About a third of Sanders’ primary voters now say they would not back Clinton in November, and only 22 percent of Clinton supporters say they wouldn’t vote for Sanders.

“I’ll tell you what is extremely exciting for me, and that is that in primary after primary, caucus after caucus, we end up winning the vote of people 45 years of age and younger”, Sanders said, adding “And that is important because it tells me that ideas that we are fighting for are the ideas for the future of America and the future of the Democratic Party”.
Sanders’ criticism of Clinton’s Wall Street ties may have made a difference to Indiana Democratic voters.
In an interview with NPR that aired Thursday, the Vermont senator said he’s staying in the race “till the last vote is counted”.
Sanders won Tuesday’s IN primary and is aiming to pull off a string of victories against Clinton IN upcoming contests IN West Virginia, Kentucky and Oregon.
“Despite her loss in IN, it looks like Clinton is on target to corral the delegates she needs for the nomination”, said Patrick Murray, the director of the university’s polling institute.
The former secretary of State entered the day with 1,645 pledged delegates, to 1,318 for Sanders.
Clinton has a almost insurmountable lead in both pledged and unpledged superdelegates, the Democratic Party leaders and elected officials who can vote for the candidate of their choice at the party’s national convention in July. Sanders has 1,400. Ohio Gov. John Kasich remains, but he has no chance of winning the required number of delegates to secure him the nomination through state contests.
When asked whether he thought Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump would successfully garner support from Sanders’ supporters should the senator drop out of the race, Sanders replied, “I think a vast majority of our supporters will not be supporting Mr. Trump”.
Donald Trump called for GOP unity after his IN primary victory Tuesday night, but exit polls suggest he’s facing a significant intraparty rift.
“With each victory, Sanders’ political revolution is forging a Democratic Party that is stronger and more engaged than ever before”, he said. “I mean, he’s somebody who has said so many things, and I’m sure he’ll be scrambling and his advisers will be scrambling, but he’s already said all of these things”.
According to The New York Times, Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich, Ben Carson and Mary Fallin have all said they’d be interested in running with Trump. They will be talking about emails.
“Trump is going to be all over the Clinton Foundation and that’s going to be a nasty one”.

Pryor says that him and the Sanders camp believe that the great state of California and its almost 500 delegates is prime territory for him to catch up to Clinton.
