[19:00:11] ERIN BURNETT, CNN HOST: OUTFRONT next, the fallout over whether Hillary Clinton is qualified to be president as Bill Clinton suggests, the question itself is sexist. Is he right? 
Plus, Bernie Sanders takes on one of America's most powerful men worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Why Sanders as he is destroying the moral fabric of America? And Donald Trump two days in a row off the radar? What is going on inside his campaign? Let's go OUTFRONT. 

And good evening, I'm Erin Burnett OUTFRONT tonight. Hillary Clinton addressing Bernie Sanders qualifications to be president. Campaigning in Buffalo today, Clinton asked point blank, do you think he is qualified to be president? And she said.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Do you believe he is qualified to be president? 

HILLARY CLINTON (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Yes, you know, as I said, I would take him over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz any day. 

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BURNETT: This coming days after the battle of qualifications started. Sanders claiming Clinton's position on the Iraq war and the support from big banks made her unqualified. Bill Clinton just 90 miles away today in Erie, Pennsylvania defending his wife. He was asked today, is the question of whether she is qualified sexist? 

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BILL CLINTON (D), 42ND PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I think she would be the best president. I think it's obvious by a country mile, and that's all it matters to me. Yes, I think there are some different standards, some of them are subconscious. 

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BURNETT: A short time later Hillary Clinton was asked about it. 

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Do you think it would be better if you were a male candidate? 

CLINTON: You'd have to ask him.

BURNETT: Suzanne Malveaux is OUTFRONT today with the Clinton campaign in Rochester, New York. And Suzanne, Clinton speaking right now behind you at the rally where you are. She is expected to address this issue again of qualifications? 

SUZANNE MALVEAUX, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, she is here at the Community College in Rochester and earlier in Buffalo to show that the race, the fight for New York is bigger than New York City. She is making the case that the things she did as senator including bringing high tech jobs makes her more than qualified to be president. 

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

MALVEAUX (voice-over): Hillary Clinton today, not letting go of charges from Bernie Sanders that she is not qualified to be president. 

CLINTON: You may have heard Senator Sanders say I'm unqualified to be president, well, seriously, seriously, I have been called a lot of things over the years. But unqualified has not been one of them. He doesn't really believe that. This is all pretty silly. 

MALVEAUX: The rebuke from the Democratic frontrunner comes as Sanders backs off his earlier criticisms of Clinton's qualifications. 

BERNIE SANDERS (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Does she have the experience? Obviously, she does. She was secretary of state, U.S. senator, I thought an outstanding first lady in many respects, breaking the mold. 

MALVEAUX: Clinton returning the favor late today, when asked if Sanders is qualified. 

CLINTON: As I said, I would take him over Donald Trump or Ted Cruz any day. 

MALVEAUX: Sanders though is insisting that Clinton's judgement is still fair game. 

SANDERS: We all make mistakes. But I regret less than she does, because I had the courage to vote the right way even when it was not necessarily popular. 

MALVEAUX: A sign of the tough battle under way in New York, ahead of next Thursday's CNN debate in Brooklyn and the state's April 19th primary. Both sides are playing up their empire state connections. 

CLINTON: I'm really going to try to win the New York primary because I love New York. 

MALVEAUX: While the Brooklyn-born Sanders paid a visit to his childhood home. SANDERS: I spent the first 18 years of my life in an apartment you see

 right here. 

MALVEAUX: Thursday, Bill Clinton fired an exchange with "Black Lives Matter" protesters in Philadelphia.
