The Sanders email arrives on a day when the Republican presidential primary leader provocatively wrote on Twitter that Sanders “has been treated terribly by the Democrats” and should run as an Independent.

And Sanders aggressively laid out several issues on which they differ, telling the crowd, for example, that she wants to raise the minimum wage to $12.
“When I’m out here talking to you people, I’ve got to be different”, he said.
Many Sanders supporters are now coming to terms with the fact that it’s likely they’ll be casting their votes for Clinton in the fall-albeit begrudgingly.
Sanders knocked Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy for a recent package of budget cuts that included cut in funding for mental health services.
“I do not believe Donald has any path to winning a majority”, Cruz told Dana Loesch’s radio show, repeating his assertion that “nobody” will secure 1,237 delegates before the convention’s first ballot.
This isn’t to say a sizable number of Sanders’ supporters are lying to pollsters.
The most likely scenario: big hauls in Pennsylvania and Maryland, and modest gains in Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island. She was addressing more than 900 people in a Wilmington theater. Of the more than 125 who spoke with CNN, about 20% say they’ll support Trump, while another 33% say they’ll back their congressional district’s victor – good news for Trump, who is poised to win the popular vote by a heavy margin. “America is stronger when we are all supporting one another”, the ad says in part.
Without wavering from his campaign’s insistence that he has a “path to victory”, the senator from Vermont said his goal was to increase voter participation in politics.
He ticked off economic justice, political reform and racial justice.
Who knew we’d still be fighting socialism in 2016? But Clinton led by 13 points in a Monmouth University poll of the state last week.
Over the past few weeks, Trump has decried the primary system of both parties, calling it “rigged”, and accusing the votes of being in the hands of the delegates and not the public.
Rhode Island delegates in the Biggest Little State are divided proportionately on both the Democratic and Republican side, and the stakes are small on both sides, with 24 Democratic and 19 Republican delegates available, so the results won’t significantly affect either race. But politics is about adapting to changing realities, and that’s what the Sanders campaign is doing.
The biggest prize on offer, Pennsylvania will award 17 delegates to whichever Republican wins the state – that will nearly certainly be Trump.
“It could be a really interesting convention”, McConnell told Kentucky Republicans attending their state party’s convention in Lexington on Saturday. Becker said after voting in Warwick, Rhode Island.
Just as important, even with Cruz and Kasich now finally on the same page in an attempt to stop Trump, more big victories could give pause to donors to the #NeverTrump movement.
During an appearance on a town hall hosted by MSNBC on Monday night, he was asked what he could do to bring his supporters on board to support Clinton. Instead, Sanders proclaimed that his plan was to “fight…through that path. We hope to win”.
Most of the Clinton volunteers on Wednesday night were women, as the campaign was hosting a “Women-to-Women” event to spotlight Republican efforts to curb access to reproductive health care access, in particular Indiana’s House Enrolled Act 1337 – which largely bans abortions sought due to genetic abnormalities and places additional restrictions on doctors.
Sanders’s push to get more of his voters to the polls in Pennsylvania produced an awkward moment on Monday. He’s going to participate in every primary and caucus tilling the end.
“I somehow don’t think that kind of puts you in touch with what’s going on”.

He was met with a chorus of “no’s” from residents of a state where the deadline had passed a month ago. Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver told Bloomberg News in an interview that Sanders would now remain a Democrat for the rest of his life.
