Clinton praises Democratic campaigns: 'Running for president shouldn't be about delivering insults'

With a landslide victory in Mississippi, Hillary Clinton took to the stage Tuesday night to thank her supporters from Cleveland, Ohio. "I am proud of the campaign Sen. Sanders and I are running. We have our differences, which you can see when we debate, but I tell you what, those differences pale with what you see on the Republican side," she said.

Clinton is believed by many to already have a lock on the Democratic nomination, which was reflected in her speech as she took shots at the likely Republican nominee, Donald Trump. Clinton dismissed building walls and turning back the clock, saying America needs a "real" strategy.

"Now running for president shouldn’t be about delivering insults, it should be about delivering results," Clinton said.
