Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton reacts on stage at her victory party after winning the NY state primary election, on Tuesday, April 19, 2016, in NY.
Cruz, who’s aiming to topple Trump at the Republicans’ July convention in Cleveland, implicitly emphasized the front-runner’s turbulent relationships with women Wednesday as he tapped former candidate Carly Fiorina as his would-be running mate, praising her as someone who has “over and over … shattered glass ceilings”.
“She’s a B actor and has no, you know, mojo”, Trump said.
Mr Trump called himself the “presumptive nominee” after the results were declared.
Trump said both Cruz and Kasich should drop out of the race because neither can obtain a majority of delegates ahead of a first ballot. “I applaud Senator Sanders and his millions of supporters for wanting to get unaccountable money out of our politics and giving greater emphasis to closing the gap of inequality”, Ms. Clinton said, sounding the peace bugle.

“She is pragmatic. She is tough”. Until, suddenly, she was not, seeming to betray a combination of bewilderment and dismay that instantly went viral on social media, the New York Times reported.
Hillary obviously has very strong support among women, she’s pretty big on female rights, though like gay rights and global warming, there are a couple of skeletons in her closet. “She is a little bit more mainstream than he (Sanders) is and she is electable”.
She criticized his foreign policy as “reckless, loose, dangerous” and said he is “really insulting to women”, casting doubt that Sanders supporters would migrate to him over her when he also doesn’t believe in climate change or raising the minimum wage. “But that’s exactly what Hillary Clinton is”, added Pelosi, who has not yet endorsed a candidate in the Democratic race.
The Associated Press has confirmed that at least 33 of them plan to support Trump.
