MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) – Hillary Rodham Clinton says politicians of all stripes have to come together to tackle big challenges facing the country. She’s issuing a plea to those in the 2016 race for president to find common ground.

Campaigning in New Hampshire on Wednesday, the Democratic front-runner says: “We’re all on the same team, Republicans or Democrats or whatever we will call ourselves.”

She added, “I don’t think we have to make America great. I think we have to make America greater.”

Yet the remarks themselves were not-too-disguised reference to two of her rivals: Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and Republican Donald Trump, whose campaign slogan is “Make America Great Again.”

Clinton spoke just hours before the third Republican primary debate in Denver.
