Clinton says there is 'Hillary standard' for her on campaign trail

Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton said in an interview broadcast Sunday that chants of "lock her up" at last week's Republican National Convention in Cleveland made her feel "very sad," while also suggesting she faces more scrutiny than other politicians.
Clinton told "60 Minutes" in an interview alongside her running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, that she didn't know what the GOP convention was about, "other than criticizing me."
"I seem to be the only unifying-- theme that they had," she told CBS News. "There was no positive agenda. It was a very dark, divisive campaign."
Clinton added that GOP speakers painted a negative picture of the country "that I did not recognize. So I was saddened by it."
She also said she feels as if she faces more scrutiny than other politicians.
"I often feel like there's the Hillary standard and then there's the standard for everybody else," she told CBS.

When asked to explain further, Clinton pointed to "unfounded, inaccurate, mean-spirited attacks with no basis in truth" she said "take on a life of their own."
"People are very willing to say things about me, to make accusations about me that are, I don't get upset about them anymore, but they, they are very regrettable," she said.
When asked in the interview about what she calls Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in response to his repeated use of the term "Crooked Hillary," Clinton said she has no nickname.
Clinton said she won't "engage in that kind of insult-fest that he seems to thrive on."
Clinton added that she will focus on how Trump "has hurt people in business time after time after time," and will also call attention to the "total disregard that he has shown toward large groups of people in our country."
Clinton's running mate Tim Kaine said the repeated use of the term "Crooked Hillary" and chants of "lock her up" at last week's Republican convention was ridiculous.
The Virginia senator added that "most of us stopped the name-calling thing about fifth grade."
When asked by CBS’ Scott Pelly if he would be ready to be president if needed, Kaine said he was “ready to lead.”
"I think I'm ready to lead. I-- I'm ready first to be a supportive vice president so that the presidency of Hillary Clinton is-- is a fantastic one," Kaine said. "But if something were to put that in my path, as much as any human being would be ready, I'd be ready."
