Hillary Clinton: US "can't afford four more years" with Trump
“We have to win”. Coming to Sundance with Hillary, her autobiographical documentary series, Hillary Clinton said the United States could not "afford four more years" with Donald Trump and that she would do "everything possible" to ensure a Democratic victory in 2020.
Shortly before the world premiere of the series, directed by Nanette Burstein for the streaming platform Hulu, the former secretary of state and the unsuccessful 2016 presidential candidate gave a handful of interviews on a Handpicked red carpet surrounded by unusual security for this independent film festival.
Asked about the next presidential election - a few days before the first votes for the Democratic primary - Hillary Clinton launched, being careful never to pronounce Donald Trump's name: “I just think we have to win. I don't think we can afford four more years with the outgoing president ”. "It would be absolutely dangerous for our democracy, and I will do everything possible to ensure, this time, a victory for the Democrats," she added.
Dressed in a black coat, smiling and relaxed, Hillary Clinton detailed for AFP the challenges that await, according to her, her political camp in the weeks and months to come. "We will have to do better than the opposing camp, because they are extremely organized, incredibly well funded and they benefit from foreign aid," she says bluntly. "Our camp will have to oppose the deletions of voters, manage the real threat of piracy and the use for hostile purposes of stolen documents, counter the false advertisements and information circulating on social networks, coming from our country or from the outside, protecting our electoral apparatus ... so we have a lot of work, ”she explains. She believes, however, that victory is within reach: “We should win because I think people have seen the broken promises and failures of this administration. But we are going to have to overcome all the obstacles that (the Republicans) put in our way ”.
