Related: About this forumHillary: "I told Wall Street to cut it out!"
Was that her worst line?
I think so, because the "I represented Wall Street" is just an accidental slip of the tongue.
But "I told them to cut it out" is a massive failure because she thought it sounded strong, but "cut it out" shows her actual weakness and lack of intention to regulate Wall St.

Everyone in the room where I was watching it laughed. Overall I thought she did pretty well but that was not one of her better moments.
