Clinton on track despite sound defeat by Sanders in WV

“The national level is a different ball game this time around”, she added. Her target: suburban women voters, a critical bloc for the former secretary of state.

That contrast, and an apparent desire for a new set of priorities, was likely another problem area for Clinton, who has made a clear effort to align herself with the sitting president.

Clinton did not mention U.S. Sen.

Earlier, Trump unveiled a new nickname for Sanders, referring to him as “Crazy Bernie” in a pair of tweets. A majority believed trade with other countries diminishes job opportunities in the US, and almost a third of households that voted have a coal miner in the family.

“The economy does better when we have a Democrat in the White House”, Clinton told the crowd in Gloucester Township, noting that under Bill Clinton, the United States gained 23 million jobs.

The security logs bolster Mrs. Clinton’s assertion that her use of a personal email account to conduct State Department business while she was the secretary of state did not put American secrets into the hands of hackers or foreign governments.

But there is work left to do.

“People sometimes forget that before Trump was running for president he was one of the leaders of the so-called birther movement”, he said as thousands of his supporters booed the Republican presumptive nominee.

In Louisville, Clinton hit Trump directly for opposing the federal minimum wage (although Trump recently said he might raise it) and pushing to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Trump said during an interview on Fox on Tuesday night that he would like Ryan to chair the party’s July convention as planned.

There was no immediate comment from the Clinton or Trump campaigns. What the the media is doing is the equivalent of sticking its fingers in its ears and yelling, “La la la!” in an attempt to aggressively ignore the Sanders phenomenon. “Nobody has more respect for women than Donald Trump!”. Clinton is still on track to be the nominee, however, because of her current lead in pledged and unpledged delegates. “I’ve heard people tell me they’ve switched because they want to vote for Donald Trump”, chairman Belinda Biafore of the West Virginia Democratic Party told ABC News before the state’s Tuesday primary, which Trump and Sanders won handily.

Considering these numbers, the same Jeff Weaver suggests that the Democratic Party and the superdelegates should definitely support Bernie Sanders if they want to avoid a loss in November. Barack Obama for the nomination, she won over 70 percent of the rural West Virginia vote. “But we need to get started RIGHT NOW”, Mook said, quoted by The Washington Times.

Even as the primaries continue, Clinton has largely shifted her focus to the general election.

In a series of events and interviews over the weekend, Trump labeled Clinton an “enabler” in her husband’s scandals and affairs of the 1990s. “She would go after these women and destroy their lives”, Trump said at a rally over the weekend.

Asked by reporters about the attack on Monday, Clinton gave it a rhetorical shrug.

Like expected, a lot of people claimed that Bernie Sanders’ biggest advantage is that over the past years, he hasn’t been under the same spotlight as Hillary Clinton, but again, his campaign manager dismissed everything.
