“I always get a little chuckle when I hear my opponent talking about doing it”, Clinton said at an event Saturday.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. “We all have our differences and we know many people across the country feel angry”. “You don’t make America great by getting rid of everything that made America great in the first place”.
In the 21 contests where Democrats have allocated delegates, Clinton has won 12 states and amassed more than 1.6 million more votes and some 200 more pledged delegates than Sanders.
“I’m having foreign leaders ask if they can endorse me to stop Donald Trump”, Clinton said, though she declined to name names.
Bernie Sanders called on Trump to “tell his supporters that violence in the political process in America is not acceptable”. A Park Ridge native, Clinton was once thought to be unbeatable in her home state but in recent day polls have shown Sanders closing the gap.
Trump also told voters not to bother voting unless they were picking him.
Eight years later, Clinton is again in a lengthy primary that seems certain to extend longer than most people imagined.
Trump blamed supporters of Democratic candidate Sanders for the incidents in Chicago, where scuffles broke out between protesters and backers of the real estate magnate.
“The excitement and the energy for large voter turnouts is with the Sanders campaign”, he said. “He’s encouraging violence and chaos”.
At the same time, Sanders dismissed the idea that he was responsible for the actions of all his supporters. “He’s a person that I don’t think he could be elected dogcatcher in Florida, frankly”.
The candidates also appeared separately at the CNN town hall meeting. Trump was favored by 41.4 percent of the Republicans polled while Clinton had 59.4 percent support from the Democrats polled.
Clinton’s team argues that once Sanders lost the delegate lead, it became very hard to regain control of the race because delegates are awarded proportionally. Defending his position on trade, Sanders said that he did not want to cut off the United States from global trade flows.
“If he’s not the nominee, then I think Hillary will benefit as did Barack Obama when she challenged him all the way to the end”, Devine said.
Sanders and Clinton seem to respond fairly well to the town hall setting – in which each is interviewed separately, in this case by CNN’s Jake Tapper and TV One’s Roland Martin – and as Tuesday’s key primaries in Florida, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina and Missouri approach, both Democratic candidates will be conscious of the extremely high stakes at play.
Clinton stressed the importance of rejecting trade deals that kill jobs. “I opposed them”, Sanders said.
“That would increase tourism, that would increase commerce, that would increase the opportunity for people to go quickly back and forth”, she said.
David Ravanesi, a Trump volunteer at the event, said Ms. Newton was only asked to take down her sign and was not asked to leave the event.
Former president Bill Clinton campaigned for his wife in Chicago on Sunday, speaking at two black churches.
“We are going to pull together and stay together and stand up against those powerful forces”.
“I’d never been involved politically until Bernie got in the race”, Mr. Manning said.
A new poll indicates Bernie Sanders could sweep the three Midwestern states staging primaries on Tuesday, but he will need crossover voters to do it.

“Maybe, just maybe, the time is right to create an economy that works for all of us, not just wealthy campaign contributors” who buy political influence and favors, Sanders said.
