Clinton, her aides and supporters have largely resisted calling on Sanders to drop out, noting that she fought her 2008 primary bid again Obama well into June.

Weaver said the Democratic Party – and its superdelegates who are free to support either candidate – must reject Clinton and embrace Sanders, or face a crushing defeat in November.
Overall, Trump now has 1,135 delegates, 92 per cent of what he needs for the Republican presidential nomination. They are targeting three races in which they will tie Republican candidates to Trump’s rhetoric through flyers, phone calls and door-to-door campaigning, said Rick Palacio, chairman of the state’s Democratic Party.
The argument goes something like this: We the people (meaning a plurality of Republican Primary voters) have spoken. “So no one’s in flawless shape, to say the least!”, Skelley added.
Clinton will get campaigning help when former President Bill Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, stump in the state Friday.
According to two sources familiar with the New York GOP, a small number of interested delegates have made it known they no longer want to be a delegate.
Given the Democratic Party’s proportional allocation system, Sanders stood to only modestly boost his delegate total with his West Virginia win.
Coming off victory in the West Virginia primary, his 20th win of the primary season, Sanders’ campaign said on May 11 the Democratic Party would be courting “disaster” if it nominates Clinton as its presidential nominee.
However, Webb said she would be “more conflicted” about whether she would vote for Clinton if Sanders were her vice presidential nominee.
Kulongoski, who served as OR governor from 2003 to 2011, will also back Clinton in the race, Elisa Donozo, a member of Clinton’s OR campaign, said.
Featuring various Republicans criticizing the billionaire and clips of Trump’s most inept moments, the presumptive Democratic nominee isn’t taking any chances on Mr. Trump. But the loss is still a bad sign coming at a bad time for Clinton.
She thinks Sanders is “a wonderful person” who has “the best interests of the people in mind”.
And in Indiana, Joshua Claybourn, an Evansville lawyer involved in local Republican politics, said he will relinquish an RNC delegate slot he had already secured. “I’m exhausted of voting for the lesser of two evils”.
“I think everybody knows what that math is”, Obama told reporters last week, referring to the raw delegate count that shows scant opportunities for Sen.
She believes most of Sanders’ critics are misinformed about him.

Another local Sanders supporter, Mark Clemmons of Figsboro, said, “I’m Bernie all the way, even if I have to write him in. To me, that would be the best outcome”.
