Clinton softens tone to combat Trump's divisiveness after Super Tuesday wins
Lauren Gambino in New York
Wednesday 2 March 2016 18.46 GMT
What a super Tuesday! Hillary Clinton declared, with a big smile after taking the stage at her party at a cavernous film studio in downtown Miami on Tuesday night.
By the nights end, Clinton had notched seven important victoriesand saw her rival Bernie Sanders path to the nomination sharply narrowed.
Clinton looked past Sanders on Tuesday night, mentioning him only once, to congratulate him on a strong showing, then turning her focus to the man barreling towards the Republican nomination: Donald Trump.
Im going to keep saying it. I believe what we need in America today is more love and kindness, because you know what? It works, Clinton said, repeating the phrase that is expected to be at the heart of her strategy to defeating the divisive businessman. Instead of building walls, were going to break down barriers.
A memo from Priorities USA, a Super Pac supporting Clinton, on Wednesday emphasized that it was taking the threat of a Donald Trump presidency seriously.

And make sure we keep arming murderous Dictators that oppress women and violate human rights.
We just need more love and kindness in America F the rest of the world.
The hypocrisy of Clinton to even utter the words love and kindness.....
