Indiana Primary: Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders Fight For Their Political Lives

Sanders also has a strong lead with younger voters, with 54 percent of those aged 18-45 choosing him over Clinton’s 34 percent, with 18 percent undecided. “With so much at stake, Donald Trump is simply too big of a risk.” he said.

Bernie Sanders scored another victory in Indiana Tuesday night, and said his campaign is not over.

Trump late Monday said he could transform Sanders’s backers into his own should the Democratic presidential candidate suspend his campaign. I’m going to stand up for what I think the American people need and want in the next president,”she said. I’ve got some bad news for her. I know all the pundits thought we were supposed to lose but that apparently is not what all the people of IN concluded”.

While he trails badly in the delegate race, Sanders has suggested that superdelegates party elders not bound to any candidate at the Democratic convention should switch their allegiance to back him. According to the survey, only 30 percent of registered voters polled said they find the OH governor unfavorable – that’s a 27-point different between him and the presumptive GOP nominee. Trump won a majority of the fifty seven delegates in the Hoosier state… with nine states left in the Republican primary season… and now without a serious contender in the mix… “I think we’re going to have a lot of crossover”.

She was asked during the MSNBC interview about an encounter she’d had the day before with Bo Copley, a former coal employee who lost his job, who pressed her on the coal comment and the impact the coal industry had on his family. At the same time, Trump’s numbers don’t count much for Clinton either. Will you suck it up and toe the line (even though Trump has never cared a whit about being a Republican), or do you look for a candidate outside the confines of the Grand Old Party who more closely resembles what you want in a president?

In a more subdued speech than usual at his Trump Tower, the likely GOP nominee did begin to pivot toward the general election and his probable Democratic rival. “They’re wrong”, Sanders said in a statement after his in victory.

“That is important because it tells me that the ideas we are fighting for are the ideas that are the future of America and the future of the Democratic party”.

“The difference? I’ll make great deals out of it. He doesn’t know what to do”, Trump said.

Responding to a question on use of military force, she said she supports using this only as a last resort.

To win the nomination, Sanders would have to flip hundreds of superdelegates, far more than the several dozens that changed from Clinton to support then Illinois Sen.

Even after Kasich signaled last week he wouldn’t compete in IN as part of a quasi-alliance with Cruz’s campaign, the Texas senator couldn’t catch Trump in polls.

After trailing behind Clinton when votes first started to be announced in Indiana, Sanders was speaking to a rally in neighbouring Kentucky at the moment he first took the lead.
