>> i think, when you get 13 million votes, which is what we got. when you win 22 states, when young people all over the country are demanding real change, secretary clinton and her team are smart enough to understand that they have got to go where the action is. and they have to move to where the people want to go. and what the people in this country want is a standing up to the big-money interests. >> what didn't you get?
