Hillary Clinton has always been criticized for adapting many of Bernie Sanders’ priorities in the Democratic presidential primary in an attempt to appeal to her rival’s wide base of support among millennial voters, which made for a ideal “Saturday Night Live” spoof. And because MI has open primary rules, some Democrats probably chose to vote in the Republican primary – perhaps because, like many working-class Democrats, they are attracted to Donald Trump’s populist performances. Top Clinton donors had expected the campaign to begin raising money for the general election beginning in April, a transition they now say has been pushed off.

For Bernie Sanders the race for the Democratic nomination is certainly not over.
Sanders is tapping into the same voter anger and anti-establishment fervor Trump is.
“Americans have rejected demagogues and fearmongers”, Clinton said.
Now he can’t seem to stop talking about her – and not much of what he has to say is very nice. You study the political map, I’m sure, so you know that Bernie Sanders has a tough path to the nomination right now.
While Mrs. Clinton has generally done a better job drawing black voters in southern and Midwestern industrial states than Mr. Sanders, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said both campaigns have to do a better job at the grass-roots level of getting voters out. “Who insults veterans, like Sen”.
“Our friends, some are Democrats, some are Republicans, it’s so confusing”, she said. She thinks he stands against everything America offers to every citizen.
Clinton agreed, saying that Trump has only been incidint violence, “but applauding violence”.
The rise of Sanders and the power of his campaign to tap into the grassroots movement and messaging that propelled Barack Obama to the White House can not be underestimated.
A new poll by The Wall Street Journal and NBC published on Sunday shows Clinton leading Sanders for the three biggest prizes available on Tuesday. “Just when I thought she couldn’t be anymore unqualified”.
He says he was shooting another scuffle when one or more officers pulled him down from behind and, in his words, “bashed my face into the street”.
“I believe that the dumping is illegal and we have to summon up the political and the legal arguments to take it on”, Clinton said, specifically accusing China of the practice.
“One of the very strong differences between Secretary Clinton and myself – she has supported nearly all of those trade agreements, I have vigorously opposed (them)”, he charged.
Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, is trying to better articulate her views on trade ahead of primary elections on March 15 in manufacturing-heavy states – Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina.

The Vermont senator hopes that his efforts to tie Mrs. Clinton to free-trade deals approved under her husband’s administration and while she was a NY senator will resonate in the heavily industrial portions of OH, as it did in MI. She then came out against it. Sanders has 574 delegates (including 551 pledged delegates and 472 superdelegates). He’ll be hoping to repeat the trick in OH and IL, states with similar profiles, and tonight sent out an email to supporters trumpeting an NBC/WSJ/Marist poll that showed him just six points behind Clinton in IL.
