Hillary Clinton lost no time transitioning into a general-election message, positioning herself as the opposite of Donald Trump in an optimistic speech threaded with themes of "love and kindness.”
“Despite what you hear, we don’t need to make America great again. America has never stopped being great,” Clinton told supporters after her big primary victory in South Carolina on Saturday night.
“But we do need to make America whole again," she said to loud applause. "Instead of building walls, we need to be tearing down barriers.”
“We have so much to look forward to," Clinton said. "There is no doubt in my mind that America’s best years are ahead of us. We have to believe that, we have to work for that.”
She’s come a long way from her campaign message of "Pick me because I have experience."
Clinton mentioned the five mothers by name that she recognized at CNN’s Democratic town hall on Tuesday -- five African-American women who have lost their children to gun violence or at the hands of police.
“They have not been broken or embittered. Instead, they have channeled their sorrow into strategy, and their mourning into a movement. And they are reminding us of something deep and powerful in the American spirit,” Clinton said.
“When we stand together, there is no barrier too big to break," she said. "Tomorrow, this campaign goes national.”
