Donald Trump moved closer to the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday by winning the Washington primary, CNN projected. He added the debate “would have such high ratings”.

As for the issues, Trump and Kimmel also discussed the recent controversy where Trump appeared to be pretending to be his own publicist in a 1991 interview with the Washington Post – Trump denied the voice in a recording of the interview was him – and Trump’s stance on the transgender bathroom laws now being passed in many states across the country.
In an email to The Associated Press in response to questions about Warren’s remarks, Trump said: “She’s one of the least successful Senators in the U.S. Senate”.
“Game on”, he tweeted.
Clinton and top surrogates, including former President Bill Clinton, argue a victory here maximizes the Democratic Party’s chances of putting up a united front against likely GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump heading into the parties’ conventions in July.
“We look forward to following up and making sure it happens”, Briggs said.
According to Politico, no formal announcements from the campaigns about the details of the debate have been made yet, but Sanders is scheduled to appear on Kimmel tonight so perhaps we’ll get more details.
With fewer than 100 delegates needed before clinching the Democratic nomination – counting both pledged and superdelegates – Clinton hopes to sprint to the finish line so she can fully pivot to the general election. “Having Trump debate a socialist?” But some worry that his supporters – who are largely young, working-class and disillusioned with the Democratic Party establishment – will turn instead to political neophyte Trump, who has championed a populist agenda. When Kimmel asked Trump about the apparent flip-flop, Trump blamed the comments on the realities of being a businessman, claiming that as a businessman he would speak favorably about any politician and give donations to anyone who asked in order to win favors.
Dale Ranney, 62, a Trump volunteer who has been to 21 of his rallies, said she would be delighted to see Trump and Sanders debate.

“I’m very appreciative to him for bringing [this] out about Clinton”, she said. “Absolutely. Go for it”.
