The rural, sparsely-populated state that’s home to former Vice President Dick Cheney is solidly Republican, so Democrats don’t spend time trying to win it in the general election.

While Sanders faces tough odds of overtaking Clinton, who has a commanding lead in delegates, his continued presence in the race has rankled the former secretary of state and prevented her from fully turning her attention toward the general election.
The spot takes aim at Trump’s recent assertion that women should be punished for getting abortions, a position he quickly reversed.
Every four years, thousands of people – Republicans and Democrats – make their way to a major city for somewhere between five days and two weeks to attend their party’s national convention.
Clinton’s up 53 percent to Sanders’s 37 percent in NY. To clinch the nomination by the end of the primaries, a candidate needs 1,237 delegates.
“What you’re going to see more and more of is Mr. Trump taking advantage of local situations when he’s there”, and tailoring his campaign message to the region, Brookover said.
Clinton’s support appears to be broad based throughout the Empire State, with about 50% support in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, as well as the suburbs of Nassau and Westchester counties and upstate NY. But his latest victory in Wyoming did nothing to help him in the delegate chase: Both Sanders and Clinton got seven delegates.
“These unbound delegates are important because they could deny Trump any opportunity to get over the magic number on the first ballot – or they could also push him over the top”, said Jason Osborne, a GOP operative versed in convention procedures who advised Trump’s campaign earlier this year but now is unaffiliated.
“The highest per capita number of guns that end up committing crimes in New York” is a statistic hard to pin down. Trump could pick up the full slate of New York’s 95 GOP delegates if he matches that support in each of New York’s 27 congressional districts – where a total of 81 delegates are at stake.
Among non-Hispanic white voters, the two candidates are almost tied, with Clinton at 48 percent and Sanders at 46 percent. “I think Hillary, she’s too mainstream government”.
Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump claim they have received far more votes in the primary/caucus process than their respective opponents and, by virtue of that, should be the nominee.
Clinton wrapped up her day with a campaign rally in Baltimore.
With neither front-runner strong enough to claim inevitability, their challengers stuck to the hope that, by winning more races and cosying up to delegates, they stand a chance of eventually grabbing their respective party nominations. And she is advocating for a ‘natural gas bridge to the future.’ What does that mean?
Sanders, a self-described Democratic socialist, has fared better in more progressive states like Wisconsin, Minnesota and his home state of Vermont.
“The Clinton campaign infrastructure that is in place has done a phenomenal job of securing pledged superdelegates very early on in the process”, said Tharon Johnson, a senior Democrat from Georgia, who was southern regional director for Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.
Twenty-three percent of Republicans and 38 percent of independents have a favorable view of Sanders, while 67 percent of Republicans and 32 percent of independents give him negative ratings. “Brothers and sisters, that is not Democracy, that is oligarchy”, Sanders told the crowd.

Sanders, who has called for nothing short of “revolution”, has attracted a large part of the youth vote, but he is faring poorly in comparison with Clinton among African-Americans in particular.
