 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks to supporters during a campaign rally at La Rumba, a Denver dance club and restaurant, Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2015.

Today's edition of Hillary News & Views has Clinton again making her biggest headlines by going after the GOP.

In Colorado yesterday, she focused her rhetoric on Jeb!

Timereports:

“Jeb Bush said he is not sure we need half a billion dollars for women’s health issues,” Clinton told nearly 300 Coloradans who had gathered in a Denver dance hall, many to organize for her. “Now, he has got no problem giving billions of dollars away to super wealthy and powerful corporations, but I guess women’s health just isn’t a priority for him.”

“This really isn’t complicated,”
Clinton continued. “When you attack Planned Parenthood, you attack women’s health, and when you attack women’s health, you attack America’s health.”
KCRAhas more:

Clinton sought to make the most of his remark, knocking Bush at a Denver event Tuesday evening, saying the comment provides a window into what "Republican candidates really believe."

"I would like to ask him, 'Gov. Bush try telling that to the mom who caught her breast cancer early because she was able to to get screening in time. Was her health not worth the money?"
she said. "Tell it to the teenager who avoided an unintended pregnancy because she had access to contraception. Tell it to everyone who was protected by an HIV test."
And the Denver Gazette has even more:
"I'm really tired of women being shamed and blamed and dismissed," Clinton said.

"The Bush campaign claims that what Jeb Bush meant to say is we should just de-fund Planned Parenthood, as if that makes it any better," Clinton said. "Where women go for cancer screenings and all kinds of other preventive health measures."

Just in case Jeb! missed her speech, she went after him on Twitter, too:

This is part of a larger strategy of framing the GOP in advance of the general election, following the blueprint of Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.  More on this after the jump!
