This puts him at odds with the more pragmatic Clinton, who has said she will not advocate unworkable policies.

He faces strong party disapproval over his ideas to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, deport 11 million illegal immigrants and temporarily bar Muslims from entering the country. He called on the rest of the party – namely Rubio and Ohio Gov. John Kasich – to coalesce around him.
Though convention fights are much more talked about than actually occur, an Associated Press delegate count indicates Trump will have to do better in upcoming contests to claim the nomination before the party’s national gathering in July. America never stopped being great.
Clinton has amassed 1,001 of the 2,383 delegates she needs to secure the nomination. There will be speeches by all three Clintons. Eventually, he’s going to lose. “If she hasn’t straightened it out by now, she’s not going to straighten it out in the next four years”.
Sanders won Vermont, handily. Tellingly, he also, poignantly, looked back to the launch of his campaign rather than to his victory, and seemed to embrace his candidacy as a vehicle for influencing the race as opposed to winning it.
“By now, we know what happened in Flint, Michigan, don’t we?” she said, during a 14-minute speech at a Miami, Fla. campaign rally. The Democrat leads by nine among self-described political moderates. This is a man who hasn’t met a group of people he is unwilling to disparage, whether it be women, Muslims, Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians, or Jews.
Seventy-seven Democratic delegates were up for grabs in Minnesota on Tuesday; 38 on the Republican side.
“The states Mr. Sanders won are disproportionately White, and the states Mrs. Clinton have won are disproportionately Black”, said Robert Smith, political analyst, San Francisco State University. Sanders has won only in relatively small states where black voters make up less than 10 percent of the population.
Of course, Sanders is an old white guy in a diverse and younger party.
Sanders supporters gathered Tuesday Night in the Holiday Inn in East Somerville, which backed the Vermont senator. So Tuesday’s primary election was the only chance Bay State voters had to cast a ballot that might have an impact.
Does the Jewish GOP establishment favor Cruz or Rubio? Public polls show Trump 16 points ahead of Marco Rubio in his own state, though the state chamber of commerce apparently has poll data showing Rubio within six and is planning a $25 million bombardment of Trump with negative ads in hopes of derailing the frontrunner there.
Cruz made the case Tuesday night that it’s time for Rubio to clear out. Now, it might be unusual, as I’ve said before, for a presidential candidate to say this, but I’m going to keep saying it: I believe what we need in America today is more love and kindness. Sanders’s campaign argued on Wednesday that Sanders has a viable path to the nomination that runs through industrial Midwestern states battered by the recession, according to the Washington Post.
Where are the Jews lining up?
In the Republican presidential campaign, she noted the presence of “a lot of finger pointing and insults”. In the most urban counties that voted last night-in Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, and Boston-she won by big margins. Even as Trump professed to have good relationships with his party’s elite, he issued a warning to House Speaker Paul Ryan, who declared earlier in the day that “this party does not prey on people’s prejudices”. All we know is that the great presidents were master politicians of one kind or another. Republicans are more hostile when Democrats are in power, and vice versa. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., perhaps the senator closest to the pro-Israel community who once likened Cruz and Trump to different modes of violent death, now says he can stomach Cruz, if it means stopping Trump.

In blue-collar MI, where the outsourcing of automotive manufacturing jobs has devastated some local economies, Weaver said he thinks Sanders’ firm stance against the Trans-Pacific Partnership will serve him well against Clinton, who hasn’t had a consistent opinion about the deal.
