Already, the Hillary Clinton campaign has taken Bernie Sanders to task for his comments on the Sandy Hook shooting, calling the statements “unimaginable” and a “clear difference” between the two candidates who find themselves sharing similar views on many issues.

“She has been saying lately that she thinks that I am quote unquote not qualified to be president”, Sanders told a crowd of more than 10,000 people at Temple University’s Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.
According to the poll’s findings, more than a quarter of Sanders supporters (31 percent) claimed they will not support Clinton if she wins the nomination, which Miringoff called “potentially worrisome”.
Bernie Sanders’ controversial comments on the Sandy Hook shooting are leading some commentators to predict that his position on the Sandy Hook lawsuit could cost the Bernie Sanders campaign in the upcoming NY primary where gun control is a hotly debated issue, reports The Washington Post.
“Last night, after Bernie Sanders won Wisconsin, his campaign manager went on CNN to accuse our team of destroying the Democratic Party to “satisfy the Secretary’s ambition to become President of the US”.
A contested convention is a real possibility on the Republican side, but for the Democrats, it seems highly unlikely, although Sanders has won several recent contests. So I don’t know quite how to characterize him. “Maybe Secretary Clinton might want to apologize to the families who lost their loved ones in Iraq”, he told CBS News.
“In all the research that I have seen about who is supporting Sen”.
After Wisconsin, the next state to vote in the primaries to elect the Republican and Democratic candidates for the November presidential election is NY, where voters will go the polls on April 19.
The Clinton campaign has refrained from going nuclear on Sanders, aides say, in large part to keep at least some good will alive in hopes of unifying the party at the end of the primary fight.
A Clinton campaign fundraising appeal after the Wisconsin primary offered a glimpse into the new approach.
During an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, Clinton was asked if she believed Sanders was qualified to be president following his interview with the editorial board of the New York Daily News.
Despite a sizable delegate lead, the stakes are high for Clinton in NY, the state she represented for eight years in the Senate.
In 2008, the NY primary was held on Super Tuesday with 25 other contests, and in 2012 it was held on April 24 with four other states.

Sanders must win 68 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates if he hopes to clinch the Democratic nomination.
