The episode repeated itself when Trump attacked again, and this time Senator Elizabeth Warren, who recently endorsed Clinton, was the target.
There is a path for the billionaire real estate mogul and reality TV star to find his way to 270. And spend some time shmoozing party donors to help make up the difference financially with the other party, especially in downballot races.
Where does Trump begin his journey? “But I will vote for her if it’s the best chance of defeating Trump”.
It’s a risky strategy because white, noncollege educated voters have shrunk as a portion of the overall electorate in recent years. And she called for greater federal funding for Planned Parenthood, something Republicans have tried to cut. While this may have hurt him in the primaries, it is certainly helping him in these general election polls.
Given Trump’s dismal standing with Latino voters, his prospects look tenuous in traditional swing states like Colorado, Florida and Nevada. There are 2,382 delegates needed to win, and after the votes were counted Tuesday night, Clinton had 2,203 elected delegates and 577 appointed “super delegates”, for a total of 2,780.
Clinton, a former secretary of state, effectively clinched the Democratic Party’s nomination at primary elections this week, setting up what will be a bruising fight between the two ahead of the November 8 election.

It could be that for the next few weeks until the convention in Cleveland, Trump will behave himself, or at least refrain from giving the Democrats even more material with which they can brand him as unfit for the office he seeks. House Speaker Paul Ryan earlier this week said the comment is “the textbook definition of a racist comment”. “It is really unfair for the other people”, Trump said referring to a latest news report that an Indian American Rajiv Fernando was appointed to the important International Security Advisory board because of his alleged massive donations to the Clinton Foundation. “This position dealt with tactical nuclear weapons and had top secret clearance, and he knew nothing about it”, Trump said. Polling averages many months before the election simply aren’t reliable, and they should not be used as the main argument by Sanders to try and win over superdelegates. Trump has long vowed to compete in traditionally Democratic-leaning Midwestern states, viewing the Rust Belt as the cornerstone of his electoral map. As he took the stage, Trump boasted of the support he’s received from evangelicals Christians, including a series of endorsements from Christian leaders, including Jerry Falwell Jr., who leads Liberty University. Mitt Romney won independents by 5 points and still lost. “We have to use the money to take care of our poorest Americans so they can come out of this awful situation that they’re in”, he said.
