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."
It's the latest chapter in Clinton's approach to Sanders. She's tried ignoring him, brushing him aside, gently dismissing his policies. 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.

1. That's her gimmick and it doesn't work.

[FreakinDJ]

7. Looks like another flip flop

[Joe the Revelator]

2. 'Unify the party later' HA!

[CorporatistNation]

12. Agreed... No Unity If She Somehow Is "Awarded" The Nomination After ALL That Has Transpired!

3. None of her supporters give the remotest shit about keeping good will alive. At least, not based on

their posts here.

Presumably that part of the strategy was discarded long ago.

4. Just bought stock in smelling salts and fainting lounges. nt

5. you know that time in 2008 when she talked about hardworking white

people and everyone was like, okay time for you to go?

That just happened.

[grasswire]

8. the default page from the playbook

It's not going to fly this time.

I have been reading social media from young people tonight.

Keep it up, HRC. You are alienating them beyond repair.

9. They always play the victim card. n/t

10. Wasn't it her campaign that was recently

complaining about tone, and now she's going all out to destroy him.

[ViseGrip]

11. She is running a ridiculous campaign. What a waste of $$$

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Maybe her camp should spend more time trying to actually win over voters

Than throwing mud.

[MFM008]

14. as Lawrence said

That's NOT what she said. Watch it.

[DFab420]

15. Yes, yes it is.

A Clinton campaign fundraising appeal after the Wisconsin primary offered a glimpse into the new approach. The campaign's deputy communications director, Christina Reynolds, argued that Sanders is unqualified, sending a full transcript of a New York Daily News editorial board interview of Sanders.
"We've said for a long time that this primary is about who's really going to be able to get things done. And from reading this interview, you get the impression Senator Sanders hasn't thought very much about that," Reynolds wrote. "In fact, even on his signature issue of breaking up the banks, he's unable to answer basic questions about how he'd go about doing it, and even seems uncertain whether a president does or doesn't already have that authority under existing law."

16. Just like 2008

[BernieforPres2016]

17. So Hillary is defending not breaking up the TBTF banks in front of labor unions

She is truly a brilliant political strategist.

[SheilaT]

18. This is becoming a tiresome rerun of 2008.

The only difference I can tell is that this time we're not hearing a lot of stories about how dysfunctional her campaign is, and she hasn't a a big shake-up of her staff, so I'll give her points for those two things.

Otherwise, her tone-deafness continues.

19. Hillcamp has gone thru the ignoring & laughing stages, now in the fighting stage...

and that fourth stage is coming up
