Hillary Clinton made the Republican Party’s worst nightmares come to life as she coolly destroyed Donald Trump on several occasions during the CNN Democratic town hall from Ohio.
Republican frontrunner Donald Trump threatened Sunday to send his supporters to infiltrate the campaign rallies of Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders, whom Trump continued to insist was behind disruptions at his events.
Trump was more explicit in a Sunday tweet: “Bernie Sanders is lying when he says his disruptors aren’t told to go to my events”. “He’s gonna pay the legal fees of somebody who committed a awful act of violence”. Party leaders said they want supporters of Clinton and Sanders to feel like this is their party, and regardless of the result of Ohio’s Tuesday primary, Ohio Democrats are in the political fight together. Sanders spoke on stage to rally his supporters just days away from Ohio’s presidential primary election. Top Clinton donors had expected the campaign to begin raising money for the general election beginning in April, a transition they now say has been pushed off. And I’m a better person than Hillary.
Clinton said it was “absolutely unacceptable” that so many African American men were going to jail and promised to replace the “school to prison pipeline” with a “cradle to college pipeline”.
Meanwhile Mrs Clinton accused the Republican of conducting a cynical campaign of hate and fear. “I think she’s a doer who gets things done and I’m thrilled to think of having a woman president”, said Eileen Soderstrom.
“I believe that the dumping is illegal and we have to summon up the political and the legal arguments to take it on”, Clinton said, putting specific blame on China for the practice.
Both candidates also received questions from an audience member about who would be the best candidate to go up against Trump and about specifics of their anti-Trump strategy. “And I believe that I will have an opportunity to really focus in on how risky Donald Trump presidency would be for our standing”.
Fox News reported that Trump’s rallies on Saturday in OH and Missouri were also met with protests and interruptions, with the billionaire businessman again pointing the finger at Sanders.
The Clinton campaign could portray Trump as a candidate who will put the United States in danger. However, she said she wants to work to reduce cost for everyone if elected president.

“The 20-wealthiest people in this country, 20 people, own more wealth than the bottom half of America”, Sanders told the crowd. A line stretched down the block, supporters waiting to see Hillary Clinton at Chicago Journeyman’s Plumbers Hall at 1340 W. Washington Blvd.in the West Loop, beginning at 10:45 a.m. Hundreds of Hillary supporters are chanting and hoping IL will pick her in Tuesday’s primary.
