New York (CNN)Hillary Clinton's campaign is taking new steps to try and disqualify Bernie Sanders in the eyes of Democratic voters, hoping to extinguish the argument that he is an electable alternative for the party's presidential nomination.
As Sanders took a victory lap following a 14-point triumph in Wisconsin, Clinton took fresh aim at the Vermont senator as part of a three-part strategy before the New York primary on April 19: Disqualify him, defeat him, and unify the party later.
"Some of his ideas just won't work because the numbers don't add up," Clinton told a labor union audience Wednesday in Philadelphia. "In a number of important areas, he doesn't have a plan at all."

Not even close. Hillary has done all she can to snatch defeat from the hands of victory. Either way she will still get her high paying speeches.

Ah well, that's nothing new for her.

(4,711 posts)6. That was my conclusion as well.
These are not the actions of somebody who can sit back and cruise to victory.

(4,797 posts)7. Yeah, good luck with step 3 there.
... actually, good luck with steps 1 & 2 as well. Doesn't seem to be working out too well so far.
