Hillary Clinton is tearing into Donald Trump in a new television spot airing ahead of the NY primaries, with the Democratic frontrunner ripping her GOP counterpart on proposals she dismisses as divisive and unsafe.

On the republican side, Senator Ted Cruz appears poised to pick up some more delegates in Colorado after locking up 21 on Friday at the state party’s convention. If Trump folds only because of negative advertising and hostile media, that alone should have unbound delegates thinking twice about a Trump nomination, especially with Hillary Clinton and a mainstream media already hostile to Republicans waiting after the conventions.
WASHINGTON (AP) – For Americans of almost every race, gender, political persuasion and location, disdain for Donald Trump runs deep, saddling the Republican front-runner with unprecedented unpopularity as he tries to overcome recent campaign setbacks.
In hypothetical head-to-head general election matchups, Clinton leads Trump 49.6% to 39% in the RCP averages. Using 2012 as a baseline, imagine if 8 percent of Republicans did not even turn out (down over 3 million Republicans) and of 92 percent who showed up, 28 percent (nearly 11 million) did not vote for Trump.
Trump tells a crowd of thousands of enthusiastic supporters gathered in a frigid airport hangar in Rochester, New York on Sunday afternoon that “it’s not right” that the person who wins the most votes may not be the nominee. The two-term Democratic president – who leaves office in January – says that’s because American politics “value sensationalism or conflict over cooperation, and we don’t have the ability to compromise”.
The majority of GOP voters don’t want Trump.
Six months ago, when Trump was lapping the field in public opinion polls, I argued that he would ultimately fail because “American voters are more sensible than many poll-obsessed journalists and commentators give them credit for”. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have done a “service” to reveal the “nonsense” of the current Congress. But the new direction is being praised as a smart move, even by Republicans strongly opposed to Trump.
“The people that I was talking about are the liberal New York Democrats who have hammered this state”. If he fails to hit that number, the GOP contest will be decided at the party’s convention in July and it’s unclear whether Trump’s slim campaign operation is prepared for that complex challenge.
The leftist Vermont Senator may be likeable and may say things that appeal to the same young voters who helped bring Obama to the White House.
They’ve both said they regret the bill because it contributed to high incarceration rates of black people for nonviolent crimes, like minor drug offenses.
Breaking from his unscripted style, Trump will soon begin delivering a series of policy speeches aimed at quelling concerns that Trump is an insufficiently presidential or polished candidate. A Trump nomination would be a crushing loss for Republicans, not only at the top of the ticket but also all the way down the line, in large part because Trump is a huge net loser of Republican votes.
She said she didn’t understand the delegate process and believes that the victor should be decided by popular vote. It has a sample error of plus or minus 3.3 percent.
