I'm sure looking forward to the NY & PA primaries:
PITTSBURGH -- Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton asked Carnegie Mellon University students Wednesday to help her build a world full of possibilities by supporting her bid and continuing President Obamas progress.
This election is much more about your future than anything else, Clinton told an estimated crowd of 2,000 in CMUs Skibo Gym. I want you to imagine with me what we can build together.
With Pennsylvanias April 26 primary less than three weeks away, Clinton didnt mention her Democratic primary opponent, Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, but repeatedly hit on her progressive credentials, such as fighting for civil and womens rights.
I do believe that if youre a progressive you do need to make progress, she said, echoing criticism of Sanders that he has been ineffectual in Congress.
At one point, Clinton took another veiled shot at Sanders laser-like focus just on domestic issues, saying that, National security is not an afterthought, and is, in fact, a core responsibility of any president.
While she might not have mentioned her fellow Democrat, Clinton did name Republican front-runner Donald Trump to denounce the rhetoric from his campaign that, she said, is intended to incite prejudice and paranoia and violence.
It is so contrary to who we are and who we must be if were going to own the future, Clinton said.
It was that hope for the future that Clinton repeatedly turned to before the youthful crowd, which was joined by another 1,400 people outside who couldnt get in.
