Clinton blamed the need to consider becoming a Republican on her Democratic rival U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who had recently surged ahead of Clinton in polls of likely Democratic primary caucus-goers and voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, respectfully.

Clinton smiled and stated, "As a Republican presidential candidate I can lie with impunity, accuse Bernie of some pretty wild things, and talk about the mythical 'job creators' while I push for more banking deregulation just like the stuff that helped cause the 2008 financial crisis."
