Trump’s 2006 comments, she said, amounted to rooting for “people to get thrown out on the street”. In Florida, asked how they feel about the prospect of a Clinton nomination, 35 percent said “scared” and 25 percent said “concerned;” and 26 percent were “scared” and 33 percent were “concerned” about Trump’s nomination.

It was Mr Trump’s first stop in New Mexico, the nation’s most Hispanic state.
Over the last month Trump has surged 11 percentage points against Clinton, with even the more favorable polls showing a shrinking margin between the two.
Sanders’ campaign launched a $1.5 million ad buy in California on Tuesday and announced it would seek a recanvass in last week’s Kentucky primary, where he trailed Clinton by less than one-half of 1 percent. That could be because the former secretary of state is viewed nearly as unfavorably as the former reality TV star. United States presidential candidates have turned their attention to campaigning in earnest for the June 7th California primary election. The platform committee writes the democratic “platform”, the set of policies and principles that the Democratic nominee is supposed to support; but, in reality, the candidate is under no obligation to adhere to the platform.
Politically, it gives Sanders the opportunity to continue to call into question the results; allow some of his supporters to continue to allege that Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, who is close to the Clintons, put her finger on the scale; raise money – and do all of it at no cost. He is barnstorming the state, holding multiple rallies a day in hopes of connecting directly with grassroots supporters.
As SocialistWorker.org has stated in response to the illusions of some left-wing figures and organizations that Sanders will break from the Democrats, there’s no reason not to take him at his word. In the end, the rancorous debate in the run-up to the Democratic convention might even make it look to some people like there’s an actual democratic process going on.
Donald Trump is rising in the polls again.
Sanders added that he hoped Clinton would reconsider and cautioned her on assuming the Democratic nomination before voters had their say.
Clinton has won 54 percent of the delegates who decide the party’s nominee.
But despite the math, some Democrats are concerned that Sanders’ tactics could make it more hard to unite in the summer.
West, while he backs Bernie Sanders for president, has also expressed sympathy for Donald Trump, calling Trump “authentic”.
Clinton took the stage at the Johnson Family Practice Center – also known as the former physical education building around 6:15 p.m. – hours after Bernie Sanders addressed a packed Riverside Municipal Auditorium.
