US election: Clinton says she will focus on issues, not Trump

Source: BBC

US Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has said she no longer cares what her Republican rival Donald Trump might say and will focus on issues instead.

"I debated him for four and a half hours," she said, recalling their acrimonious exchanges. "I don't even think about responding to him anymore. He can say whatever he wants. He can run his campaign however he wants to," she said.

Mrs Clinton said her focus had turned to helping elect other Democrats on 8 November, when Congressional seats are also being contested

"I'm going to let the American people decide between what he offers and what we offer."

We need to get the legislative branch back so we can control the committees and legislative calendar.

was so impressive. She just didn't get flustered no matter how much that piece of shit interrupted, had a virtual meltdown and otherwise behaved like a complete tool.

He has made her stronger and better prepared.... kind of like a mom going back to the workplace as a supervisor; after dealing with hyperactive, diabolical and selfish two and three year olds, anything you have to run and anyone you have to supervise is NOTHING by comparison, as my mom once said . The leaders in the rest of the world are going to have to face the fact she took on and beat back the nastiest elements of corrupt capitalism, sexism and egoism with professional grace and complete aplomb.
