Sanders countered with one sentence: "I don't support fracking." Clinton had a mic-drop moment when she equated gun manufacturers to Wall Street greed: "The gun manufacturers sell guns to make as much money as they can make." Sanders had his own when he challenged Clinton on releasing her Wall Street speeches. The highlights:
