Clinton facing a long primary slog that may help Trump

“She went to SC to find out why African American teenagers were being kept in prisons with adults for years”, he said of her tenure, “and they changed that and reformed the juvenile justice system and gave more young people a chance to have a good life”. “I’m about the same age as her and I did not know that there would be a woman president in my lifetime, and I think it’s going to happen”, said Christine Johnson, a Clinton supporter. Clinton maintains a slight edge over Sanders, 51-46%.

“There was a bill that mixed money for the auto rescue and money for other bailouts”.

At the same time, Clinton said Trump is encouraging violence and chaos to win over voters. “I’m having foreign leaders ask if they can endorse me to stop Donald Trump”, she said.

During her victory speech after winning Texas, Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Arkansas, and Georgia on Super Tuesday, Ms. Clinton told supporters in Miami that “this country belongs to all of us, not just those at the top”.

“Look what happened in ’08, AIG, Lehman brothers an investment bank, helped bring our economy down…”

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, continues to lead Democratic rival Bernie Sanders by 14 percentage points – 54%-40% – in the Buckeye State, the poll shows. Kasich is tied with Trump, while Sanders is trailing former Clinton by five points. Ted Cruz had a full day of stops planned across IL as he tries to best billionaire Donald Trump, who canceled a rally in Chicago on Friday citing security concerns after thousands of people showed up to protest.

At a Saturday press conference in Chicago, Sanders charged Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a long-time Clinton ally, with being “indebted to Wall Street and big money interests”. Referring to Trump saying he might pay the legal fees of a man who sucker-punched a protester, Sanders added: “Donald Trump is literally inciting violence with his supporters”.

It’s the eve of a particularly heated primary election for a number of heavily contested races, from the increasingly close presidential races in both parties to the high-profile, money-saturated slugfest for Cook County state’s attorney.

In Michigan, where Sanders came from behind to snatch a primary win earlier this month, 6 in 10 voters said worldwide trade had been bad for their state.

Clinton has larger leads in two other states holding contests on Tuesday – Florida and North Carolina.

“I’m the only candidate”, she said, “who has gotten more votes than Trump”.
