“They don’t need my speeches to talk about Hillary Clinton”. With four victories on Tuesday, she now has 91% of the delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination.

Then he won all five of Tuesday’s primaries, earning over 50 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, and CT.
Reporter Kelly Wallace wrote an article for CNN in February titled, “Why the female generational divide for Hillary Clinton?” in which she noted, “Some 64 percent of women Democratic voters younger than 45 backed Bernie Sanders, while just 35 percent supported Clinton, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC/Marist College poll in New Hampshire last week”.
The target of the jibe, Hillary Clinton, responded she was happy to play the womancard if that meant standing up for women’s rights. Now she has 90 percent of the delegates she needs to win the Democratic nomination.
“Trump had a great night and moved much closer to the GOP nomination. It is going to be hard for party elites to withhold the nomination from him even if he is a few delegates short”, he said. “As far as I am concerned, this race is over”, Trump said, adding that his rival John Kasich, who has 153 delegates to his kitty, is simply wasting his time.
Dan Mahaffee, an analyst with the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress, echoed those thoughts.
“I would hope that there is a beginning of a pivot for him to make it really clear to his supporters what’s at stake against the Republicans”, said former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who supports Clinton. According to another NBC report after the primary, Cruz won two. “Cruz will continue to emphasize IN, but that won’t be enough to stop Trump, and California is increasingly looking to be IN Trump’s favor”.
The bottom line, he said, is that in another state, “you would be writing a completely different story”.
The next round is in New Jersey and California, where Trump is expected to do well. If he does the same in IN and California, he will nearly certainly be the nominee. The problem for Republicans, starting last summer when Trump vaulted to the polling lead, was that stopping him was never everyone’s top priority.
“California will have the most staff”, Sanders said. And it seems likely Clinton will find herself facing Donald Trump in the ensuing election. Her challenger, Bernie Sanders, told the Associated Press he has a “very narrow path and we are going to have to win some big victories”.
Sanders rededicated himself to the task at hand during a speech there today where he promised his supporters that he is ‘in this campaign to win and become the Democratic nominee’.
Having Fiorina on the ticket may help Cruz win over women voters, a glaring vulnerability in Trump’s campaign.
“He doesn’t need to make a 180 (degrees)”.
Theme one: politicians can’t accomplish anything, (so elect me, I’m an outsider and can get things done).

The Clinton campaign responded on Wednesday morning with an online video showing footage of the former secretary of state firing back at Trump’s comments on her gender.
