“You people are obsessed with stupid stuff”, he said. While Trump does need to keep winning in order to stay on his narrow path to the GOP nomination, he declared himself the party’s “presumptive nominee” after Tuesday’s results rolled in. She won Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania, while Sanders won Rhode Island.

“That’s what weak men do”, said the MA senator, who despite not endorsing a Democratic presidential candidate came to bat for Clinton in an interview Thursday with The Boston Globe. “And that’s why I’m doing so well”, Trump said, stressing his success in exit polling among women in the past two weeks’ primaries. “The people in every state in this country should have the right to determine who they want as President and what the agenda of the Democratic Party should be”, Mr. Sanders responded. “The only card she has is the woman’s card”, he said to the crowd.
Interviewers on a string on morning shows asked Trump about his primary night comments that Clinton’s only political asset is “the women’s card”, and she would only get 5% of the vote if she were a man.
But according to a recent CBS poll, Trump leads in The Hoosier State with 40 percent of likely Republican voters, with Cruz five points back.
“The winning message is, you should support me because I think I can do the best job and here is what I can do and I think that’s what Hillary Clinton is presenting”, she said. “Well, if fighting women’s healthcare and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in”. Ted Cruz had 25 percent of the vote in Centre County, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich 22 percent. Now with 987 delegates in his kitty, Trump now needs just 250 delegates to win the party’s presidential nomination.
The senator plans to focus his remaining efforts on California, where some of the staffers let go from field offices in other states will be transferred.

Coming off a big win in Pennsylvania Tuesday night, Donald Trump said he’s already secured the majority of delegates there. While Sanders remains optimistic, Clinton’s victory speech included an olive branch toward Sanders and his supporters.
