Meantime, Bernie Sanders is pushing back against accusations that his supporters almost came to blows with Clinton backers last weekend in Nevada. Still, Sanders has proved a resilient democratic challenger to the former secretary of state and senator from NY. “I feared for my safety and had a lot of security around me”, she told CNN. “I’ve never had anything like this happen”.

“I’m really excited for Philadelphia”, Healy said, “and I’m excited to work really hard for whoever our Democratic nominee is”.
Mr. Sanders reiterated his position that he will remain in the race until the last vote is cast.
Clinton narrowly defeated Sanders in Kentucky, a state where she was not expected to be victorious. Sanders won OR, a state that played to his strengths.
Talev also writes, “Democrats, including some of Sanders’ Senate colleagues, piled up complaints and admonitions to allow Clinton to concentrate on a general-election fight against Trump”.
“There was a horrendous breakdown, where the leadership there in Nevada hijacked the process on the floor, created a tremendous amount of angst among people who were there attending the convention, who were supporters of Sen”.
But Weaver said on MSNBC on Wednesday that “clear structural impediments” block the rise of insurgent candidates like Sanders and prevent new voters from joining the party.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee is seizing on Sanders’ refrain that the Democratic Party is stacked against him, shutting out his supporters and rigging the rules to favor Hillary Clinton.
According to a recent Reuters/Ipsos survey, what played out in Nevada is just a glimpse into the uphill battle Clinton faces in courting them.
Clinton, who is on a firm path to clinching the nomination within weeks, faces the prospect of winning back Sanders supporters, many of whom are feeling increasingly alienated.
Although the campaign of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has yet to issue a public response, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep.
Arthur Sanders, Distinguished Professor of Politics at Drake University, agreed that Senator Sanders will eventually come to support Clinton, and so will his followers because he can declare victory even with a loss to Clinton regarding the Democratic presidential nomination.
“I’m a supporter of the full process playing out”. Chairs were thrown at the convention and state party chair Roberta Lange received voicemail and text message threats afterward. “I admire Bernie’s in many ways, and particularly his advocacy for nonviolence, the principles of one Dr. King and others … but he needs to reaffirm his own belief of that principle and to encourage his volunteers and supporters to follow the same”, she said.
On May 3rd, when Trump won the IN primary and became the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee, Warren tweeted, “There’s more enthusiasm for @realDonaldTrump among leaders of the KKK than leaders of the political party he now controls”. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., did make a comment.

“We need to take coal country, coal miners and their families with us and not leave them behind”, Clinton told supporters on Monday.
