"I am the only candidate..."

Hillary Clinton's absurd claim that she's the only candidate being attacked by Wall Street



"I'm the only candidate in the Democratic primary, or actually on either side, who Wall Street financiers and hedge fund managers are actually running ads against."

... Wall Street wants to knock off Hillary because they think Sanders will be easier to beat in the general election. From the article, it appears that Hillary is being attacked by Wall Street about 10x more than Sanders.

She's the one wooing them. And Wall Street is terrified of Bernie and they know he can't be beat in the GE.

I don't follow your logic. You said she should be attacked more by Wall Street, but Wall Street is doing that because they are terrified of Bernie and know he can't be beat in the GE. I don't understand your point. If Wall Street is terrified of Bernie, you would think they would be attacking him more than they are attacking Hillary.
