Sanders has also criticized the Democratic National Committee over a fundraising agreement with Clinton’s campaign.

In a matchup against Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton, Trump faired pretty poorly among 18- to 29-year-old voters.
“Where I come from – where we all come from – we never waited for someone else to show up and solve our problems”, said Mr. Kasich, who argued at Montour High School for low taxes and a slimmer national debt.
But in the rest of the states on Tuesday, Sanders is the underdog.
“I’d love to see a woman president, but she’s the wrong person”.
And at least for now, Sanders says he isn’t going anywhere.
“If we can significantly increase voter turnout so that low-income people and working people and young people participated in the political process, if we got a voter turnout of 75 percent, this country would be radically transformed”, Sanders said. “We’re not talking about reassessing”. Bernie Sanders needs a lucky break. Maryland is second to Pennsylvania in importance for the Republican or Democratic primaries on the April 26 slate. Any of the states could play a crucial role in deciding whether front-runner Donald Trump gets his party’s nomination.
The arrangement does not address Tuesday’s primaries, where Trump is expected to add to his already hefty delegate lead. Instead, she deepened her attacks on Mr Trump, casting the billionaire businessman as out of touch with Americans.
“I think we stand a very good chance to win some of the states today”. Opinion polls show him leading in all five, prompting Cruz and John Kasich, the third Republican in the race, to announce an anti-Trump alliance.
Cruz in particular has been successfully manoeuvring in state party conventions to have individuals named to delegate slots who, though bound to Trump on the first ballot, would be sympathetic to Cruz in subsequent rounds when they are free to vote for whomever they choose.
She leads in all five states that vote Tuesday, although in CT and Rhode Island she’s ahead by only single digits.
“The fact is, I don’t have unlimited resources”, Kasich said Tuesday on NBC’s “Today”, downplaying the collaboration as merely a logical step if he is to win the nomination in a contested convention.
Mr Cruz and Mr Kasich’s public admission of direct co-ordination was highly unusual and underlined the limited options they now have for stopping the real estate mogul.
According to the surprise deal, Kasich will forego campaigning in IN, which votes May 3, and Cruz will return the favour later in New Mexico and OR to try to deprive Trump of victories there. Trump still faces the threat that he will not secure enough delegates to win the nomination without a convention fight.
While the statewide Republican victor gets 17 delegates, the other 54 are directly elected by voters and can support any candidate at a convention.
The Texas senator, meanwhile, has put out word that he has begun weighing possible running mates, including former White House hopeful Carly Fiorina.

But even as Clinton marches toward the nomination, some Democrats are concerned about her ability to bring Sanders’ supporters into the fold.
