Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders agreed during the CNN Democratic debate in Flint on Sunday that they would welcome the chance to go up against Donald Trump if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee.

Clinton said she doesn't believe that Trump's "bigotry, his bullying, his bluster" will "wear well on the American people," and she looks forward to "engaging him." Clinton said the last time she checked, Trump had received 3.6 million votes as of Saturday night, "which is a good number. Only one candidate in either party has more than that number of votes, and that's me." Clinton added that she is building a "broad, diverse coalition" across the U.S., and she's ready to "end the divisiveness" facing the country.
