“Now she is asking to change the rules to schedule a debate next week that is not sanctioned by the DNC”, Sanders Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver said in a statement.

He said his wife’s gradual approach was best.
Sanders said he doesn’t believe that is the case.
“That ability to engage Democrats and excite them and inspire them will be critical to the success of Democrats up and down the ballot, whether Senator Sanders is the nominee or not”, Earnest said.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton continues to “feel the Bern” as she loses altitude nationally in her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
This is not the first ad comparing the top two candidates of the Democratic primary.
Clinton dropped by the White House for an informal lunch on December 7 and had an hourlong chat in March. White House officials say the men lack much of a personal relationship and have markedly different approaches to politics.
