— On Stephen Colbert’s show, Clinton said she would let big banks fail as president. She cited support from the New York Times’ Paul Krugman for her Wall Street plan. “They have to know that yes they will fail. If they are too big to fail then they may have to be broken up,” she said of the big banks.

• Hillary said her presidency would not bring a return to the 1990s: “We’re not going back. I’m not running for my husband’s third presidency, or President Obama’s third term. I’m running for my first term.”
• And she told Colbert that she and Bill “finally finished” catching up on Netflix’s “House of Cards.” She said she also watches “Madam Secretary” and “The Good Wife,” both of which are, like Colbert, on CBS. Watch the full show here.
