RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

WALLACE: "While we are talking about the 2016 election, your pal, Hillary Clinton, was unable to in India this week, and she said that while she won and places in the country that are doing well and have high GDP that things are very different for the trump parties. Here she is."
[START CLIP]
CLINTON: "His whole campaign, make America great again, it was looking backwards. You know, he didn’t like black people getting rights, or you don’t like women getting jobs. You don’t want to see that Indian Americans exceeding more than you are. Whatever your problem is, I’m going to solve it."
[END CLIP] 
WALLACE: "Senator, is that helpful to Democrats in 2018 to have Hillary Clinton dismissing the 60 million plus voters who supported and elected Donald Trump just missed? Some could even say condemned as racist and misogynist." 
DURBIN: "No, it’s not helpful at all. In fact, my friend Hillary Clinton is wrong. 30% of the people that voted for Donald Trump has voted for President Obama. Why? The same people who look for change with President Obama thought there wasn’t enough as far as their personal lives were concerned, and they supported Donald Trump. There is a reality. The Democrats acknowledged. That’s why we are focusing on issues to address the concerned they have about the economic insecurities of many working families face. I can tell you a tax bill that gave tax breaks to the wealthiest people in America and the Republicans and President Trump is not responsive to that." 
WALLACE: "Heidi Heitkamp, one of your Senate democratic colleagues, who is running for reelection in at the red state of North Dakota said, Hillary Clinton can’t go away soon enough. Is she right answer Hillary Clinton go away?" 
DURBIN: "I can tell you, Hillary Clinton, like every American, has the right to express her point of view. She obviously gets press coverage. We are moving onto the next chapter in American history. We have new democratic leadership, and more people inspiring to be candidates in 2020. It will be a different cast of characters completely."
