Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speak at an event in Los Angeles. Throughout our subsequent history, the original two parties have changed nearly every aspect of their being-names, values, demographics.

It’s not clear what time election results will be available.
Front-runner Donald Trump is in the lead with 33%, but OH governor John Kasich isn’t far behind – he’s at 33%. That leaves mainstream conservatives stuck between a rock and a hard place. Sanders, has 920 pledged delegates and 26 superdelegates. So what will happen?
Whoever wins, the delegate prize will be relatively small – just 34 delegates are at stake. But Arizona was projected as a very good state for him, and there was at least a decent chance that he could have taken a few delegates in Utah (by holding Cruz under 50 percent, which would have allowed some proportional allocation of delegates) or, for that matter, in American Samoa.
If a nominee is supported by less than 15 percent of voters present, they will be asked to realign.
“This election has not really settled into what it’s going to be for the general election”. McIntosh says voters “now overwhelmingly know the problems” with Trump.
Looking at David Wasserman’s delegate targets at FiveThirtyEight, Trump fell another 12 delegates below the level where Wasserman believes the reality television star should be to get on track for 1,237 delegates and the nomination.
This technique is based entirely on the words the candidates are using, without taking into account who said them.
“I understand the passion with which they are approaching these issues, because they are the same I have been fighting for for many years”, she said, pointing to her efforts to help recent immigrants and her pro-abortion-rights stance. His voters might stay home, defect from the party, riot, or all of the above. After Tuesday’s primaries, he trails Clinton by more than 300 delegates in the race to win a majority for the nominating convention in Philadelphia in July, not counting the more than 400 party leaders and other so-called superdelegates who have announced their support for her.
“The percentage of the vote won does not guarantee that the national delegates will be applied proportionally”, Jake Hamburg, a spokesman for the Alaska Democratic Party, said in an email to The Associated Press. This is simultaneously why Sanders won’t stop competing against Clinton one second before he’s required to and why the Democratic Party apparatus would like him to stop competing with her altogether. Sanders has out fundraised Clinton and history has revealed Clinton, and her husband, are not very popular there. Maybe they can recover from that, but maybe they can’t.
“We’re going into a period of the process where we feel we can win”. Voters will have the option of voting for the Democratic candidates in that May 24 election, but their vote wont count for anything other than a statewide straw poll. The former Secretary of State’s lead is significant. Both camps are airing political ads.
