Is Donald Trump right that women voters don’t like Hillary Clinton?

The candidate helpfully answered the question by showing that there is nothing normal about his campaign for the presidency. But graciousness is not a Trumpian concept.

“If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote”, Trump said of a woman who happens to have been, among other things, secretary of state and a twice-elected US senator from NY.

Graham added on CBS: “Hillary Clinton is an incredibly flawed candidate, but she will mop the floor with Donald Trump”.

Following his sweep in Tuesday’s primaries, Trump attacked Clinton, saying the “only card she has is the woman’s card”.

“I think the more conservative the one side is, the more liberal the other side becomes”, she said.

Yet no matter how much concern there is about Trump, some top Republicans say it could be a lot worse.

“Despite the fact that the “woman card” isn’t a thing, and, if it were, no woman would want it – what would it get you?” asked Jezebel’s Stassa Edwards.

It’s helpful when your opponent underscores your own talking points.

Trump is the champion of subliminal messaging. “And then when you get involved in endorsing someone for president, some Republicans agree with that choice and some don’t”.

Here’s a quick look at how the IN primaries work.

“I consider myself the presumptive nominee”. “Clinton needs 2,383 delegates to win the nomination, and now has 2,168 delegates”, against Sanders’s 1,401.

Democratic voters expect that one candidate will sew up the nomination before the party convention in July, although as many Sanders supporters say they think there will be an open convention as think there will be a victor beforehand. On Thursday, senior Trump adviser Paul Manafort continued the latest in a round of weekly outreach meetings, sitting down with roughly 16 House Republicans just steps from the Capitol. Trump seems determined to make that gap even wider.

Cruz campaign manager Jeff Roe said in a statement on Sunday that the Cruz campaign “will focus its time and resources in IN and in turn clear the path for Gov. Kasich to compete in OR and New Mexico, and we would hope that allies of both campaigns would follow our lead”. Trump is holding a pair of rallies in the state. Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich both demonstrated consistent support across genders.

Despite notching up more delegates and dominating the media agenda, Trump’s ultimate claim on the nomination remains far from certain. In January, Cruz’s campaign, led by Nehring and his vast political network, began identifying delegates for each district, ahead of other candidates. But Hillary is near the finish line thanks to 520 superdelegates, whereas Sanders only has 39 out of the pool that includes lawmakers and party elites.

A DNC investigation, the results of which were also released Friday, concluded that the wrongdoing did not go beyond the four Sanders staffers who accessed the database and were fired soon after the incident came to light. His name is Donald Trump.
