“We believe that Hillary Clinton’s time is best spent campaigning and meeting directly with voters across California and preparing for a general election campaign that will ensure the White House remains in Democratic hands”, she said.

“What kind of a man does that?”
A Trump spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The new assault comes as Democrats try to hone their most powerful lines of attacks against Trump.
Many correctly predicted that Hillary Clinton would win the Democratic Party’s nomination (she’s 85 delegates away), though the level of divisions between the Clinton and Sanders camps wasn’t projected to get this intense or fractured. Kentucky’s secretary of state, Alison Grimes, said in a statement that the state will recanvas the results at all 120 county boards of election.
Ms Clinton’s team said in an email that while Mr Trump was “rooting” for the crisis, nine million Americans ended up losing their jobs and five million lost their homes. But if a recanvass were to determine he actually received more votes than Clinton in the sixth congressional district, Sanders could earn the last remaining delegate that Clinton would otherwise receive.
In California, Clinton hopes to make a statement in a contest that will effectively end the primaries and encourage the party to coalesce around her candidacy.
‘Ask yourself, how can anybody lose money running a casino, really?’ the likely Democratic nominee told thousands at the Service Employees International Union international convention in Detroit on Monday.
The Democratic National Committee and state parties followed Clinton’s lead, and piled on.
Well, look no further, folks, because thanks to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, we’re living the dream.
Sanders supporters were then outraged that the Clinton camp had challenged 64 delegates for not registering before the deadline or not providing required information, but they haven’t disputed the state party’s claim that only eight of the 64 contested delegates showed up at the convention and six of them were eventually seated.
Supporters of Bernie Sanders hold signs outside a rally after Sanders spoke at Santa Monica high school.
But despite the math, some Democrats are concerned that Sanders’ tactics could make it more hard to unite in the summer.
He does not make as many references to Clinton in his stump speech as he did weeks ago.

When the Vancouver, Canada-based Lundin Group gave its $100 million commitment to the “Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative”, the company had always been cutting deals with warlords, Marxist rebels, military strongmen and dictatorships in the war-torn African countries of Congo, Sudan and Ethiopia. She has been relentlessly attacked on the left by Bernie Sanders, who portrays her as a shill for Wall Street and other corporate interests. “I don’t judge these things in good and bad, it’s a necessary thing unfortunately”. Associated Press writer Jill Colvin contributed from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
