Another Republican donor, David Beightol, a Washington lobbyist who raised money this year for the presidential bid of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, said he was leaning towards voting for Trump because he could not support Clinton.

Kasich rarely followed rivals like Trump into the mud, aiming to stay above the fray and offer Americans optimism instead of insults and negativity.
Republicans have been talking about a possible open convention to decide the GOP’s nominee but that all changed Wednesday, when Donald Trump became the presumptive nominee after Ted Cruz and John Kasich bowed out. I’m running my own campaign. “So what I’m offering is a $30 billion plan to really revitalize coal country, to provide support for coal miners and their families, and I think that is the least the country owes these fearless people”.
Registered Democrats vote in the Kentucky Democratic primary May 17. Fresh off a defeat in New York, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders won in 53 percent to 47 percent over former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton.
It is mathematically impossible for Bernie Sanders to win enough delegates in the remaining Democratic contests to secure the nomination, but his aides see a path through a convention battle in Philadelphia that would target the party’s superdelegates.
“For the past few weeks, the corporate media has counted us out of this election”, the Sanders campaign said in a statement.
Donald Trump now seems to be shifting focus from fellow republicans to democrats.
Feelings about Clinton were split, with 49% finding her unfavorable and 48% finding her favorable.
“I think we have got to make the case that the superdelegates, who in many cases were on board [with] Hillary Clinton even before I got in the race, that they should take a hard look at which candidate is stronger against Donald Trump”, he said. Months ago, Mrs. Clinton had agreed in principle to a California debate, though she likely expected to have pushed Mr. Sanders out of the race before the forum took place. The headlines were dominated by Donald Trump’s victory and Cruz dropping out.
Endorsements from prominent GOP backers potentially could pave the way for Republican voters to back Clinton, particularly woman. The November election may be decided not by which candidate is more popular but by which one is less unpopular.
Clinton’s dominance over Trump includes every region of the state, including California’s more conservative, inland reaches. It’s all going to come out of the closets and attacking her will be a game of blood and gore. Cruz’s unusual gambit of trotting out a vice presidential pick to help him on the trail failed to gain him an traction, and businesswoman Carly Fiorina’s addition to Cruz’s potential “ticket” did little other than make it extraordinarily clear that she will not be Trump’s vice presidential nominee.
One question asked whether voters are supporting their candidate on the merits of the candidate or to avoid the alternative.
“I believe this is a Democratic-leaning state”, Brulte said at the time.
“We’re going after Hillary Clinton”.
“I don’t feel like she’s honest and upfront”, said the self-identified independent.

There were already signs Wednesday that Clinton was setting her sights on Trump.
