“And that’s what you’re seeing from their surrogates and from the tone of their campaign”. “He responded in kind”.

The two-pronged attack before New York’s nominating contest on April 19, focused on Sanders’ policy-heavy interview with the New York Daily News.
“There is very, very, very little enthusiasm for Secretary Clinton”, he said.
Armed with a blistering tabloid cover, Hillary Clinton is pitting Bernie Sanders against the parents of children murdered in Sandy Hook, part of an effort to punch her way into the critical NY primary.
Rose pressed Sanders, once again, why he can’t say Clinton is unqualified for president. That would require blow-out victories by Sanders in upcoming states big and small, including NY.
Which is why Hillary Clinton will continue to fire away at Sanders.
“Bernie Sanders is a son of Brooklyn”.
“These were rent-controlled apartments, are they still?”
Sanders supporters argue that he has stuck to the issues. “I will do everything in my power and work as hard as I can to make sure that that does not happen”, Sanders replied.
Sanders volunteer Brenda Brink, from Huxley, Iowa, said Sanders was doing what he needed to do. “Seriously, I have been called a lot of things over the years, but unqualified has not been one of them”. “He’s not going to lay down and let it pass and no one really wants him to”.
And the independent senator pointed out that there’s subject matter on Clinton he’s avoided, subtly bringing up lines of attack on her that he has not pursued.
“If Secretary Clinton thinks that I just come from the small State of Vermont, we’re not used to this, well – we will get used to it fast”, Sanders said.
Thursday: President Bill Clinton jumps to her defense. “So when some say we can solve America’s problems by building walls, banning people based on their religions and turning against each other, well, this is NY, and we know better”. “There are important issue differences”. “But I’m going to trust the voters of NY who know me and have voted for me three times – twice for Senate and once in the presidential primary”. He is fighting an uphill battle in New York, Clinton’s home state.
Clinton would need to win 63 percent of the 1,741 remaining pledged delegates up for grabs to clinch the nomination counting only pledged delegates before the convention, while Sanders would need to win 78 percent. “I think that was a disproportionate reaction” even though it’s a war, he added.
Mrs C linton was responding to rival Bernie Sanders’ sharp critique earlier this week that she was unqualified to be president.
Do you think Clinton is not qualified to be president? “She is extremely intelligent”.
Friday morning: On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Sanders refused to say if Clinton is qualified.
He also seemed to give her wiggle room on the issue of Iraq.

Sanders said in the AP interview Friday that “by definition, she has a great deal of experience”.
