Sharonville – Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump used a stop in southwestern Ohio July 6 to call Democrat Hillary Clinton “crooked” and certain members of the news media “sick”.

The New York Times reported Thursday that Democrats involved in the planning offered that the endorsement could come Tuesday as Clinton campaigns in the Granite State.
(CNN)A pair of new ads from the Hillary Clinton campaign highlight Donald Trump’s past statements in depicting the Republican nominee as a lightweight unfit for office.
Sanders denied that his fellow Democrats are frustrated with his resistance and accusing him of “self-obsession” in his continued attempts to win the presidential nomination.
The endorsement from Mr Sanders looks more likely after Ms Clinton revealed her plan to scrap tuition fees for students attending public in-state colleges and whose parents earn less than $125,000 per year.
Sanders declined to say whether he could embrace Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, whom many Sanders supporters see as too accommodating of Wall Street, if Clinton taps Kaine as her running mate. But his campaign insisted Sanders didnt mean the comments as a formal endorsement of Clinton. Still, while 58% of Sanders supporters think that the party will unite behind Clinton (compared with 82% of Clinton’s backers), just 28% of voters who supported candidates other than Trump believe that the party will unite behind him (compared with 52% of his primary supporters). As Hillary heads into the stretch run of the general election, Sanders has begun to suffer the slings and arrows of Democrats who’ve clearly been holding some stuff back and want Sanders to step down.
Clinton made no mention of the FBI’s withering criticism Tuesday accompanied its recommendation that she not face actual charges for her email practices as secretary of state.
Factoring the Pew results into CNN’s Poll of Polls, Clinton averages 47% support over the five most recent publicly released nationwide telephone polls, while Trump stands at 40%. When asked which candidate would have an upward impact on home prices, 39 percent said prices would rise under a President Trump while 29 percent said prices would go up under a President Clinton. Later that night, Sanders confirmed those reports.
Before agreeing to speak at the Republican National Convention later this month, Governor Scott Walker talked with Donald Trump in a conversation set up by Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus.
Clinton’s joint appearance with Warren – their first of the campaign – was viewed by many as an audition for the ticket.

In 2016, however, Sanders beat Clinton in Unity 201 to 67.
