At a campaign event on Monday night, the confident former Secretary of State repeatedly invoked the Republican front runners rhetoric and positions as she turns toward a general-election battle.
I gotta tell you, Im looking forward to those debates against the Republican nominee, Clinton said to cheers at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. Because at some point you cant just say whatever pops into your head if you want to be the President of United States!
...
Clinton is primed for a series of victories on Super Tuesday, where polls show her far outstripping Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in states like Texas, Alabama, Georgia and here in Virginia. Confident of a coming victory for the nomination, she is turning toward addressing the Republicans, and most specifically, Trump, her increasingly likely opponent in the general election.
On Monday night she did not mention Sanders, making only one vague reference to him in her discussion about health care.
Otherwise, her sights were on November and the GOP.
