Face the Nation host John Dickerson decided to dedicate portions of his show to airing clips from his recent softball interview with the “grandmother running for commander-in-chief,” Hillary Clinton. Dickerson’s interview ranged in topics from the e-mail server to how her mother influences her campaigning in terms of the example she is setting. The interview also featured questions about Republican divisions and how Clinton could exploit them.
One of Dickerson’s first questions to the former secretary of state was about her campaign’s plans to peel Republicans away from Donald Trump. “Some of your aides talk about something called Republicans for Hilary,” the host pitched to Clinton, “How do you get that voter? … What's the pitch to them?”
Clinton responded by stating that she is campaigning to get all the votes she can regardless of what party they are in. “I think for a lot of people, again, who take their vote seriously and who really see this as a crossroads kind of election I am asking people to come join this campaign,” she proclaimed. She then went on to say that she has received many calls from Republicans looking to talk about ideas moving forward.
