In the aftermath of the Wisconsin primary on Tuesday, the Democratic campaigns went into full attack mode on Wednesday prior to the Wyoming caucus on Saturday, the New York primary on April 19, and the Northeast Super Tuesday on August 26.
Discussion and disagreement are expected, personal attacks made to fellow members are not and will be moderated.
Hillary Clinton hits Bernie Sanders on gun control, and sharpens attacks
Armed with a blistering tabloid cover, Hillary Clinton is pitting Bernie Sanders against the parents of children murdered in Sandy Hook, part of an effort to punch her way into the critical New York primary.
The inflammatory rhetoric underscores the importance of the April 19 New York contest to her campaign and the mounting frustration of Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, with the lingering primary battle.
That irritation spilled out into the public arena Wednesday, when Clinton released a flurry of attacks on Sanders, questioning his truthfulness, preparedness for the presidency and loyalty to Democratic party principles.
Sanders responded at a rally in Philadelphia. "She has been saying lately that she thinks that I am quote unquote not qualified to be president," he said. "I don't believe that she is qualified if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special-interest funds." He also said Clinton is not qualified because of her vote on the war in Iraq and her support for trade agreements that he says are harmful to American workers.

Bernie Sanders: Hillary Clinton is not 'qualified' to be president
Washington (CNN)Bernie Sanders said Wednesday that Hillary Clinton is not "qualified" to be president, a sharp escalation in rhetoric in the Democratic primary.
"Secretary Clinton appears to be getting a little bit nervous," he told a crowd in Philadelphia. "And she has been saying lately that she thinks that I am 'not qualified' to be president. Well, let me, let me just say in response to Secretary Clinton: I don't believe that she is qualified, if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds. I don't think that you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street through your super PAC."
CNN has reached out to the Clinton campaign for comment, and its surrogates responded quickly on Twitter.
"Hillary Clinton did not say Bernie Sanders was 'not qualified.' But he has now - absurdly - said it about her. This is a new low," campaign spokesman Brian Fallon tweeted.
