The words Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton used to describe herself on Sunday were — “I am a real person.”

On CBS’ “Face the Nation” program Sunday, host John Dickerson asked Clinton to name three words that described the “real Hillary Clinton.”

“Just three? I can’t possibly do that!” Clinton said, laughing. “I mean, look, I am a real person with all the pluses and minuses that go along with being that.”

“And I’ve been in the public eye for so long that I think, you know, it’s like the feature that you see in some magazines sometimes, ‘Real people actually go shopping,’ you know?” Clinton added.
