Clinton said these ideas are offensive. A victory in that state, which Clinton represented for two terms in the Senate, would deal a significant psychological blow to her campaign, rattling Democrats already anxious about her high national disapproval ratings.

A confident-sounding Bernie Sanders says Hillary Clinton is “nervous” and “under a lot of pressure” over the Wisconsin and New York Primaries coming up. Sanders was born and raised in Brooklyn, while Clinton’s campaign’s headquarters is based in Brooklyn, about a mile from the debate site at the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s Duggal Greenhouse. Clinton and Sanders don’t spend hours trading insults. He’s favored in the Wisconsin primary Tuesday.
But the Sanders campaign said “no go” on those dates, and countered April 11, 12 or 13.
Over the weekend, the Clinton campaign accused the Sanders campaign of playing “games” over the debate schedule and for rejecting three possible dates that they had offered, including April 14.
Several other northeastern and mid-Atlantic states – Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland and Rhode Island – also will vote on that day. “Don’t tell her this, but if we win here and we win in NY, I think we’re on our way to the White House”. The RealClearPolitics polling average shows he leads Trump by 5 more points than Clinton does.
Sanders, who trails in the race for the Democratic nomination for the WhiteHouse, has been pushing for a debate in NY, where he lags in opinion polls.
“I know that I still have work to do to win the nomination, and I’m going to keep reaching out to every voter, everywhere, in these remaining contests”, Clinton said.
After a year of campaigning, months of debates and 35 primary elections in the Democratic presidential race, Sanders is finally getting under Clinton’s skin. Sanders faces fewer financial anxieties.
He said his reasons for supporting Sanders include promises of increased access to health care, raising the minimum wage and legalizing marijuana.

Sanders adviser Tad Devine said the senator was not encouraging his supporters to disrupt Clinton’s events and was focused on his own message. The campaign said Monday that it is moving the rally to the night before.
