Clinton Returns To Nevada After A Sleepless Night

ABC News’ Eloise Harper reports: A peppy Hillary Clinton joined supporters in Fernley, Nevada after flying across the country twice because of votes in the Senate. "Its great to be back on the ground," Clinton said.

After a strong performance at the Democratic debate held in Las Vegas Thursday night, Clinton told the group, "We were in Las Vegas last night which was exciting." The line earned her big applause.

Clinton went on to deliver a lively speech.

"It’s part of the American birthright to yell at your television set," Clinton said, teeing off her remarks focusing on the Bush administration. "You know we have not done the job we needed to do, and that I thought we went to do, in Afghanistan. You know I still don’t understand why we cant find the tallest man in Afghanistan and Pakistan."

Clinton then commented on the recent problems between the U.S. and China regarding imports. "You wonder why they let tainted foods for humans and pets in our country. Why they let toys with lead into our country. It’s because they dont want to stand up to the Chinese because they have to borrow billions of dollars every single day in order to pay the debt."

"It gets me a little agitated." she said with exasperation.
