“I would hope Mr. Trump tones it down big time and tells his supporters that violence is not acceptable in the American political process”, Sanders said.

(AP) – Hillary Clinton rolled up primary victories in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina on Tuesday, dealing a severe blow to Bernie Sanders’ bid to slow her march toward the Democratic presidential nomination. Trump wins the Northern Mariana Islands (wherever the hell they are). “I’ll pay the legal fees”. In an obvious poke at Donald Trump, Kasich said he won’t take the “low road” and told a crowd, “The campaign goes on”.
Trump split the results.
Democrats’ process for choosing its 181 delegates is more complicated than Republican’s.
Kasich’s win in OH, his first in the nominating fight, makes him the candidate of choice for party leaders anxious Trump’s rowdy campaign will lead Republicans to defeat not only in the presidential race, but in state and U.S. congressional races.
“Popular Sitting Republican Governor Wins Home State”. Marco Rubio finished a distant third and fourth, respectively.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is closing his argument for IL votes by highlighting links between his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s troubled administration. And Kasich actually has a net positive favorable rating, unlike Ted Cruz, who is at negative 21, and Donald Trump, who is at negative 33.
Kasich has nearly no hope of winning enough delegates to secure the nomination outright.
Trump won easily in the Northern Mariana caucus on Tuesday, picking up nine delegates.
On fracking: “I’m going to do everything I can to try to regulate it and limit it. No president can stand up before you and say they’re going to ban it. …” “Well, I don’t know where he was when I was trying to get health care in ’93 and ’94, standing up (against) the insurance companies, standing up against the drug companies”. “Sanders overwhelmingly behind in the nomination contest – and without a clear path to catching up”, campaign manager Robby Mook wrote in a memo released Wednesday morning.
Cruz: 380,367 votes, 40.6%.
Each candidate used the different format of the town hall – where the candidate is alone on the stage with the moderators and audience – as an opportunity to not only give more complete or thoughtful answers to questions but to set the stage for the general election, regardless of which candidate wins the party nomination.
If Cruz can’t stop him, the fantasy of a brokered convention is foolishness and isn’t going to happen.
Majorities of Republican primary voters in all five states say they feel betrayed by politicians from the Republican Party, according to the exit polls.
Former 2008 vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin, who has endorsed Trump, pulled out of a Florida event for him on Monday.
Clinton won on the Democratic side with 50 percent of the vote. His cause gained momentum after the Nazi blitzkrieg in Europe in May 1940.
Down-ballot from the presidential race, there are plenty of other significant contests. Rubio left the race with 168 delegates.

In those two winner-take-all states, Trump was looking to top established home state candidates.
