Team Sanders accuses Clinton of running 'smear campaign'
By Jonathan Easley
Bernie Sanders’s campaign manager on Thursday defended comments the Vermont senator made about Hillary Clinton not being qualified to be president, accusing her of running a "smear campaign."
Jeff Weaver said Sanders is prepared to hit back if Clinton attacks him unfairly.
“If they want to engage in that kind of a campaign, they’re going to see how a real New Yorker fights back,” Weaver said on MSNBC.
“There’s been a lot of innuendo and unfair attacks, but they’ve really started to step them up, and as Sen. Sanders just said, he’s not going to take it,” he continued.
“He’s the son of Brooklyn, born in New York. He knows how the rough and tumble of New York, and if that’s the kind of campaign they want to run, he’s fully prepared to run it.”

If she is cracking under the pressure so far, she stands no chance in the remainder of the primary. That is, Sanders has barely applied any pressure compared to what he could and should have. Imagine what she will do when he hits her back and wins in NY...
