Former Clinton associates and CNN commentators Paul Begala and Karen Finney slammed Sen. Bernie Sanders as a 'weak frontrunner' who they believe is out of step with the wishes of Democratic voters Wednesday.

CNN commentator Paul Begala moderating"An Evening With The Clintons" in New York City on April 11, 2019.Also taking part in the panel discussion was Karen Finney, a former spokesperson for the DNC and the 2016 presidential campaign manager of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She agreed with Begala and expressed skepticism that Sanders could manage to appeal to a wide base of Democratic voters.

Finney was asked about the significance of a popular recent talking point by moderate Democrats, pointing out that adding together votes for candidates like Buttigieg and Klobuchar equals more total votes than the total of Sanders alone. She championed the idea that the calculation was evidence primary voters would prefer a moderate over Sanders.

"That's absolutely true," Finney said."I'm one who believes that this primary is going to go long and it's going to be a lot of back and forth of voters trying to decide who they really believe can really beat Donald Trump. But also trying to remind Bernie we're not Democratic Socialists, by the way."

"He's got a job to do, he's trying to talk about unity and building a broad coalition," Finney added."I just don't know if most of the party is going to buy it. He's going to have his chance to make the case. We'll see."
