As many observers have noticed Clinton’s policy proposals and rhetoric drifting leftward in the style of the Vermont senator, SNL took the pattern to its logical conclusion.

Coming off of a surprise loss in Michigan, Clinton is looking ahead to primaries Tuesday in this Rust Belt state and others rich in delegates: Florida, Missouri, Illinois and North Carolina.
“I can see myself having a cup of coffee with Bernie Sanders”, she says. But, the rationale that Stone lays out for it in his presentation is certainly true: These incidents are enormously helpful to Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning both the Democratic nomination, and then the Presidency: she is the sole beneficiary of them.
“I think that the American people are never going to elect a president who insults Mexicans, who insults Muslims, who insults women, who insults African-Americans”, Mr. Sanders said.
“I am grateful that Congressman Sanders could join us today from Vermont”, Clinton said at the event.
“She’s kind of old news”, Apple said. “She’s not fresh, she’s not young”.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) announced its endorsement of Clinton within three days of Biden declaring he would not run.
“She was out in front”, Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri added.
“I wouldn’t say that Hillary’s the cool candidate, but for me she’s cool”, sophomore Ellie Dougherty says.
Pushing back, Clinton is stressing job creation and manufacturing at events in OH and the other states voting Tuesday.
We understand that many voters see Clinton as untrustworthy. She wants to expand financial aid to poor students and make community colleges tuition-free – but not all public four-year universities, as Sanders has proposed. Ten delegates from recent primaries remain to be allocated. So the sense is that she will be OK but Bernie Sanders, if he were to win several of these Midwestern states, would take control of the narrative whether she won more delegates tomorrow night or not.
The delegate math highlights the importance of primaries in states like OH and Florida, which allocate all of their delegates to the victor. “I always remind people, remember it was just 0.9 percent by which Obama bested Romney in 2012 in a general election”.
Democrats may be at a crossroads: Who do they support now versus who is the best candidate to win in the fall? That could be a warning about lack of enthusiasm in November.
“The Republican establishment is in its death throes”, said longtime tea party leader Mark Meckler.
Still, amid growing resistance to Trump’s insurgent campaign, a number of former GOP presidential hopefuls have re-emerged in support of his current rivals. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Thursday, said Kristy Campbell, Bush’s former campaign spokeswoman.
Some Ohio voters aren’t so sure. “For Her”, appears on the screen as the sketch comes to an end.
By backing the perceived safe choice over the candidate who actually agrees with it more, the labor movement helped to ensure that the candidate who agrees with it more will not get the nomination-during what could well be the only election campaign in our lifetime that a candidate as pro-labor as Bernie Sanders could actually win, thanks to the insane and unelectable opponent that the other side could nominate.

“With Donald Trump, I feel he is so divisive, I think she can win with name recognition alone”, he said.
