In a big speech about national security today, Hillary Clinton is to “rebuke a litany of risky policies that [Donald] Trump has espoused”, her campaign said, and describe a “confidence in America” in “strong contrast to Donald Trump’s incessant trash-talking of America”.

Likely Democratic primary voters in California have given 49 percent of their support to Clinton, while Sanders has taken 47 percent.
A day earlier, Trump launched a pre-emptive strike, saying at a Sacramento rally: “She’s one of the worst secretaries of state in the history of our country”.
“Our country represents something special, not just to us, but the world, it represents freedom, hope and opportunity”, she said.
Clinton says that if Trump gets his way, the USA will be increasingly isolated and countries like Russian Federation will be “celebrating”.
“I’ll tell you what”.
Wimer’s view of Clinton seems typical of young Sanders supporters who are looking to Stein and the Green Party as an alternative.
Of course there’s the other possible outcome: Clinton could win in California. A surprise win in California could give a jolt of momentum to this belief, so it’s time for this editorial board to weigh in on the Democratic primary.
Both he and Taylor told CNN they oppose the Democratic Party’s presidential nominating system and are urging Sanders supporters to be part of a political revolution. “Voters believe that as much as they believe Hillary Clinton will police Wall Street or stop the flow of outside money into the pockets of politicians”, Malloy said in a release announcing the results. Sanders needs 838 delegates to get there.
The national survey of 2,001 voters by Morning Consult found that 57 percent of all Democrats polled want Sanders to keep running, while 33 percent want him to drop out.
She added: “This is not just divisive rhetoric, my friends”. The Clinton campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
Clinton will continue to largely ignore Sanders in California, aides said, a tactic Clinton employed in late May during a string of events in Los Angeles and the Bay Area.
Meanwhile, Clinton has seen a surge of financial sector donations since Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee.
A former USA secretary of state, Clinton attacked Trump for his policies and his character, suggesting Trump might start a nuclear war if elected to the White House simply because “someone got under his very thin skin”. She might be helped by not waiting until the last minute like the Republicans did – seeking to define Trump early in the minds of the general election audience.

Those liabilities include the aftermath of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation intervention in Libya, in which she played a dominant role and which left behind a unsafe failed state and a terror haven, as well as the Obama administration’s “reset” of relations with Russian Federation, which critics say was naïve and ineffective.
“We can not put the safety of our children and grandchildren in Donald Trump’s hands”.

“For her, it’s a show”, agrees Iliana Salazar-Dodge, a 21-year-old who plans to vote for Sanders in California primary next week and is weighing whether to switch to Stein in November. He spent Wednesday hitting Clinton for opposing an outright ban on hydraulic fracturing, a controversial drilling tactic.
