hypotheticals about the Democratic race, Clinton pointed out that she's 'way ahead' of Sen. Bernie Sanders

A visibly frustrated Hillary Clinton made it known that she's 'way ahead' in the Democratic race when she was asked if she planned to adopt some of Bernie Sanders' policies to bring his voters on board.

Clinton, who followed Sanders tonight during back-to-back town halls on MSNBC, said she was winning with her own policies, thank-you-very-much.

'I've got 10.4 million votes. I have 2.7 million more folks, real people, showing up to cast their vote, to express their opinion, than Sen. Sanders,' Clinton pointed out to host Rachel Maddow.

Hillary Clinton pointed to her lead in the Democratic primary after she was asked if she planned to adopt some of Bernie Sanders' policies to attract his voters. Clinton replied that she was winning because of HER policies

'I have a bigger lead in pledged delegates than Senator Obama when I ran against him in 2008 ever had over me,' she continued.

'I am winning!' she said. 'And I'm winning because of what I stand for and what I've done.'

The usually calm, cool and collected Clinton was slightly exasperated when she made the pitch for herself.

Hillary Clinton seemed visibly frustrated when Rachel Maddow asked her hypothetical questions about the end of the Democratic primaries - 'I am ahead in the vote Rachel. I am way ahead in the vote'

'Look, I think we have much more in common and I want to unify the party, but my Wall Street plan is much more specific than his,' she added. 'We saw that when he couldn't even answer questions in the New York Daily News interview.'

She touted her plan to take on the shadow banking industry as well.

Maddow asked if she was correct in hearing that Clinton didn't plan to do anything differently to specifically court Sanders supporters.

Clinton used the 2008 precedent to make her case.

'Then-Sen. Obama and I ran a really hard race. It was so much closer than the race right now between me and Sen. Sanders – we had pretty much the same amount of popular votes, by some measure I have slightly more popular votes, he has slightly more pledged delegates,' she recalled.

'We got to the end in June and I did not put down conditions. I didn't say, "You know what, if Senator Obama does x, y and z, maybe I'll support him,"' she said. 'I said, "I am supporting Senator Obama, because no matter what our differences might be, they pale in comparison to the differences between us and the Republicans."'

'That's what I did,' Clinton stated.

Sen. Bernie Sanders said it would be incumbent on Hillary Clinton to go out and get the support from his supporters if the Vermont senator doesn't win the Democratic nomination

As the delegate math has become more and more challenging for Sanders, Clinton has hinted that she'd like to see him do what she did for President Obama after pulling out of the race in early June, once all the contests were over.

'At the time 40 percent of my supporters said they would not support him,' she noted tonight. 'So from the time I withdrew, until the time I nominated him – I nominated him at the Convention in Denver – I spent an enormous amount of time convincing my supporters to support him.'

'And I'm happy to say the vast majority did,' she continued.

'That is what I think one does,' she added. 'That is certainly what I did and I hope that we will see the same this year.'

Maddow pointed out how Clinton had dropped out on June 7, 2008. On June 7, 2016, California and a number of states will be holding a primary, with the District of Columbia still holding one last primary a week after.

'If you're ahead in the vote, if you're ahead in pledged delegates ...,' Maddow began, trying to set up a hypothetical.

Clinton wasn't having it.

'I am ahead in the vote Rachel. I am way ahead in the vote,' she said, gesticulating and leaning toward the TV host.

'Now wait a minute,' Clinton scolded. 'I have the greatest respect for Sen. Sanders, but really, what he and his supporters are now saying just doesn't add up. I have 2.7 million more votes than he has. I have more than 250 more pledged delegates,' she said.

'But I am ahead and let's start from that premise when we talk about what happens next, OK?' Clinton said.

The former secretary of state's pushback was likely her responding to remarks Sanders had made during the MSNBC town hall taped right before hers.

Sanders was asked by a student in the audience what would happen if he didn't win and would he work to get his supporters to vote for Clinton to bring the party back together.

For that to happen, the Vermont senator put the responsibility on Clinton, saying he had no control over his supporters.

'You know, we are not a movement where I can snap my fingers and say to you or to anybody else what you should do, because you won't listen to me. You shouldn't. You'll make these decisions yourself,' Sanders answered.

'I think if we end up losing – and I hope we do not – and if Secretary Clinton wins, it is incumbent upon her to tell millions of people who right now do not believe in establishment politics or establishment economics, who have serious misgivings about a candidate who has received millions of dollars from Wall Street and other special interests,' Sanders continued.

Sanders added that Clinton would need to tell Americans that private insurance companies should be pulled out of healthcare and public colleges and universities should be tuition-free.

In the past, she's said no to both, refusing to ditch Obamacare, which keeps private health insurance in place, and saying she's against tuition-free college because it's never really going to be tuition-free.

The Vermont senator said Clinton would have to take on the fossil fuel industry as well.

'So the point that I'm making is, it is incumbent upon Secretary Clinton to reach out not only to my supporters, but to all of the American people, with an agenda that they believe will represent the interests of working families, lower income people, the middle class, those of us who are concerned about the environment and not just big money interests,' Sanders stated.

MSNBC's Chris Hayes, who was moderating the Sanders portion, asked – since Sanders had just thrown the responsibility to Clinton – what role he, then, would play.

'Fair question,' the presidential hopeful noted.

Sanders noted how he worked with Republican every day in the U.S. Senate and had done the same when he served in the U.S. House.

He bemoaned how they 'do not even recognize the reality of climate change,' while wanting to cut Social Security, give tax breaks to billionaires and wish to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, 'but they have nothing to replace it with.'

At that point Sanders relented.
