Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says her lifetime of experience would guide her in the Oval Office to tackle whatever comes her way — like today’s news that the woman who who’d been poised to be elected Pakistan’s prime minister had been assassinated.

Clinton promises that if she’s elected president, she’ll do whatever’s possible to help Pakistan secure its democracy. "One can only hope that the Pakistani people will take this moment of such grave tragedy and challenge and try to respond by standing up for their country and the that they can have a functioning democracy," Clinton said during a campaign stop in Guthrie Center.

Clinton said Bhutto knew the risks of going back to her country to stand-up for democracy, but that it was something Bhutoo felt strongly enough about to take her chances.
