He’s sent few people to battleground states compared with likely Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, accumulated little if any research on her, and taken no steps to build a network capable of raising the roughly $1 billion needed to run a modern-day general election campaign. Nonetheless, Trump said, “It’s a sound bite”.

Meanwhile, Mr Sanders was facing a new round of questions about why he was even still running.
On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders insisted that his path to the nomination depends on the unlikely prospect of flipping superdelegates who are now committed to Mrs Clinton.
“They’re hanging by their fingernails”, said Trump, who urged the party to come together behind his candidacy.
Mr Trump dominated the talk show conversation on Sunday.
“The only card she has is the woman’s card”.
In the primaries, Trump has drawn a disproportionate amount of his support from men, with an average of 44 percent of men and 36 percent of women supporting him in states where exit polls were conducted. According to a majority of credible economists who have looked at his free college tuition and single-payer Medicare programs said that those two measures will cost the government approximately $1.4 trillion per year. That sentiment is more common among non-Trump supporters.
She has worked as his chief of staff and media consultant and “has his ear like no one else”, Sanders’ senior policy adviser David Weinstein said in the Times. That figure dips to 37% among Trump’s backers. With the Democratic National Convention less than three months away, only a monumental collapse or scandal will prevent Clinton from becoming the party’s nominee. But if no candidate captures a majority of the delegates at stake in primaries and caucuses by the time the final contests are complete June 7, 60% of Republican voters say the delegates should vote for the candidate with the most support in the primaries, 37% for the one they think is the best candidate. “We’re going into Cleveland, and it will be a contested convention”. Also this year, he attacked Mrs. Clinton as the enabling political spouse of a former president who Mr. Trump said had abused women.
Kasich began courting voters in OR and New Mexico this week as part of a trade with rival Ted Cruz for in, an unusual strategy that so far hasn’t been fruitful in derailing Trump’s lead. About two-thirds of Republican voters say Cruz’s selection won’t make a difference in whether they support him, should he win the nomination, though most, 55%, feel his selection reflects positively on his ability to make important presidential decisions.
While Sanders’s positions have energized the party’s base, he has only an outside shot of winning the party’s nomination.
Hillary Clinton has an nearly 300-point lead over Sanders in pledged delegates but a 777-point lead if superdelegates are counted.
“I mean, it would be nice if the Federal Bureau of Investigation moved it along”, Sanders said.
But more see the Democratic Party as divided now than said so in March. “I get all of that”, Clinton said.

HE might be lagging behind Hillary Clinton in both pledged delegates and superdelegates, as well as losing five out of the last six Democratic primaries, but Bernie Sanders isn’t going down without a fight. “I’m asking Democrats out there to take a pledge, along with me: ‘Vote Blue No Matter Who'”. The poll has a three-percent margin for error.
