Gee, I wonder why anyone would think that?

In by far their most personal exchange of the campaign, Hillary Clinton lashed out during Thursday night’s Democratic debate at what she called Bernie Sanders’ “innuendo” and “insinuation” that her Wall Street speaking fees and donations mean she’s bought.

“I think it’s time to end the very artful smear that you and your campaign have been carrying out,” Clinton said.

Some in the audience at the University of New Hampshire in Durham booed at the attack. Sanders seemed taken aback, saying, “Ooohh, c’mon.”

The Vermont senator, ahead by 20 points in the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, said Wall Street, oil companies and pharmaceutical companies are motivated by their campaign contributions to keep the economy rigged.

“There is a reason why these people are putting huge amounts of money into our political system. And in my view, it is undermining American democracy,” he said in their last debate before Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary.

Moderator Rachel Maddow marveled at the tension.

“Senator Sanders, Secretary Clinton, obviously we’ve touched a nerve,” the MSNBC host said.

Intent to tear into Sanders’ lead, Clinton argued that she was a realistic progressive who could get results while Sanders’ plans to provide Medicare for all and tuition-free college were “not achievable.”
