The sudden departures of Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich ended their bids, there were some early signs that a sliver of the party might see Clinton as the only option.

And after shocking many by beating Clinton in the fundraising race for the first three months of the year, the Sanders campaign reported a more modest $26-million haul in April, $10 million less than Clinton pulled in last month.
“He is a loose cannon, and loose cannons tend to misfire”, Clinton said in an interview with CNN, citing Trump stances including an allegation that climate change was a Chinese hoax.

Tracey Kingery, a Republican from Des Moines, Iowa, said she, too, was unsure about how to vote. “I think that’s just downright unsafe”.
