Sanders, who has served for years as an independent caucusing with Democrats, has troubled some party members as he continues to pursue the presidential nomination, despite being well behind former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in both pledged and super delegates.

SNOW: Well, but she won her primaries… After losing the Kentucky primary last week, Sanders blasted the Democratic Party as a body that now has “limited participation and limited energy”.
“Definitely the race has tightened up”, Mark Baldassare, PPIC’s president and chief executive, said in an interview.
Declining to participate in the Fox News debate – which Sanders had agreed to – is another clear sign that Clinton and her top aides are fully focused on the general election against Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.
Bernie Sanders lashed out at the H-1B visa program Tuesday while campaigning in Anaheim, Calif., the home of Disneyland.
Clinton is still fighting on two fronts as she seeks to wrap up her primary battle with Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, a US senator from Vermont.
After all, how would Clinton benefit from another debate with Sanders?
Despite Sanders’s booming popularity among younger voters, his support is actually in the minority at Harvard (contrary to multiple reports stating otherwise), or at least its senior class. However, its results do, however, leave him inches short of it with a slate of contests on June 7 in California, New Jersey, New Mexico, Montana and South Dakota sure to seal the deal.
“I’m focused on representing my district and simultaneously electing a Democratic president as the chair of the Democratic National Committee, because that is critical to making sure that we can advance the agenda that people in my district care about”. Ryan’s big Puerto Rico win Ex-DNC official: I’m “neutral” in Wasserman Schultz’s race MORE said on Tuesday that he is “absolutely not” harming the party by staying in the race.
There are still many counties that have paper ballots.
Unlike the Democrats, the Republican Party allows only its registered voters to participate in the primary.
This would also prolong the battle between Sanders and Clinton in the days leading up to the convention at a time when Clinton needs to begin reaching out to disgruntled Sanders supporters who are threatening to sit out the election (or even vote for Donald Trump). While it’s still a longshot, Sanders and Clinton are now virtually tied in California polls. Nationally, Trump has been rising in polls to pull roughly even with Clinton.

However, more than half of voters prefer Clinton on foreign policy. Though men are about evenly split between the two candidates, Sanders does much better with women, 61 percent to Trump’s 28 percent. Eleven percent are undecided or prefer someone else. Whether the rules get changed to do this in the future or not, Hillary Clinton can do it now, and she should.
