Hillary Clinton's advisers are reportedly saying she underestimated Bernie Sanders
Democrats close to Hillary Clinton, the party's presidential frontrunner, believe she underestimated opponent Bernie Sanders early on, advisers and friends of hers told The New York Times:
They argued that Mrs. Clinton and her advisers should have competed against him more aggressively, in debates and on the campaign trail, rather than appear so sharply negative with their recent attacks, which have given the campaign a jumbled feeling heading into the first voting states. Even Chelsea Clinton jabbed at Mr. Sanders, an unusual move given that relatives are traditionally used in campaigns to soften a politician's image. [The New York Times]
