Hillary Clinton has outraised Bernie Sanders for the first time in months.

Though Sanders later walked those comments back, Trump said he’s “going to use that”. Opinion polls show Clinton holding a small lead there, 50 percent to 44 percent, according to an average compiled by RealClearPolitics.
In his victory speech after winning the Republican primary in New York, Trump also said, “If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she would get 5 percent of the vote”. Gohmert, a longtime supporter, expressed his wonderment that “the most dishonest man in the race calls the most honest man ‘Lyin'”.
Whether anti-Clinton supporters of the democratic socialist senator really would gravitate toward the billionaire businessman – or simply stay home – is an open question.
The Clinton campaign separately announced results of a special fund-raising appeal that sought to profit from Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s remark last week that all Clinton had going for her was “the woman’s card”.
“He will not get that support”, Sanders concluded.
“He needs to set the tone”.
In spite of that, Clinton is squarely in the lead when looking at the total number of delegates.
Now, it must be clear that no matter who superdelegates say they are supporting today, they don’t actually vote until the convention in July.
One Sanders supporter, for instance, started a “Superdelegate List”, posting the names and phone numbers of superdelegates for targeted lobbying.
Trump unquestionably routed his opponents among female voters during the four recent primaries for which exit polls exist.
In the meantime, Trump dismissed both Cruz and OH governor John Kasich, a third candidate, as “the leftovers”, and waxed confident that he would be the nominee.
‘I think that he is not somebody who even within the Republican Party can be considered as equipped to deal with the problems of this office, but look, we live in a democracy, ‘ Obama said.
A Clinton campaign aide refuted some of Politico’s report Monday, arguing that $4.5 million has already been transferred to state parties and that an additional $9 million “will be distributed over the coming months as state parties ramp up for the general election”.
Trump is the only candidate in the race who can reach the 1,237 delegates needed for the GOP nomination through regular voting, though Cruz is trying to push the race toward a contested convention.
“We can not let Barack Obama’s legacy fall into Donald Trump’s hands”, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has said. But it isn’t close, and Clinton has continued to maintain a wide lead.
On the Democratic side, 51% say Clinton is their top choice for the nomination, 43% Sanders, that’s about the same as in March.
After multiple defeats, low voter turnout, and massive downsizing, the Sanders campaign is now playing every last card it can to scrape together as many delegates as possible.
