the day, urging strong turnout. He and Clinton were both expected at a Democratic Party dinner in Milwaukee Saturday night.........................

EAU CLAIRE - Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton said she is "disheartened" to see conservative policies advance in Wisconsin under Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
"But there was something else I learned as I got older, how Wisconsin was such a pioneer, a pioneer in making progress on behalf of working people, a pioneer in an idea ... Wisconsin understood before most of rest of country did that economy and higher education were linked," Clinton told a crowd ..............
"I admire that," she added. "
I’m) disheartened to see the dismantling of so many pieces of what made Wisconsin not just a great state to live in and a great state to work in, but an example for so many others.”
............During her Eau Claire stop, Clinton hit Sanders for his free college tuition plan, saying she's not willing to let taxpayers pay for the college of wealthy Americans.
Sanders' plan would have the federal government match state government funding for university tuition for in-state students 2-1. Clinton said getting state governors like Walker to buy into that plan wouldn't work, as Walker made cuts to the University of Wisconsin System in the last budget.
"That would be like a death bed conversion," she joked to the crowd. "I'm not convinced that's going to happen."
She also argued she's the best-positioned candidate to take on a Republican in the general election.
"
Republicans) have been after me a really long time, and it drives them crazy, but I'm still standing," she said to cheers from the crowd.
Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin and state Rep. Dana Wachs, D-Eau Claire, came to support Clinton. Baldwin introduced Clinton to the crowd and stood behind her as she spoke to the group.
