UPDATE
Hillary Clinton spoke to supporters at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff Sunday, presenting herself as a non-single issue candidate in a speech that covered a hodgepodge of the Democratic presidential candidate's talking points.
Speaking to a crowd of many college students, Clinton got her loudest applause when she said “we’ve got to get college affordable again."
Clinton differentiated herself from Democratic opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose plan to make all public colleges and universities tuition-free she criticized as being expensive and and not tailored to low-income students.
"I don't think you should have to pay to send Donald Trump's kids to school," Clinton said.
She said her plan would focus on making tuition "debt-free," having students work part-time to help pay for their education and ending student loan payments after 20 years for people who make regular payments.
On just about every other issue Clinton addressed, she attempted to paint herself as the alternative to the group of Republican candidates, who she said live in an "alternate universe."
"Everything I've just said the Republicans disagree with," Clinton said after detailing her plans to invest in infrastructure, fight climate change and ensure equal pay for women. "They’re selling the same snake oil of trickle down economics."
One Republican who Clinton praised was Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who has fought for a re-working of the state's Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act.
“I am really supportive of what Gov. Hutchinson is trying to do to make sure [the Affordable Care Act] stays here in Arkansas," she said.
Hutchinson has said he opposes "Obamacare" and would like to see it replaced with a program that gives Medicaid money to states in grants.
EARLIER
Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is scheduled to make a return to Arkansas on Sunday, speaking to a rally at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
It was the former first lady's only stop in Arkansas during a candidate-packed weekend ahead of the March 1 "SEC" primary, which includes Arkansas.
Three Republicans, Donald Trump and Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, made several stops in northwest and central Arkansas this weekend. Clinton's opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders, has yet to make a campaign appearance in the state.
The crowd — some who waited in line several hours before Clinton's scheduled 5:45 p.m. speech — were packed into a hallway outside the university's gymnasium.
A campaign spokesman later said almost a 1,000 people in total attended the event, with several hundred in overflow seating inside the gymnasium.
"I was a Bernie supporter until recently," said Robyn Wiley, 27 of Little Rock. "The fact that Bernie wants to do everything, I don't think you can go into office and do everything all at once."
In line, Wiley said she met Sandra Foster, a 58-year-old from Virginia who was visiting her parents in Pine Bluff. All of them were longtime Clinton supporters, Foster said.
As first lady of Arkansas, Clinton "had a lot of accomplishments," which included supporting education in the state, Foster said.
Dorothy Bell, a 70-year-old retired school teacher from Beebe, said she believed Clinton's record as secretary of state made her qualified to deal with international issues.
"She was out there working with these people," Bell said, referring to Middle Eastern affairs. "The bottom line is she's the best qualified. She's knowledgeable on domestic and international issues."
Other supporters, including a former British member of the European Parliament, Nikki Sinclaire, had spent more time traveling to see the candidate. Sinclaire said she was impressed with Clinton's stance on foreign affairs.
"The world needs Hillary. We need a really strong president willing to deal with desperate issues," Sinclaire said.
Referring to the remaining candidates for the Republican nomination, Sinclaire said, "I'd be terrified to think about one of those five being president."
Sinclaire said she travelled to see Clinton in South Carolina and pulled out of photo of the two she said was taken at an event there.
Sinclaire said she plans to spend about 10 more days in the United States following Clinton and "hopes she has the nomination wrapped up by then."
