text: That irritation spilled out in public arena on Wednesday, when Clinton released a flurry of attacks on Sanders, questioning his truthfulness, preparedness for the presidency and loyalty to Democratic party principles.
  During an appearance on MSNBC Wednesday morning, Clinton pointed to the cover of the New York Daily News criticizing Sanders for saying he did not think victims of a gun crime should be able to sue the manufacturer. His comments came when the newspaper's editorial board asked him about a wrongful death lawsuit against a rifle maker over the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
  "That he would place gun manufacturers' rights and immunity from liability against the parents of the children killed at Sandy Hook is just unimaginable to me," said Clinton, who has long sought to highlight the candidates' differences on guns.
  For his part, Sanders told the editorial board that he did not think gun crime victims should be able to sue gun manufacturers. But he did say people should be able to sue dealers and manufacturers who sell when they know "guns are going to the hands of wrong people." He also said he supported a ban on assault weapons.
  Clinton's campaign — which seized on a number of statements in the interview — organized a phone call for reporters with elected officials and gun control advocates, including Jillian Soto, whose sister was a teacher killed at Sandy Hook, called Sanders' comments "offensive."
  Clinton also jumped on the limited details Sanders offered in the editorial board meeting about how he would break up the country's big financial institutions, saying he "hadn't done his homework." And in a separate interview with Politico published on Wednesday, Clinton said she tries to explain things in a more "open and truthful way than my opponent."
  Later, at a Philadelphia job training center, Clinton said people should know what she would do if she's elected president, "not just lots of arm-waving and hot rhetoric."
  Despite a sizable delegate lead, the stakes are high for Clinton in New York, the state she represented for eight years in the Senate. A loss there would be a major political blow that would highlight her weaknesses within her own party, particularly with younger voters who've powered Sanders primary bid and will be a crucial part of any Democratic candidate's general election campaign.
  Clinton aides say there's little they can do to directly push Sanders out of the race. They fear any such effort could compromise her ability to win over the support she'll need in the general election.
  Instead, her campaign is escalating their attacks in hopes of a decisive win in New York and assembling an "all but insurmountable" delegate lead by the end of the month.
  Sanders notched his sixth win out of seven primaries in Wisconsin on Tuesday night, a streak his campaign is casting as a sign of fresh momentum. If they can win a big share of delegates in New York and the five northeastern contests that follow, his aides believe they can make even larger gains in May and June contests in Oregon and California.
  "She's getting a little nervous," Sanders told supporters at a rally in Wyoming on Tuesday night. "I believe we have an excellent chance to win New York."
