As for choosing her a running mate, Clinton said she would consider a range of options including those who aren’t elected officials, including “successful business people”. “They need to get out of the system, because they’re the ones who have helped screw it up”, Huckabee said.

However, Trump is now his party’s presumptive nominee, while Clinton is still battling Sanders to secure the Democratic nomination.
Clinton brushed that aside on “Meet the Press” this morning, saying, “Polls this far out mean nothing”.
While Clinton holds an overwhelming lead among African-American and Hispanic voters, with 82 points gap and 35 points gap respectively, Trump is the preferred candidate among white voters by 14 points over Clinton, said the poll.
But the Smart Politics report found that, since 1976, the candidate who won more votes in the primary lost the popular vote in the general election six out of 10 times.
An exasperated Hillary Clinton said Bernie Sanders has “every right” to finish campaigning through the end of the primary.
Meanwhile, according to the same poll, Hillary Clinton no longer has a double digit lead over Donald Trump like she did just a month ago – her lead over Trump is just 3 points.
In a black-and-white video posted to the Republican candidate’s Instagram account, Trump includes images of Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton. Clinton is supported by 43 percent of women, while 32 percent of them back Trump.
In an interview to MSNBC, Clinton said she is ready to talk to Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, her Democratic rival, whenever he is ready to talk.
Messina went on to suggest that the late primary in-fighting between Clinton and Sanders is “pretty parallel” to that of Barack Obama and Clinton in 2008.

But another important reason for his large leads over the Republican nominee is Sanders’ popularity among voters. Two of them, U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, of Louisville, and Democratic National Committee member Charlotte Lundergan, have said they support Clinton.
