At CNN's final Democratic presidential forum before the Iowa Caucuses, host Chris Cuomo screens Bernie's latest campaign ad, featuring wide shots of his cheering supporters and the classic Simon & Garfunkel song "America."
"You campaign in poetry, you govern in prose," responded the former Secretary of State to Bernie Sanders' popular new ad.
CUOMO: Earlier tonight we played Sen. Sanders your ad and asked him a question about it, one of the ads that you’re putting out here in the last run up to caucuses…
CLINTON: OK.
CUOMO: We’ll now do the same for you.
CLINTON: OK.

CLINTON: You know, look, you campaign in poetry, you govern in prose. And we need a lot more poetry in this campaign and in our country. So, I applaud that. I love the feeling. I love the energy.

CUOMO: Got another question for you.
