Clinton, Sanders turn spiky ahead of New York primary

Posted: 07 Apr 2016 03:40 AM PDT

By Amanda Becker WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton, stung by a string of losses, is testing a new line of attack against rival Bernie Sanders ahead of New York's Democratic primary: sharply questioning his credentials and suggesting he lacks expertise to implement his campaign pledge to break up big banks. Meanwhile, a Super PAC, an outside funding group, supporting Clinton's presidential bid, has circulated comparisons between Sanders and divisive Republican front-runner Donald Trump. The Super PAC, Correct the Record, circulated a mash-up of television pundits criticizing Sanders' perceived missteps in the interview, quoting one calling it "almost Trumpian." In an email to supporters, a senior Clinton campaign aide said "even on his signature issue of breaking up the banks" Sanders had been "unable to answer basic questions".

"It's great to be home," Trump declared in a massive movie-studio soundstage in the heart of Long Island that was packed with at least 10,000 people — one of his biggest rallies in more than a month. Trump was referring to his campaign line of making America great again, but the line also could have applied to his campaign, which seemed mired in turmoil Wednesday, amid reports of staff infighting as the real estate mogul strives to win the 1,237 delegates needed to stave off a contested convention this July.

Bernie Sanders bobbled foreign policy in that Daily News interview

Posted: 06 Apr 2016 03:52 PM PDT

Bernie Sanders doesn't know whether President Obama's signature counterterrorism strategy, drone strikes, is the right approach to the problem. Fifteen years into a bitter national debate about Guantanamo Bay, he hasn't thought much about where he would imprison and interrogate a captured terrorist leader.
