Clinton signals that attacks against Trump over his stance on women will definitely be part of her campaign battle plan.
“When he says, ‘Women should be punished for having abortions,’ what does that mean? And how would he go about that?” the former first lady says on the “Face the Nation” program, referencing comments made by Trump earlier in the primary.
But she also vows not to engage in the sort of mudslinging that helped her Republican rival vanquish his challengers for the nomination.
“I’m not going to run an ugly race. I am going to run a race based on issues. And what my agenda is to the American people,” Clinton says.
“I don’t really feel like I’m running against Donald Trump. I feel like I’m running for my vision of what our country can be, and to knock down all the barriers that stand in the way of Americans getting ahead,” she says.
