Clinton to Iowa Voter: I Can Find ‘Common Ground’ with Republicans

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

ROBERTS: “Well speaking of listening to Iowans, we have Jon Karl, he’s out and about. He’s with voters. A third of voters here undecided and let’s hear what one voter has to ask you, Jon.”
KARL: “Hello, Robin. Hello, Secretary Clinton. We’re with Rob from Denison, Iowa. You’re undecided between Hillary Clinton and John Kasich. What is your question.”
UNKNOWN MALE: “Good morning, Secretary Clinton. As a liberal Republican seems to be a dying breed, are you going to work bipartisanly with a partisan Congress?
CLINTON: “That’s a really good question. Thanks for asking it because I get asked that a lot. I have a record of working with Republicans, when I’m actually in a position to do so when, you know, there’s a campaign it’s a little bit different. When I was first lady, I worked to achieve the children’s health insurance program, working across the aisle with both Democrats and Republicans. Even reformed our foster care and adoption system, teaming up with delay, a very partisan Republican in the house. In the senate, I worked hard to get health care for the national guard and reserves. I worked with senator Lindsey Graham in that case, I don’t know if there was a single Republican who didn’t co-sponsor one of the bills that I worked on. As secretary of state, I had similar efforts to reach common ground to prove successful. I know in a campaign the distinctions have to be drawn. Because we have to give voters a real sense of what each of us wants to do and to hold us accountable for the agenda we put forth. But I’m confident that I’m going to work really hard to find that common ground across the aisle and we will make progress together.”
ROBERTS: “Secretary Clinton, thank you very much. We appreciate you joining us on this very busy and important day. Thank you.”
CLINTON: “Thanks so much. Great to talk to you.”
