Clinton: The race with Sanders is now 'very personal'

Hillary Clinton acknowledged on Sunday that her tightening race with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination has become intensely personal.

“It is very personal,” Clinton said on NBC’s "Meet the Press." “People look and they think, you know, 'Can we imagine this person to be president and commander in chief?' And because of my experience, particularly my years as secretary of state, working with President [Barack] Obama, I think that's something that people really take into account.”


Clinton also played up her anti-Wall Street credentials, saying, “I took them on when I was senator."

"I took on the carried-interest loophole,” Clinton said, referring to a tax policy issue that has become a touchstone for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and other liberals.

“I took on what was happening in the mortgage markets. I was talking about that in 2006. They know exactly where I stand,” Clinton said in apparent reference to Goldman Sachs and other big banks.
