In a HuffPost blog succinctly titled, 33 Percent of Bernie Sanders Supporters Will Not Vote for Hillary Clinton. Also, Barack Obama declared that Hillary Clinton was “an outstanding secretary of state”, while back in 2015, he said that “she would make an excellent president”. And if the self-proclaimed socialist senator from Vermont wins the upcoming Western primaries, he could erase Clinton’s lead and become the new front-runner for the nomination.

The self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist outpaced Clinton in January as well, having taken in $20 million to Clinton’s $15 million.
The Times also reported that Obama acknowledged that many Democrats were not “excited” about Clinton’s candidacy and Clinton lacked the “authenticity” of Sanders.
But Mrs Clinton, the former US Secretary of State, said: “America can’t ever be neutral when it comes to Israel’s security and survival”.
Sanders said he fully expects the party to unite after the primaries.
The president proceeded to praise Clinton as an intelligent and capable candidate but admitted that voters did not view her as authentic. Hillary Clinton will speak at a rally in Phoenix Monday.
Even with a proportional allocation of super delegates based upon their underlying state or territory, Sanders needs to win a whopping 57.2% of the remaining 2469 delegates and vote in the rest of the primaries and caucuses to overtake Clinton. They are split between those who doubt whether Trump is a true conservative and others who fear his nomination would lead the party to a crushing defeat in November, assuming Clinton is the Democratic nominee.
Bernie Sanders really fits right in, despite his honesty.
More than 30,000 people came out in support of Bernie Sanders in Washington state alone on Sunday; close to 10,000 of them were from Spokane. The good news for Trump is that he easily beats Cruz for the state’s 95 delegates by more than 50 points: 64 – 12. But Democrats have won over about 35 per cent to 40 per cent of white men in almost every presidential election since 1988. “We will go into Cleveland with momentum and then the delegates are going to consider two things: number one, who can win in the fall, and I’m the only one that can”.

Shortly after the United States reached the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal with 11 other countries in the Pacific Rim under the auspices of Obama last October, Sanders bashed the trade agreement as “disastrous”. Kasich will be actively running his campaign.
