CONCORD, N.H. —Hillary Clinton, after filing her candidacy for the New Hampshire primary Monday afternoon, declined to say whether she considers her chief foe for her party’s presidential nomination a loyal Democrat.

Clinton instead focused on her own loyalty to the party.

Clinton deflected a question posed by WMUR.com on U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ history of serving as an independent and rejecting the nominations of the Democratic Party in his successful candidacies for the senate.

“He has to speak for himself,” Clinton said. “You’re not going to get me to talk about his taking any position that is a political position. I will put forth my positions.”
