Former Michigan Governor and Hillary Clinton supporter Jennifer Granholm says that Republicans are the “true enemy.”

Appearing on CNN’s “At This Hour With Berman and Bolduan” on Tuesday, Granholm suggested that if the Republican nominee is Donald Trump, “It’s going to be a big target” for the Democrats to direct their attacks.

Granholm, a senior advisor to the pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC Correct The Record, was asked to respond to Sanders’ supporters who are urging him to stay in the race until the convention regardless of his performance in upcoming primaries and she said, “Well, I think it’s a concern if those who are supporting Bernie Sanders are urging him to continue to attack the person who is likely to be the Democratic nominee.”

“You do not want to enter a general election with somebody who has been attacked from within,” Granholm said. “So I totally think it’s important for him to continue to raise the issues that he’s raising, and it’s a robust discussion about how best to achieve the filling in of the hallowed out middle class, how to create good jobs in America.”

“I mean really, the discussion that’s been had here in Michigan about creating jobs and manufacturing and the differences of opinion regarding how to do that whether it’s block all trade or have fair trade which is what Hillary Clinton is saying,” Granholm said.

“Those are important discussions but personal attacks and stuff like that, when you get to attack people and their integrity, those, I think, are not helpful for ultimately turning your ire on the true enemy which is going to be whoever is nominated on the other side,” Granholm said.
