Hillary Clinton: 'I Believe That' Trump Most Dangerous Man Ever To Run For President

CINCINNATI (CBSNewYork/CBS News) -- Hillary Clinton calls Donald Trump the most dangerous man to ever run for president of the United States.

"What he has laid out is the most dangerous, reckless approach to being president than I think we've ever seen," the former secretary of state told CBS News' Charlie Rose.

She continued, "I believe that" Trump is the most dangerous man ever to run.

Clinton also commented about a recent CBS News/New York Times poll showing her tied with the billionaire nationally at 40 percent each.

"There is a lot of fear in our country, and when Americans are worried they're looking for answers," Clinton told Rose. "He's providing simplistic, easy answers. 'Let's make America great again,' which means basically, 'We'll go back to the way it was, and whoever you are out there, it will be better.' That is a wrong-headed view of history."

She added, "Part of it is seeking this job at this time of fear, anxiety, discouragement, rejectionism that is, unfortunately, part of our political environment right now. And I hope by the time we have this election, it will be clear to voters who they can count on."

The Democratic National Convention begins in Philadelphia next Monday.
