“I’d like to see that significantly decrease”.

“If we fall short of what our projections are in order for us to get there then, yeah, we’ll have to figure out if there’s a different way forward”, Sanders adviser Tad Devine told NPR’s Tamara Keith.
Trump claims he doesn’t want to do that.
Cruz began the swing through IN on Thursday with a stop at a deli IN the shadow of Lucas Oil Stadium, where he chowed down a pastrami sandwich – no cheese, a self-professed indulgence of his – and mixed it up with a supporter of Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders who nonetheless found common cause. That’s “the Trump I’ve always known”, Scott said. “You can’t change somebody’s character, but you can change the way a person presents himself”. “I see him more trying to transition back to a traditional candidate”. “But he [Kasich] has no path to the nomination. The negatives will come down, the image is going to change, but “Crooked Hillary” is still going to be ‘Crooked Hillary'”. Yet he has repeatedly attacked the party’s methods of assigning each state’s delegates.
House isn’t the only party official receiving these threats.
Republicans in California, unlike Democrats, do not allow independent voters to cast ballots in their primary election. Other campaigns are already making promises; a South Dakota delegate told her hometown newspaper that Kasich aides offered to “take care” of her while she’s in Cleveland.
Harrington said that it would be a bad idea for either Cruz or John Kasich to announce their running mates before the Republican National Convention in July, seeing as both are mathematically eliminated from clinching the nomination before the convention.
If Clinton were to win four or five states Tuesday, as preference polling suggests, she will extend her pledged delegate lead to about 300. Another delegate candidate, Cruz supporter Aldridk Gessa, told CNN the Trump campaign had called to see if she would be willing to support him on a later ballot.
Clinton’s staff discusses strategies as to how she will defeat Trump and ultimately win the presidency.
Louisiana GOP Chairman Roger Villere said he wasn’t convinced by the presentation from Team Trump. He’s always been a very impressive businessperson. The best spin you can put on what Manafort said, I think, is that he’s scamming the RNC here, not Trump’s base.
The free-agent status of some RNC members, and the possibility of having the convention decided exclusively by delegates’ opinions, meant each campaign made its own pitch at the spring meeting. Their messages resembled that of the Trump team: Each said he is the person who can win in November.
The poll showed that in California, the billionaire frontrunner has a 27-point lead, and in the crucial state of in he now leads by eight points. Do we really want to?
Clinton acknowledged Trump’s tactics Friday. “To lose our majorities for a generation?” Ted Cruz in the race for GOP delegates.

Campaigning in Indianapolis Wednesday, Trump still crowed about his victory. Associated Press writers Thomas Beaumont and Steve Peoples in Hollywood, Florida, Will Weissert in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and Jonathan Lemire in Harrington, Delaware, contributed. “At some point, I’m going to be so presidential that you people will be so bored”. One analysis found that as much as 40 percent of Sanders’ vote total was coming from independents, as of a month ago.
