Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders Sunday have blamed Republican front-runner Donald Trump for inciting violence that rocked his rallies in Chicago and Kansas City. She called his bid a “cynical campaign of hate and fear”. “You don’t make America great by getting rid of everything that has made America great in the first place”, she said. That might have been an acknowledgement that she did not stress those issues enough in blue-collar MI, where she lost the primary to Sanders last week. She supported those bad deals.
“There isn’t anything that they haven’t already said to me”, Clinton said, adding that she believes this will help her in what she thinks will be the “highest-stakes election”. “It is not acceptable to me and to the American people that the one-tenth of 1 percent now owns nearly as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. People have the right to protest, that’s what America is about, I’ve been on picket lines my whole life, but that is very difference from being involved in violence”, he said.

The race could come down to demographics. Sanders said that it was an insult, not only to the African-American community but to every one of the voters who supported and voted for Obama.
Hillary Clinton aligned with Bernie Sanders, who earlier denied having anything to do with alleged supporters that disrupted several of Trump’s rallies. Sanders sued Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted to allow 17-year-olds to vote in the presidential primary – underscoring the importance of that voting bloc to Sanders’ campaign.
Both candidates have picked up important endorsements in Ohio.
