The leading Republican presidential candidate claimed that Clinton, who won the primaries in four states, was leading in the Democratic race because of her gender.

Trump consistently loses to Clinton in hypothetical matchups because of her 20- to 30-point margins among women. US Representative Renee Ellmers, a Republican who has endorsed him, said she believed Trump could overcome his unpopularity with women voters with his straight talk.
“I think he can likely get to 1,237”, Christine Barbour of Indiana University at Bloomington said of Trump, adding “I’d say they (Cruz and Kasich) are in for the duration and we won’t know anything until California”.
Early in her first presidential campaign in 2008, Clinton accused her male opponents of “piling on” and said that would prompt more women to support her. Then-Senator Barack Obama’s comments during a debate in New Hampshire that year that she was “likable enough” were seen by some as patronizing, and as helping her win the state’s primary.
With all precincts counted, 40,471 of the county’s 109,697 registered voters cast ballots for Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary election, 18,000 more than voted in the last general primary and 23,000 more than voted in the 2012 general primary.
“I don’t think there’s going to be any taboos with Donald Trump”, said James Pethokoukis, a scholar with the conservative American Enterprise Institute.
“I call her crooked Hillary. That’s it. And she’s playing it as much as she can”, Trump said on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” on Thursday.
The general election campaign will officially start at the end of July after each party has formally made their nomination.
For good measure, Trump took a preemptive shot on “Good Morning America” at Carly Fiorina, even before Ted Cruz announced that she would be his vice presidential running mate.
“The Republican candidates are achieving new lows every day – suggesting women be punished for their health care decisions”, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards said in a statement Tuesday night. The former won in Delaware, Connecticut, Maryland and Pennsylvania, while the latter prevailed in all five states, surpassing Texas Sen.
Trump is giving a foreign policy speech Wednesday where he will discuss his vision for North Atlantic Treaty Organisation; maybe Cruz and Kasich can take notes on how to shore up an alliance. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s over”.
Just when Carter seemed to have things wrapped up, Kennedy would get a big win. Cruz has agreed not to compete with Kasich in New Mexico and Oregon. There are 616 delegate not yet allocated, according to Bloomberg Politics.
On Tuesday night, three were elected for each of the state’s 18 congressional districts. With a big delegate lead, she has in recent weeks both focused criticism on Trump at her campaign rallies, while also making overtures to supporters of her rival, Bernie Sanders.
“What a great night”, Clinton told a thrilled crowd of supporters in Philadelphia.
Our Principles PAC – an anti-Trump group funded by the party’s mega-donors including billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer and the Ricketts family, which owns the Chicago Cubs baseball team, is spending seven figures in IN opposing Trump, said the group’s chair Katie Packer, who declined to reveal the exact amount of spending.
Clinton needs 2,383 delegates to win the nomination, and now has 2,168 delegates, including more than 500 “super-delegates”, against Sanders’s 1,401.

Wayne Buckwalter ran for delegate on a promise to vote for Trump, and he said he’ll stick with that candidate no matter what.
