Chuck Todd: Sanders and Clinton ‘Might Not Like Each Other’

‘You could never tell in the room which side the audience is leaning’

GUTHRIE: “It seems like the moment of the debate, Chuck, was when Hillary Clinton said ‘you’ve been running this artful smear and if you want to say something to me, say it right now and say it directly.’ How do you think that played? Does it make her look strong or was the tone off putting?”
TODD: “Well, we’ll see. It was interesting. It certainly created an audible gasps and boos of sorts in the room, which frankly, you could never tell in the room which side the audience was leaning, Sanders or Clinton. But that moment sort of everybody like stood up straight. But I can tell you, Savannah, in talking of the campaign, that was a real moment. Meaning this wasn’t like a planned idea ‘oh, I’m going to accuse him of smearing the campaign.’ She’s sort of is like — as someone described to me — enough is enough. And she just decided to go at him. I think the two of them might not like each other.”
LAUER: “All right. Remains to be seen, obviously. We didn’t get a chance to talk about the Republicans, but we’ve got several days left until New Hampshire, we can accomplish that. Chuck and Rachel, thank you, guys.”
MADDOW: “Thanks.”
TODD: “Thanks.”
