Still, it would be “an uphill climb” to win the nomination, Sanders said.

Sanders then delivered his most direct call yet for superdelegates in states where he defeated Clinton to consider switching allegiances and throwing their support behind him.
That makes IN, which will award 57 delegates after its primary Tuesday, all that much more important for Cruz if he wants to stop Trump from reaching the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination. Clinton’s campaign has not yet released April fundraising numbers.
Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager, said Monday that Clinton “has always made it a priority to help Democrats up and down the ballot which is why we are proud to be helping to fund the coordinated campaign that will make up the heart of the Democratic organizing efforts for local, state and federal candidates this fall”.
Bernie Sanders said Tuesday that his primary bid against Hillary Clinton was far from over, pointing to his victory in IN and strength in upcoming races as a sign of his durability in the presidential campaign.
Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton Sunday told a crowd of hundreds at her Indianapolis rally that her presidency would be one of unity, not division.
Even if he does, which is unlikely, Clinton has a huge lead among superdelegates who have pledged to support her at the convention.
“The only thing she’s got going is the woman’s card”, Trump said. Sanders raised $25.8 million in April – short of his campaign’s hauls of $44 million in March and $43.5 million in February, his campaign said Sunday.
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.
One said the woman card entitled bearers to longer bathroom lines and yields only $78 when a woman tries to withdraw $100.
Overall, 91 percent of Republican voters said Trump was going to ultimately be the party’s nominee.
Clinton leads Sanders by about 300 delegates with just over 1,000 still up for grabs. “I only tell the truth, and that’s why people vote for me”, Trump said.
“It is incumbent upon every superdelegate to take an objective look at which candidate stands the better chance of defeating Donald Trump and other Republican candidates”, he said.
The Democratic National Committee has so far declined to get in between the two campaigns.
After all, using primary gibes in a general election is par for the course.
“And the Sanders campaign is increasingly insistent on this point now”, Maddow said, in a surprising tone.

Sen. Sanders, you have also been asked on several occasions, “If you do not win the nomination, will you ask your supporters to support Secretary Clinton?”.
