“They know that they really have kept the center of the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton, who is going to be the nominee, off balance”, Baggins said.

Amid increasingly brazen attacks on both sides, Clinton and Trump are emerging as the two rivals who will do battle in the general election.
A win in California would help Clinton heading into the convention as she looks to take on presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump in November.
During this Friday’s interview for “Face the Nation”, Donald Trump said that Mrs. Clinton’s criticism was “ridiculous” and instead of delivering a discourse presenting her approach on foreign policy, she insisted on his policy.
After more than four months long presidential primary process, Clinton has 2,313 delegates and is short of just 60 delegates to reach the magic number of 2,383.
Though Sanders, a US senator of Vermont, faces almost insurmountable odds to become the Democratic nominee, he has invested heavily in California, where a win could pressure the party to adopt some of the populist policies that have driven his campaign. Clinton is expected to cross the 2,382 threshold on Tuesday with 548 delegates up for grabs – they will share them in proportion to their vote shares. A local paper also reported that the Ñetas, a gang that originated in a Puerto Rican prison, are threatening to kill inmates that vote Sanders. “I think Obama’s hurting them”, Trump said. If enough superdelegates pledge their support to Clinton – and President Barack Obama, Sen.
“Starting next Tuesday we’re on our way to breaking the highest and hardest glass ceiling”, she said. “He doesn’t, he doesn’t really have ideas, he just engages in rants and personal feuds and outright lies, something that our country can not afford in a commander-in-chief”, Clinton said.
More than a dozen women – Hollywood actresses, members of Congress, and civil servants – joined her on stage in Culver City to offer their support. At one point she asked: “Do we want his finger anywhere near the button?”. The real estate magnate’s views on global politics are as dodgy as a business degree from his so-called Trump University. Marco Rubio, whose Trump attacks were viewed as out of keeping with his inspirational message. “Are you the greatest?” “We hope that he will join us”, Podesta said.
Sanders is making this pledge to keep his fight alive in the closing days of the California primary campaign, sending a signal to his supporters that the race isn’t finished. People hurled eggs, and according to the Los Angeles Times a dozen or more people were punched. “Pledged delegates are real”.
There has been a sharp escalation in the war of words between the two, with Trump appearing to be on the defensive, specially over the Trump University lawsuits. The students claim the program was a scam. And he argues that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel has a conflict of interest in the legal case because of the judge’s heritage and because of Trump’s border plan.
Clinton recounted Curiel’s life story – he was born in IN to immigrant parents and became a federal prosecutor who had to live in hiding because he was threatened by Mexican drug cartels. “It’s time to judge Donald Trump by his words and deeds”.
