A huge rally in pennsylvania. 10,000 people there. Sanders calls the democratic frontrunner not qualified to be president. Cnns Brianna Keilar has the latest from the Sanders Campaign. Reporter Bernie Sanders before a crowd of more than 10,000 here in philadelphia at temple university. Pushing back on some of the recent charges from Hillary Clinton and her campaign where they have taken issue with some of his recent answers and some of his struggles to explain the key parts of his campaign promises. Heres what Bernie Sanders said to Hillary Clinton. She has been saying lately that she thinks i am quote unquote not qualified to be president. Well, let me just say in response to secretary clinton. I dont believe that she is qualified if she is if she is through her super pac taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds. I dont think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in iraq. I dont think you are qualified if you have supported virtually every disastrous trade agreement which has cost us millions of decent paying jobs. Reporter pennsylvania is delegate rich state. A must win for Bernie Sanders if he is going to have a pathway to the white house. Right now, he is hoping to build on momentum from a string of recent wins and push to the New York Primary and then onward to pennsylvania as well as california. Miguel and christine. Brianna keilar, thank you. Hillary clintons camp returning fire over night. Press secretary tweeting Hillary Clinton did not say Bernie Sanders was not qualified, but he has absurdly said that about her. This is a new low. What clinton did do in an interview on cnn was question whether sanders was ready to be president. She criticized sanders for being unable to answer journalists questions over how he would break up the big banks. A cornerstone of his campaign. In the interview, it seemed unclear as to whether he understood how doddfrank worked. How we would go about breaking up banks that were posing risks to our economy. I was, i think, a little bit, you know, surprised that there didnt seem to be a lot of substance to what he was saying. I think the president s who are successful know what they want to do and know how to do it. They hit the ground running able to do every aspect of the job both as president and as commander in chief. Sanders also battling over ties over the nra. Sanders tweeting one democratic candidate takes gun lobby money to fund her campaign. That reference to a fundraiser last month hosted by jeff forbes. Clinton firing back at sanders. Only one democratic candidate has voted for the nras most important piece of legislation in 20 years. You. Meaning sanders. Helping us assess this race. The battle with the democrats and everybodys pivot to new york. Cnns digital reporter eric bradner. Good morning. Good morning. A lot of us will not be on planes. Everything is focused in new york. I want polito listen to somethin cnn yesterday of the Sanders Campaign manager suggests that clintons ambition will destroy the Democratic Party. This was a comment made tuesday. This is the response from the frontrunner Hillary Clinton. I want to get your thoughts on the other side, eric. Dont destroy the Democratic Party to your ambitions to become president. It is ludicrous on the face of it. I have been campaigning for democrats, fund raising for democrats, recruiting democrats to run and win for a really long time. I think about 40 years. Senator sanders by his own admission has never been a democrat. What is so interesting about that exchange and that tact from the Sanders Campaign is the Hillary Clinton campaign has been pointing out there are down ticket candidates. Politics is you scratch my back, ill scratch your back. Who is helping sanders get elected in the party . Thats a great question. There is irony in what jeff weaver was saying given Bernie Sanders has up until now been an independent in the senate. Lets be a little fair to sanders. He has played a role in Democratic Senate fund raising. He helped other Democratic Senate candidates. When you look at the exit polls, Hillary Clinton is the candidate who does best among loyal democrats. Thats because she is seen as a team player. The clintons have long been party builders. Bernie sanders is bringing a bunch of independents into the process. Bringing new voters in. That is a key distinction as we go into new york. Unlike wisconsin, they are closed primaries. That means only registered democrats can participate. Thats why the Party Loyalty and who, you know, carries the most down ballot benefits for other democrats is such a key question. Because now the race is decided by loyal democrats who are interested in not just a movement at the top of the ticket, but seeing results all the way down the ticket. The energy that sanders has had throughout the country is being felt here in new york. Hillary clintons lock on the state seems so significant. Can he bite into her 54 for clinton and 42 for sanders. Is she on track for that . Sanders has a few things going for him. First of all, he has beaten better poll numbers before. Michigan was quite a shock. Those poll numbers are not really indicative of a clinton blowout of something that she can lockdown and move away from two weeks before new yorks contest. Bernie sanders has a couple of advantages. A big one is fund raising. He out raised clinton 109 million to 75 million over the last three months. Thats the thing that can help him start to close the gap. He obviously is from brooklyn. He lived the younger parts of his life in new york. So he does have ties there. The Clinton Campaign is certainly a lot more focused on new york than they hoped to be at this stage in the race. Hillary clinton does need a win and a clear win there to saturdshut things down and leaving feeling more confident. But Bernie Sanders has closed gaps like this before. He has momentum of the six of the last seven wins. He has the momentum, but Hillary Clinton has the delegates. It is all about getting people in your party elected. Lets talk about the republicans. Donald trump had a remarkable event at bethpage yesterday. He came in loose and didnt mention wisconsin. Came in loose and talked about he hit ted cruz on the new york values issue. Listen to what he said. Do you remember during the debate when he started lecturing me on new york values like were no good. Ive got this guy standing over there looking at me talking about new york values with scorn in his face. With hatred of new york. So, folks, i think you can forget about him. Forget about him. And look at the cover of the daily news. He had to cancel an event in the bronx. Can we say that on air . There is an f train. I dont think there is a u train. Listen to what ted cruz or refining why hes going after new york values. Trying to find some space. Listen to what ted cruz said. Lets be clear. The people of new york know what those values are. The values of liberal democratic politicians like andrew cuomo, anthony weiner, eliot spitzer, charlie rangel. All of whom donald trump has given tens of thousands of dollars throughout the years. What do you think of that . Will that fly in new york . Donald trump sounded like a candidate who is with his crowd and knows he has his footing back. Cruzs comments will hurt him in new york. He has known that would be the case. The most important race in the republican contest right now may take place inside Donald Trumps head. He can win all 95 delegates in new york and he can do really well in east coast states the following week. It is still not clear he will get to 1,237 to clinch the republican nomination. The question is whether trump in addition to getting back on his feet after wisconsin and winning a blowout in new york, can also make the changes behind the scenes to start tweaking his campaign so it is more focused on the delegate race. He is bleeding delegates in rural states. A few at a time because he is not focused on the procedure aspect or the rules. If trump at the same time holding the rallies in new york, can reengineer his campaign to focus on the delegates, too, he can turn this into a big advantage in the next couple weeks. If he cant, he could be in trouble. New york state of mind. Hes a font of knowledge at 5 00 a. M. Thank you, eric. More states drafting religious freedom that critics say legalizes discrimination.

Good morning. Here we are in new york. Its sanders v. Clinton. The two people. He was bore here. She was adopted by the state. We want to play some of the back and forth between the candidates in their campaigns over who is ready to be president. Dont destroy the Democratic Party to satisfy the secretarys ambitions to become president of the united states. Your response to the idea . I mean, its just ludicrous on the face of it. You know, i have been campaigning for democrats, fund raising for democrats, recruiting democrats to run and win for a really long time. I think about 40 years. Senator sanders by his own admission has never even been a democrat. His Campaign Manager saying it. Sanders saying it on the stump. Saying shes not qualified. She is laughing it off, basically. Are these going to stick . I cant imagine that sanders is going to do it. Is he just trying to comeback from that interview with the daily news . This is sort of a new low in the democratic race. Candidates questioning each others qualifications to be president. That is some place neither wanted to go. The battle over who is better for the Democratic Party is an interesting one. On one hand, sanders has brought a lot of independents into the proce process. Hes breaking turnout records by really engaging a lot of young voters who might have otherwise skipped this years contest. On the other hand, the race is now shifting to some states, new york, first and foremost, to have closed primaries. That means only registered democrats can participate. Test. Test. Even that wont is badly damaged by the comments and can john kasich come in and peel away moderate congressional districts and urban districts where trump might not do as well. It is all about the delegate count right now. As donald trump looks likely to win, you know, the big count from new york statewide, other candidates can peel away from congressional districts. Thats something to watch in the coming days. I know donald trump has to win 60 of the delegates from here on out. Ted cruz has to be 88 and john kasich 110 . Eric, thank you. Happy thursday.

Some had seizures while taking chantix. If you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it.

A push for iraqi forces backed by the u. S. To take back mosul. Iraqs second largest city from isis. Cnns arwa damon can exclusive access to the frontlines. She joins us live from irbil. Arwa . Reporter they have quite a few challenges that they are already facing at this stage. Bearing in mind that mosul and nimiva province has been in isis hands for the last few years. Now what the Iraqi Security forces have done is launched the first phase of the operation to advance and try to retake mosul. What they did as the first step was gain control of a handful, it must be said, of villages. We went to one of the villages with them. That gave us a bit of insight as to what it is they are facing when it comes to trying to confront isis fighters and all they they were able to take and hold the village, isis fighters snuck in overnight and took hold of a building and launched a counter attack against the iraqi army. Air strike was called in eventually and that swayed back in the favor of the iraqis. They also were facing wave upon wave of suicide bombers as well as ground fighters. That same success is not necessarily repeated elsewhere. Some of the other villages, the iraqis have gone in and what seemed like was going to be a Successful Operation and then a series of battle field mishaps. Despite Coalition Support forced to withdraw to a certain degree. Those operations ending in failure. It is very tough and very slow going at this stage, miguel.

Folks, i think you can forget about him. Im not qualified. Youre not qualified. That is the state of play between sanders and the charge from him, you are about special interest money. This is all about a race that is coming to a head right here in new york. A week from today, the cnn debate in brooklyn is going to be where it all comes down. Meanwhile on the gop side, donald trump hoping to rebound in his home state of new york. They are preparing for a Convention Floor fight. We have this race covered only the way cnn can. Lets bring in Brianna Keeler in washington. These comments by Bernie Sanders last night were red meat for his supporters. Despite concerns about unifying the tkepl Democratic Party. We had a number of stumbles including where he seemed unclear how he would break up the big banks. Last night he responded by coming out swinging. He has been saying lately, she thinks, i am, quote, unqu e unquote, to be president of the united states. I dont think you are qualified if you have voted for the disastrous war in iraq. Clinton spokesperson, brian fallon, tweeting Bernie Sanders take back your words about clinton. The Clinton Campaign insisting she did not say he was unqualified and
