bernie sanders openly questioning hillary clinton's judgment and hillary clinton calling into question preparedness to be president of the united states. our senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny is here with us inside the debate hall. the question is, will they come out swinging tonight? what are you hearing? >> both campaigns are definitely preparing for that's moment. they know each other's lines as well as they know their own by this point after eight democratic debates already. a few different ways they are looking at tonight. let's start with judgment versus tested. the sanders campaign is going to raise questions, keep raising questions about hillary clinton's judgment. a lot of the votes she took in the senate. some of her other positions she held as secretary of state. the clinton campaign will be raising questions about is bernie sanders ready for the oval office? is he tested for this? do all of his ideas really make sense? can they work? a second thing is new york matters. wolf, in politics like real stae estate, it's all about location. there are so many specific iss

hillary clinton believes math is on her side. no question on the debate stage, one moment for bernie sanders to raise the questions in person he has been raising behind the scenes. hillary clinton will make the argument that sanders is untested. bernie sanders will raise questions about secretary clinton's judgment. that is why in brooklyn, it is so important before the new york primary. john and lynda. >> jeff zeleny at a packed washington square park. another man there is ron brownstein. he is here with us now. ron, big debate. >> yeah. >> hillary clinton and bernie sanders. they have not been on stage together for five weeks. bernie sanders, the big question is how far is he willing to go? >> i think you saw he will go a lot further than four or five months ago when we were commenting on las vegas where he said i'm sick and tired of the d damn e-mails. it was a reminder of how far he has come from where he started. if you look at the exit polls, he has now one white voters in every state outside of the south except for iowa, the first state and ohio. he won most caucuses. with a he has not done yet and was clear again last nigh

primary this is barack obama, winning the african american vote, and the darker blue is hillary clinton, bernie sanderso sell his message. this is the key test for senator sanders. if he loses with the blue collar message, if he can't win in pennsylvania, you expect hillary clinton, there we go, african american voters and latino voters, to do well here. hillary clinton believing that if she continues this track up here, she believes that math is insurmountable now. more so next week. donald trump has done well in this area of the country. donald trump thinks a big win tonight, ted cruz, shut out in new york, kasich, getting a handful of delegates, can trump win 80 to 90% of the delegates, if he does he has a chance to get there or get close by the convention. >> can donald trump win enough delegates to win a contest econ? but with their raymond james financial advisor, they had prepared for even the unthinkable. and they danced. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. or if you're young or old.are if you run everyday, no matter who you are a heart attack can happen without warning. if you've

bernie sanders it is, either you are for an immediate high $15 minimum wage or there's no middle ground there and i think that exchange highlights what bernie sanders supporters don't like about hillary clinton which is this incrementalism which does not define bernie sanders and the clinical liberal democrats that support him. heather: she said she supports the $15 wage last night where before he'd only been willing to say 12 so that pushes her further to the left. >> right and again i think we've seen that on a number of issues across the primary season and for some sanders supporters that his victory right? looking at this race but i think we've got to the stage now where bernie sanders has a string of victories. he's got vocal support from liberal democrats and despite the primary math, the delegate math which quite clearly shows that bernie sanders as a tremendously difficult path , he's going to stay in this thing and i think his supporters are giving him good reason to. heather: you mentioned vocal supporters. hillary clinton willing to actually go after his supporters as well last night as they were vocal in the crowd. here's what she had to say about climate change specifically with

bernie sanders and hillary clinton ready to face-off in a critical debate here on cnn. the new york primary now just five days away. if bernie sanders could pull off an upset, the democrats could face a contested convention. on the other hand, if hillary clinton could pull off a big win here, it could all but guarantee her nomination. the latest poll from quinnipiac has hillary clinton leading, but sanders says he is up for the challenge. >> a lot of hot talk. what do you expect on that stage tomorrow night? what's going to be different? >> i think there will be a good debate in which secretary clinton and i discuss the very strong differences of opinion we have about how we go forward in this country. if that takes place, i will be very happy and i'm confident that the vision i am bringing forth is a vision that will be supported by the vast majority of the people in new york. >> it will be different from what we have heard in the last few days? >> i'll tell you tomorrow. >> that was chris cuomo at a rally in greenwich village in new york. that debate is 17 hours away h

and i remember the exact same position in 2008 versus hillary clinton and hillary clinton is now in. bernie sanders, you know you've basically won. your opponent refuses to get out of the race. is continuing to put pressure on you, and ultimately hillary clinton is looking down the road at donald trump or ted cruz and wants to start focussing on the general and still has to compete with bernie sanders. it's clear that people are tired. they're stressed. they're getting irritated with each other. this happens in campaigns. the question will be, how are they able to put it back together at the end of the race, and can bernie sanders endorse hillary clinton? is she able to make a solid intrigue to his supporters because that will be necessary to winning in november. >> we'll talk about that later. ari, i thought this was very interesting. this open letter that you penned to donald trump. five things you say he should do. stop fighting with everybody and don't be so nasty. get your facts right. number three is learn more policy. four, make policy announcements. and five, stop citing polls. it sounds li
