Forget the Bern: Hillary Clinton sets sights on Trump at Boston rally

Hillary Clinton set her sights on Republican frontrunner Donald Trump Monday as she rallied supporters in Boston, attacking the GOP at every possible turn as Super Tuesday looms.

“As people have heard what the leading candidates on the Republican side are saying, more and more people are really focused on making sure that we reject the mean-spiritedness, the demagoguery, the bigotry being peddled by Republican candidates,” she said. “America never stopped being great.”

Pointing toward the historic nature of the Old South Meeting House, where American leaders debated in earlier times, Clinton said the founders meant to create a country that could work together and compromise. Republicans, she said, failed in that department.

“Democracy requires that we play well with others,” she said.

The emphasis on Trump applied to the opening speakers, too. Sen. Ed Markey introduced Clinton by citing the historic nature of the election.

“Donald Trump keeps saying he’s going to make America great again,” Markey said. “Hillary Clinton says America is great and we are going to make it even better.”
