I think that they practiced that line a lot but as she was saying it it became a canard and she knew it.

They had to have some rebuttal to the Wall Street comments and it was a really weak showing. Her debate advisers need to take a step back and reassess.

so any line she used would have been disingenuous.

The truth is, she is more likely to care what is good for Goldman-Sachs than what is good for any of us.

…..but she couldn't pull it off and realized midstream what a pathetic ploy it was.

It's really distressing that the Dem Power elite is insisting on her. It's beyond her ties to Wall Street for me—I really believe she doesn't have what it takes to be a good president. She's way too empty.

I could not believe it when people applauded at the 60% line. It might be 60% of her small donors but a drop in the bucket compared to what Wall Street, the for-profit prison corporations, Monsanto, etc. have given her.

Yes. Progressives and your viewers will recognize that pathetic comment for what it was, but did you hear the applause? Those are the sheeple that will be impressed by that bull shit response.

She just lost a few notches in my vote of support. This is what we are dealing with when it comes to Corporate-Hillary.

It is just her way of saying that she has "evolved" from being a rational thinker, to serving up word salads when she speaks. But that's OK because surely by now, all of the truly critical thinkers on this board realize that the only thing more important than having a president is for us to have a woman president.

little bit nervous didn't it?
I bet you said "Damn I wish she hadn't said that".
The same as I thought when John Kerry said "I was for it before I was against it" knowing the Republicans would make hay with that comment and they did.
Now come on you would have to agree that she had a Rudy Giuliani monument and certainly sounded more in line with something a real Republican would say Correct?

I liked her response and I think most reasonable people will too when they put it into context. It's really less than nothing.It's just Bernie Sanders supporters grasping at straws that aren't even there. You know what I mean.

The crazy thing is that she (or whoever is controlling her) planned the response. This error in judgement is another example of why she should not be the President.

Clinton makes bad decisions.

When Wall Street money flows to Secretary Clinton it's an act of solidarity with all Americans, and an act of defiance against our enemies who hate us for our robust investment sector.

While reeking of hypocrisy, there is a variable undercurrent of populism from a few of their candidates. They suspect that Secretary Clinton is likely to be their opponent so their Wall Street/Banking bashing is opportunistic. And it does play well with those Republicans and Independents without healthy stock portfolios. They'll let the Republican PACs take the Wall Street and Banking money while bashing us as being cozy with the bankers and Wall Street.
