“From long lines and dramatic understaffing to longtime voters being forced to cast affidavit ballots and thousands of registered New Yorkers being dropped from the rolls, what’s happening today is a disgrace”, he said.
On the Democrats side, Clinton has a tighter advantage over Sen. Voters older than 65 favor it narrowly, 43 to 42 percent.
“She expects to have a good night Tuesday, as well”, Salvanto told “Face the Nation”. Near Yale University, Sanders reiterated his call for Clinton to release transcripts of lucrative Wall Street speeches she delivered after leaving the State Department in early 2013. “I will continue to stand up and fight all the way into the White House”, Mrs Clinton told parishioners at Triumph Baptist Church in North Philadelphia.
The leading Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns put a heavy emphasis on Maryland on Sunday as both sought to reinforce their front runner status ahead of Tuesday’s primary election.
Pennsylvania is the biggest delegate prize of the five state voting Tuesday, 189 pledged delegates being allocated according to the percentage of votes scored. Trump has 40 percent support, Cruz is at 35 percent, followed by 20 percent for Kasich, according to the CBS poll.
“I do think it is time to tone down some of the rhetoric and the harshness of those disagreements”, said former Rep. Allyson Schwartz of Pennsylvania, a longtime Clinton supporter. The Vermont senator also reiterated his differences with Clinton over fracking, the use of super PACs, trade deals and the Iraq war, which he opposed, as the two campaign for the primaries Tuesday in Pennsylvania and four other states.
Trump needs 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination. Kasich spent time meeting individually with possible delegates, attempting to lock in their support, while the Cruz campaign circulated slates of approved delegates to Pennsylvania voters.
NBC’s Chuck Todd told Sanders that 17 of the 25 states with the highest levels of income inequality have voted so far in 2016, and that Clinton has won 16.
Trump was set to campaign in Maryland Sunday as a senior adviser charged that Cruz is “going to lose all five states and probably finish third in most of them” on Tuesday. A collapse of a “unity slate” of delegates that would have ensured supporters of Kasich, Cruz and Trump to share in the spoils from Maine’s convention prompted Maine Gov. Paul LePage – a Trump supporter – to claim a local Cruz campaign official “stabbed us in the back, reneged on the unity slate and betrayed the people of Maine”. He successfully stacked the roster with his loyalists this weekend in delegate elections in Utah, Maine and Minnesota.
Cruz also rebuked Trump’s recent suggestions that building separate transgender bathrooms is “discriminatory” and costly, saying Saturday that it should be “the choice of the given location, of the given local government to allow that, to provide for that”. “That’s his game at this point, okay, he’s mathematically eliminated, but that’s been his game from Day 1 because he’s not an appealing candidate to the general election voter”. If he falls short, the national Republican gathering in July will evolve into a rare contested convention.

The failure of both movement conservatives and established Republican politicians to stop Trump so far arises from their inability to imagine that someone could appeal simultaneously to moderates – they see Trump more as a manager and leader who could get things done – and to the party’s most hard-core right-wingers on immigration and race, and also in the ferociousness of his opposition to Obama.
