Steve McMahon, a Democratic strategist who advised Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign, said Sanders is unlikely to win the nomination unless he can win “big states by big margins” – beginning with NY, the state Clinton represented in the Senate.

With New York’s primary barreling toward us on April 19, New York native Bernie Sanders and former New York senator Hillary Clinton want to prove to voters who’s the, well, New York-iest.
“We need in this country what you know more about than anybody else is the need to build a grass roots national political movement, what I call a political revolution”, Bernie Sanders said. Sanders just said, he’s not going to take it. He’s the son of Brooklyn, born in NY. Sanders still trails Clinton by more than 200 pledged delegates. “I do not think that you are qualified if you get Dollars 15 million from Wall Street through your super PAC”, Sanders said.
“If Secretary Clinton thinks that I just come from a small state of Vermont, ‘They are not used to this.’ Well, we will get used to it fast”, Sanders said. The fifth time was the charm for Clinton, however, as she persevered and finally made it through the breach.
The former secretary of state laughed off Sanders’ comment Thursday.
HILLARY Clinton’s USA presidential campaign has fired back at her rival Bernie Sanders after the Vermont senator questioned whether she is “qualified” to be president.
“We’re finally back in a position where people understand”.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as President Barack Obama flew to Chicago, deputy press secretary Eric Schultz said that contra Sanders, Obama sees his 2008 primary opponent as a qualified successor.
True, Clinton’s critique on Sanders seems to be piggy-backing on some poor journalism by the New York Daily News, where an interview that was taken to show that Sanders did not know what he was talking about showed instead that the interviewers were themselves confused.
“Any time a Hillary Clinton hashtag gets started, in the beginning … it’s going to be our stuff”, Clinton supporter Kim Frederick told the Washington Post.
“This was an attack that was launched on their side”, Weaver said, pointing to reports that the Clinton campaign was embarking on a strategy to “disqualify” Sanders, even though Clinton has never explicitly said that Sanders is “unqualified” to be president. In a segment on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host Joe Scarborough asked Clinton if Sanders was ready for the Oval Office.

Clinton’s campaign charged earlier Thursday that Sanders “crossed a line” by asserting that Clinton isn’t qualified for the White House.
