Donald Trump came up with a new insult for Hillary Clinton on Friday, calling her a “thief” and charging that she sucks up to President Obama so he will keep her out of jail over her email scandal.

Clinton’s speech Thursday likely reassured Democrats that she’s more than capable of effectively taking on Trump.
“This is not just another outlandish insulting comment from Donald Trump and it is not normal politics, this is something much, much more risky”, Clinton said.
“I loved it. I was waiting for that”, said Leslie Milke, 56, of Woodland Hills, a professor at Los Angeles Mission College, who saw Clinton. “I know that’s a possibility”. It really made me feel energized.
“If people want to win, they need a temperament like mine”, said Trump later on Thursday in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. On Friday she appeared at events in Culver City, Westminster, Santa Ana and San Bernardino.
They said her speech seemed crafted to try to draw in independents and disaffected moderate Republicans who are concerned about Mr Trump’s “bluster”.
Since then Clinton has only increased the heat.
Trump said the background of the judge, who was born in IN to Mexican immigrants, was relevant because of his campaign stance against illegal immigration and his pledge to seal the southern U.S. border.
In fact, experience is Clinton’s greatest overall strength from among those tested in the poll, and it is Trump’s single weakest attribute, Gallup found. Several Trump supporters were punched, one was pelted with eggs and others were spat at, reports said.
Former President Bill Clinton, meanwhile, is also in the area stumping on behalf of his wife’s campaign, with rallies in Burbank, Pacoima, Woodland Hills and Santa Monica.
While Bernie Sanders is vowing to fight for the Democratic nomination all the way to the convention, a Clinton campaign strategist says the Democratic primary is effectively over – and the only people who don’t realize that are a small group of Bernie Sanders die-hards.
He called her speech “pathetic” and said it “had nothing to do with foreign policy”.
It takes 2383 delegates to win the Democratic nomination for president.
On Friday, Trump escalated his attacks on a federal judge, who is Mexican American, suggesting his heritage was influencing his opinion on a lawsuit involving fraud at a failed Trump business, Trump University.
“Our campaign has been dismissed and written off more times than I can count”, Sanders said June 2 in Palo Alto, CA, according to CNN. But it would represent a call for change from the party’s grassroots in a state that gave Sanders a resounding victory over Hillary Clinton in its April 5 primary.

“We have worked too hard for too long”, she said.
