But her pointed comments in Los Angeles were the closest she has come to suggesting Sanders should move on to allow Democrats to concentrate on Trump, who became the presumptive GOP nominee this week after Republicans Ted Cruz and John Kasich ended their campaigns.

And while Clinton is still engaged in a primary election battle, with Sanders’ vowing to soldier on until the last of the Democratic primary voters have cast their votes, despite Clinton’s commanding lead in the delegate count, Fallon said that’s not a distraction from preparations underway for the general election.
But he added: “We know what we’re getting with Hillary, and it’s what I don’t want, so I’m going to vote for Donald Trump and hope that he will do what he said he was going to do”.
Sanders has won almost ten million votes in the primaries so far including his latest strong come-from-behind win in IN, and that is only a fraction of his national base of support, given that many states have closed primaries where independents – his strongest backers – have been barred from voting. “Forget this one, the primary is gone”.
Trump lamented the end of the primary season for all intents and purposes, saying he had fun competing in different states for days or weeks at a time.
“I wish the primaries were not over”, Trump joked. Let’s keep it going.
Trump said he was told that he is the only one left and didn’t need to go to West Virginia, that he will be the Republican nominee. “Go out and vote on Tuesday – we will win big”.
The state GOP leaves it up to voters elect convention delegates, who select the Republican nominee for president.
He slammed an alleged anti-coal industry remark she made in a March – “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business” – even though Clinton apologized for the remark this week, calling it a “misstatement”. Trump said as the crowd booed.
“I don’t know why he said that”, Savitt said, emphasizing Trump’s walk-back tweet from late last night.
Sanders’ win in IN likely won’t make much of a dent in Clinton’s lead of more than 300 pledged delegates. Mr. Murray is seeking for Mr. Trump to make the same very large and significant commitments to support the United States coal industry, which Senator Cruz has made.
On Monday, in Kentucky coal country, she said she would put the former president in charge of reviving jobs in communities hard hit by manufacturing losses.
Before Donald Trump came out to the stage at the Charleston Civic Center in West Virginia, it was clear where the crowd’s support was going.
It’s on Sanders to make certain that the base he has mobilized will stay active through the fall, even if he is not on the Democratic ticket.
A few months after Hillary Clinton folded her campaign and pledged fealty to the one who bested her, she popped up in a key role in the Obama administration.
“Save your vote”, Trump said.
“What I said was totally out of context from what I meant”, Clinton said in West Virginia as protesters gathered around.
Trump said he’s planning to help raise money for the Republican Party and hinted that he might have help from the party during the general election. “He says we’ve got to stop being so afraid of ourselves basically and do the things other countries are doing that actually work”, she told WUKY.
