Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on 60 Minutes Sunday night with her vice presidential pick Tim Kaine to talk about their campaign.

"I seem to be the only unifying theme that they had," the presumptive nominee said. "There was no positive agenda. It was a very dark, divisive campaign. And the people who were speaking were painting a picture of our country that I did not recognize -- you know, negative, scapegoating, fear, bigotry, smears. I just was so -- I was saddened by it."

Clinton complained about a "double standard" and said she faces more criticism and scrutiny than other politicians.

"I often feel like there's the Hillary standard and then there's the standard for everybody else," she said. 

Clinton explained her opposition made "unfounded, inaccurate, mean-spirited attacks with no basis in truth" which "take on a life of their own," referring to the Republican National Convention last week.

"And for whatever reasons -- and I don't want to try to analyze the reasons. I see it. I understand it," she said. "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 are very regrettable."

Senator Kaine, said Clinton lets the attack just roll off her back.

"That's not the way I feel. When I see this, you know, 'Crooked Hillary,' or I see the, 'Lock her up,' it's just ridiculous. It is ridiculous," he said, referring to chants at last week's Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

Kaine added: "It is beneath the character of the kind of dialogue we should have, because we've got real serious problems to solve. And look, most of us stopped the name-calling thing about fifth grade."

Right - because Democrats never resort to smearing or demonization or personal attacks on their opponents.
