Hillary Clinton sounded a lot like Bernie Sanders after losing to Bernie Sanders

Strains credulity.

<snip>

Clinton moved in on Sanders’s territory Tuesday night.

In this campaign, you've heard a lot about Washington and about Wall Street. Now, Senator Sanders and I both want to get secret, unaccountable money out of politics. And let's remember — let's remember — Citizens United, one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in our country's history, was actually a case about a right-wing attack on me and my campaign.

A right-wing organization took aim at me and ended up damaging our entire democracy. So, yes, you are not going to find anybody more committed to aggressive campaign finance reform than me.

Curbing the influence of money in politics hasn’t been a major theme of Clinton’s campaign, for obvious reasons. Outside groups have raised $48.1 million to promote her candidacy, according to fund-raising data maintained by the Center for Responsive Politics.
