Meanwhile, Republican front-runner Donald Trump echoed Sanders’ claims that the system is “rigged”, erupting on Fox News over his loss of recently-allocated delegates in Colorado to rival Ted Cruz.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton also leads her primary opponent, Vermont Sen.
Sha also said because Hamas fighters blend in with the civilian population it is a “difficult undertaking for Israel to target” fighters. He would need to win almost 60 percent of all the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination before the convention.
A swing through upstate NY is providing Bernie Sanders with a fresh opportunity to contrast himself with Hillary Clinton on fracking – an oil and gas drilling method that’s been banned in the state.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton laughs as she listens to Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) speak on a gun control panel in Port Washington, N.Y., on April 11. Trump’s organizational weakness in that type of contest was underscored Saturday when he was swept by Ted Cruz in the Colorado Republican convention.
But ultimately his common cause with Sanders boiled down to their common disdain for Clinton. But now, with Sanders having won the previous seven primaries, many are asking what might become the decisive question of the 2016 presidential primary season: will Bernie Sanders win NY?
Clinton hopes to capture what her team says would be an all-but-insurmountable lead by the end of the month in primaries in NY and other Eastern states. The at-large delegates will be allocated in proportion with a candidate’s statewide vote, the GOP said.
Clinton has 1,287 delegates based on primaries and caucuses to Sanders’ 1,037. New York, which Clinton represented in the Senate for eight years, holds its primary next Tuesday.
The Texas senator has cast himself as more electable than Republican rival Donald Trump, in part because of organizational advantages in the complicated and tedious process of collecting delegates heading into the summer national convention.
“A more traditional approach is needed and Donald Trump recognises that”, Paul Manafort, Trump’s new delegate chief, said yesterday on NBC’s “Meet the Press“.
Trump’s campaign said in a statement after his museum visit that the site was “symbolic of the strength of our country, and in particular New Yorkers, who have done such an incredible job rebuilding that devastated section of our city”.
He says he’s doing fine, but if he’s denied the nomination, “you’re going to have a big problem, folks”.
“We are closing very fast”, Sanders said.
“I think Sen. Sanders is going to do very very well here”.
Hillary Clinton has said that she regrets using that term and insisted Sunday that she has “been listening” to the concerns of activists since launching her campaign. That would require blow-out victories in upcoming states, big and small, including NY. “But I think it is important to tell people about what you’re going to do for them, and how you can get it done – how you can produce results that will make a positive difference in people’s lives”. In his remarks introducing Clinton, Israel slammed Sanders repeatedly and said, “For families on Long Island, this is one of the most critical issues and vivid contrasts that we have”.
Clinton would not budge when asked why she does not disclose transcripts or recordings of the paid speeches she has made to Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street firms and special interests, typically for $225,000 per speech. At one point in the skit, she pulled out a New York Yankees cap (which doubled as a Mets cap), pretended to eat a hot dog and raved about the “new hot Broadway show that has NYC abuzz” – No, not “Hamilton”, but “Chicago”.

“We’re not so used to regular mail”, said Dillon Smith, a UB junior and president of UB Progressives, who helped put together the Sanders rally Monday night.
