Hillary Clinton celebrates Super Tuesday victories, takes aim at GOP


At her Super Tuesday party in Miami, Hillary Clinton gave a nod to rival Sen. Bernie Sanders but spent most of her speech focused on her campaign themes and contrasting it with Republicans, especially likely GOP nominee Donald Trump. "We know we've got work to do, but that work is not to make America great again," Clinton said, referencing Trump's campaign slogan. "America never stopped being great. Our job is to make America whole again." She prescribed "more love and kindness" for America, and said "the middle class needs a raise" and better jobs. "The stakes in this election have never been higher," Clinton said, "and the rhetoric we're hearing on the other side has never been lower."
Clinton swept at least six of the seven Southern states on Tuesday.
