Journalist asked her whether she's the establishment, and she started asking "well what is the establishment anyway, and why isn't Bernie the establishment?" (That's a paraphrase, you get the idea.)<br /><br />But it's very simple: "Establihsment" was being used as a negative label, and Hillary wasn't about to sew on a Scarlet "E". She saw where the journalist was going with it and the implications.<br /><br />As for establishment / outsider, Bernie's whole campaign is predicated on changing Washington through force of character / the desire of his supporters, when what he's going to need is numbers in Congress. Bernie's plan is going to fail and fail spectacularly because he isn't making sure the establishment is on board.
