“What we can not do with Donald Trump is normalize him as a candidate”, Garcetti told reporters Tuesday.
“What we need is a political revolution”, Bernie Sanders said. Sanders’ supporters began to chant, “This is fixed!” and “No confidence!” True, but voter turnout is typically so low in party caucuses that they have little impact on the popular vote margin between candidates.
This rapid shift has been attributed to Trump’s ability to consolidate support in the GOP while Clinton is still in the middle of a contentious Democratic primary.
Since 1984, according ABC News/Washington Post polls, the presidential nominee with the highest unfavorable rating was George H.W. Bush in his 1992 re-election bid, when he lost to Bill Clinton.
The strong feelings voters have about the candidates is impacting their support; of the registered voters who plan to vote for Trump in November, more of them oppose Clinton than actually support the NY businessman. Candidates often become more popular once it is clear that they have secured the nomination, as happened with John Kerry in 2004, and their image changes from contender to victor.
Sanders said in a statement Monday night he was “disappointed but not surprised” by Clinton’s decision not to participate.
Clinton addressed a wide range of issues, including immigration reform, wage inequality, and student loan relief. Listen. Listen to Bernie Sanders and his supporters.
