First Look on TIME: How Hillary Clinton Is Targeting Republican Candidates

Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a video on Thursday attacking the Republican candidates for seeking to roll back President Obama’s policies, according to an exclusive preview provided by an aide, in a peek at how the Democratic frontrunner would contrast herself with the GOP in a general election.

The 28-second campaign video provides a window into the kind of contrast Clinton will set with the Republicans in a general election, with the campaign painting Republican candidates as backward-looking and out of touch.

The video begins with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio saying “This election is about the future.” The Republican candidates are then featured in a quick montage saying they want to roll back the policies set by President Obama. “Repeal every rule that Obama has–” former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is seen saying. “Obamacare has to be repealed,” Carly Fiorina says. The debate segments of the candidates saying “repeal” are then shown next to scenes from Clinton’s campaign announcement video and film footage of Obama emerging from Air Force One, all played backwards.

She's taken her stabs at the Republicans over the course of the summer campaign, but it's definitely good to see that sharpening up.

Over the weekend I decided I would ignore the intra-party warfare on this board. Politics is war by other means and I will not forget who my real enemies are.
