“Carly is brilliant and capable and, yet, she experienced the hard-scrabble world of being a woman professional in a business world that extracts a price”, Cruz said Wednesday.
Donald Trump is giving Republican power brokers a warning – he’ll beat Hillary Clinton with or without them. “I think where the discrepency is you have the Trump campaign counting unbound delegates, but by the rules, in order to be the presumptive nominee, you have to have 1237 bound delegates”, said Lindsay Walters, spokesperson for the Republican National Committee.

Agents then escorted Trump up a grassy hill and into the back entrance of the hotel, away from the protesters, Politico reported.
The diverse crowd is otherwise carrying signs and banners at the event near San Francisco International Airport. As confrontations intensified between Trump supporters and protestors, the front-runner’s motorcade was forced to make a U-turn and walk on-foot to a backdoor.

Trump also returned to questioning the Canadian-born Cruz’s eligibility to serve as president, drawing on comments the Texan’s wife made during a campaign stop Saturday when she referred to her husband as an “immigrant”. “That doesn’t even count in a deck of cards”.
