Clinton and Sanders take part in back-to-back MSNBC town halls

There’s little denying Bernie Sanders’ appeal with young voters – and his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton wants to get in on the action too.

Sanders will be interviewed by Meet The Press host Chuck Todd at 6 p.m.in Columbus, Ohio.

“To Bernie Sanders with thanks for your commitment to real health care access for all Americans and best wishes”, Clinton wrote on a picture of the two talking. Both states are scheduled to hold their Democratic and Republican candidate primaries on Tuesday.

Sanders has been accused by Trump of orchestrating protests at the latter’s rallies that have degenerated into clashes with the billionaire businessman’s supporters.

Sanders now faces long odds if he is to defeat Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

The Vermont senator is also stepping up attacks on Clinton over free trade deals, emerging as a dominant issue of the election amid a belief in industrial states that they are to blame for the flight of blue collar jobs overseas and lingering economic blight. “I’m trying here, guys”, she says, exasperated.

“I’ve seen what it takes to get things done”, said Carmina Day, who explained that her political advocacy dates to 1970s fight over the Equal Rights Amendment.

The Sanders camp, however, had one hell of a comeback: Sanders was not only metaphorically standing behind Clinton’s healthcare reform plan, he was literally standing with Clinton at one point.

Sanders responded by saying his campaign had found a photo of him standing next to Clinton during those fights.

Clinton now has the vast majority of superdelegates, but Sanders thinks he can sway them. Superdelegates are party officials and lawmakers who can vote at the convention and have already made their intentions clear.
