In particular, the Clinton forces have been careful not to be seen as pushing Sanders to quit the race. A group of pro-Clinton senators recently considered writing an open letter to Sanders saying the time had come for him to end his campaign. But when two Clinton allies, Sens. Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.) and Barbara A. Mikulski (Md.), caught wind of the idea, they persuaded their colleagues to nix it, according to two people familiar with the letter.
Sanders was born and raised in Brooklyn and plans to highlight his New York values, Devine said, and the campaigns ads would have a good feel for the state. Sanders also is likely to go after Clinton over her ties to Wall Street, an issue he has raised for several months now, and Devine said the team is testing attacks on other issues, including fracking.
The basic frame of his whole campaign the economys rigged, the campaign finance system is corrupt will continue, but there are other issues as well, Devine said. Fracking is something New York state has outlawed and theres a big difference between Hillary and Bernie.
