Sanders also admitted that he and Clinton sometimes have private conversations, and that he’s not to blame for Clinton’s “historic” “unfavorability numbers” in some polls.
She calls California an “exclamation point” on the primary season, but adds that it’s “important to get ready and organized for the fall election”.
On the Democratic side, front-runner Clinton won the biggest state of Arizona with a sizeable minority population. That’s a reversal from over a month ago, when the former first lady trailed by 3 points.
Hillary Clinton is warning that “hot rhetoric and demagoguery” can be offensive and risky. “Ted Cruz would not only lose the White House but would cost Senate seats”, said spokesman Chris Schrimpf. Bernie Sanders, in the general election. She has a 300-delegate lead over Sanders after Tuesday night’s contests. Barack Obama held over Clinton during the 2008 primaries. It’s math that’s forced Sanders to defend his path to victory amid whispers he should drop out. “Incompetent Hillary doesn’t know what she’s talking about”, the billionaire businessman said in an interview with Fox News.
“It inspired me, it inspired Heidi”, Cruz said, referencing his wife, who inspired other headlines on Thursday.

The third contender still fighting for the nomination, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, was shut out for the night. It takes 2,383 delegates to win the Democratic nomination. And that is only serving to help front-runner Donald Trump, Cruz says.
During his remarks, Cruz highlighted the importance of Wisconsin’s presidential primary vote, which will take place on April 5. They focus on his experience balancing the federal budget, his faith and a drunk-driving accident that killed his parents.
To secure the nomination before the July 18-21 Republican convention, a candidate will need 1,237 delegates.

In London, a senior British counter-terrorism police officer condemned Trump’s assertion on the “Good Morning Britain” TV show that that British Muslims are not reporting extremists in their communities to police.
