Ever since Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee for president, he’s been focusing most of his attacks on his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and imploring her challenger to enter the race as an Independent.

Back in Kentucky, Clinton easily won the state’s primary over Barack Obama in 2008.
Also today the northwest state of OR holds its Democratic and Republican primaries, where limited polling has indicated Clinton is ahead.
More than 100 Bernie Sanders supports took to Washington Street yesterday afternoon to deliver a simple message: “New Jersey wants Bernie”.
“In a number of places, for a lot of issues, jobs, integrity, coal, for example, in Pennsylvania and OH and elsewhere, we think there are a number of issues that allow us to expand the map”.
She then added, using a quick cadence to show she has specifics, “I am going to say, ‘Here is what we are going to do, here is what we are going to do, here is how we are going to change the tax code, here is how we are going to incentivize people to do it'”. “And we think we’re going to be successful”, Manafort said.
But Charles Koch may have spoken for many in the wealthy conservative class when he wondered out loud recently if Ms Clinton would be a better bet than Mr Trump to run the country. With Donald Trump set as the presumptive Republican nominee, those on Clinton’s team would like to turn their attention to the general election contest, but they still can’t fully make that shift. She spent Monday campaigning in Kentucky, whose primary is also Tuesday. Just two weeks away from locking in the required delegates, Clinton has no choice but to grin and bear Sanders’ futile challenge, or risk alienating the very supporters she will need come November against Trump.
John Barrasso of Wyoming, the Senate’s No. 4 Republican, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on “The Situation Room” that it would be a “good idea” for Trump to do so, though he did not specifically call on Trump to release his returns. Clinton “talks” of reforms but embraces Wall St. Trump “talks” of reforms but embraces a Sociopath, (Chris Christie), who unwaveringly supports only the 1%.
She’s not in the winner’s circle yet, but Clinton’s already lining up key work-horses for her stable. Following these rules, Sanders would have to win about 70% of the remaining pledged delegates to clinch the nomination.

“That could end up really hurting her”, Gross said. He’s held three OR rallies this year, while front-runner Hillary Clinton has not visited. She consistently has performed well among Democrats – even in West Virginia, where she lost overall to Sanders but won 49 percent to 45 percent among those registered as Democrats. “I think Bernie Sanders’ real hope is that he can energize people over those sentiments toward the coal industry”.
