Hillary Clinton is packing her campaign schedule with new stops across California ahead of next week’s delegate-rich primary, in an apparent bid to forestall a Bernie Sanders win as her rival climbs in the polls and barnstorms the state in pursuit of a dramatic upset.
“Not for this election, not for this convention, but certainly going forward I think it would be much more in the spirit of a populous Democratic Party if we had a different, more direct system”, he said.
“Clinton’s lead is insurmountable and Democrats have shown – by millions of votes – that they want her as their nominee”, Brown said in a statement on his website titled “An open letter to California Democrats and Independents”.
“We are prepared to de-register from the Democratic Party and explore other options”. “What we have got to do is recognize is that addition and drug abuse are not criminal issues, but health issues”, said Sanders.
A protester also tried to jump onto Sanders’s stage in March during a rally in Ohio. “In 1992, I attempted a similar campaign”.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is headed back to Northern California for rally, where officials are expecting about 5,000 people. The general election has already begun.
The streets leading to the Kaiser Permanente Arena in downtown Santa Cruz buzzed with energy from the long line of Bernie Sanders supporters, which stretched around the block. “They are going to work hard together”. Sanders himself has seemed to take up the challenge of competing to be the best candidate in running against Donald Trump. It is true that Democratic candidates tend to win stronger favour from the legal community than their Republican counterparts when it comes to campaign donations, but the size of the chasm between Ms Clinton and Mr Trump is striking. As part of that effort, Clinton has previously hammered Trump for appearing to cheer for the collapse of the USA housing market and for failing to make good on pledges to donate to veterans until he was pressured to follow through by the media.
The Sanders campaign’s bank account got its first big hit in January 2016, when it spent nearly $35 million and saw its cash on hand dip to about $14.7 million.
Newspapers and pundits cite a “Bernie or Bust” phenomenon, voters who say they will only vote for Sanders and pledge not to vote at all if he isn’t on the ticket.
Clinton is still expected to lock up the nomination before the polls close in the Golden State, but a loss in California would amount to a deeply symbolic wound in a state she carried in the 2008 presidential primary against then-Sen.

“We can guarantee you there will be a political revolution”, Taylor said at a recent meeting with other local Sanders supporters and organizers. His many voters find the Sanders platform resonates with them and clearly they are exhausted of establishment politics; many would follow him to a third-party run. Sanders’ ideas and take their protests elsewhere.
