That’s why Mrs. Clinton will be characterized as the “presumptive” nominee; she wouldn’t actually become the nominee until the vote at the convention. The story that Clinton tells in her speeches instead is about the abandonment of the progress made in the nineties. That up-and-up-and-up-again cadence that she uses when she’s promising the new jobs and infrastructure bound to come in her Administration was gone entirely.

The hastily scheduled event, which figures to host about 500 people, comes with polls showing the Democratic side of the California presidential primary virtually tied – even as the national math shows Clinton to be a lock for the nomination.
In other states the chasm between supporters of Sanders, a longtime independent U.S. Senator from Vermont who trounced Clinton in Minnesota’s March caucuses, and Clinton, a former first lady, NY senator and secretary of state who has majority backing from elected officials, have resulted in screamed obscenities at party conventions, threats and arrests and heckling. If Clinton were to have a repeat performance with Latino voters and pick up the remaining superdelegates, she would go into Monday with a little more than 50 delegates.
Clinton suggested on Thursday that Trump could start a war as president if a foreign leader “gotunder his very thin skin”. In Salinas, introduced by a local congressional candidate whose father was Bill Clinton’s budget director, Clinton said, as she often does, “It is a historic fact that the economy does better when we have a Democrat in the White House”.
She battered Trump over his character and his lack of coherent foreign policies, branding him “temperamentally unfit” and otherwise unprepared to lead the United States.
In a speech earlier this week, she described the businessman’s ideas as “just a series of freaky rants, personal feuds, and outright lies”.
Women voters support Clinton by a margin of 55 percent to Trump’s 33 percent, while men support Trump by a margin of 52 percent to 34 percent, according to the News Service of Florida.
With less than a week to go before the California presidential primary, Sanders is campaigning in northern California.
Clinton added: “I will leave it to the psychiatrists to explain his attraction to tyrants” before taking aim at Trump’s claim that being a global business tycoon equips him with significant global knowledge. “Are you the greatest?” After she speaks at the Rose Center (1410 All American Way, Westminster), she’ll speak at a private get-together at Crave restaurant in Santa Ana and separate stops in Culver City and San Bernardino.
Trump also hit out at the protesters – he labeled them “thugs” – who clashed with his supporters in California the previous evening, the latest in a string of his rallies to be marred by violence. People hurled eggs, and according to the Los Angeles Times a dozen or more people were punched. Curiel is an American, Indiana-born, and he spent years as a federal prosecutor in Southern California, where he was once targeted for assassination by the Arellano Felíx drug cartel, which controlled Tijuana.
For Joe Salazar, who represents a state legislative district north of Denver, a Sanders fundraising email meant $66,000 for his re-election campaign, more than double what he raised in his entire 2014 campaign.
“I am. After what she said about me today and her phony speech”.
