Bernie Sanders may be aiming to defeat Hillary Clinton in the June 7 California primary, but he’s increasingly directing his scorn at GOP front-runner Donald Trump, signaling to some supporters that the resilient underdog is bracing to get behind Clinton in a unified push.

Months after telling Hillary Clinton the American people were “sick and exhausted of hearing about your damn e-mails”, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said the issue may be a drag on her as a battle rages ahead of California’s Democratic presidential primary on June 7. A new survey from the Public Policy Institute of California has Clinton in a virtual tie with Bernie Sanders among Democratic primary likely voters – 46 percent support Clinton while 44 percent support Sanders.
“Likewise, the networks want to make a killing on these events and are not proving to be too generous to charitable causes, in this case, women’s health issues”, Trump continued. “That is something that the American people, Democrats and delegates are going to have to take a hard look at”, Sanders said in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” Sunday.
There’s talk of a debate between Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.
Trump reiterated his interest at a press conference Thursday, where he said he had been serious about the idea – as long as the pair could generate $10 to $15 million for charity.
“I’d love to debate Bernie”, he told a rally in Fresno, California.
“We, Sen. Sanders and I, our supporters together, have so much more in common together than we do with Donald Trump”, she said in San Jose.
With the debate off, Sanders said the American people “should be very concerned” that Trump keeps changing his mind. “If he runs against you”, Maher said, “The big word is going to be socialism”. Then he changed his, and he said no.
The Times noted that Clinton had already responded to Sanders running TV ads in the state by running ads of her own Friday in the Los Angeles, Fresno and Sacramento markets.
The Sanders campaign said in a statement shortly before Trump’s announcement that it had received offers from at least two television networks.
Dickerson asked Sanders, who trails Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton in pledged delegates as the end of primary season approaches, whether he agrees with Trump’s characterization. I don’t have to tell them that.

Sanders’ presidential campaign said in a letter Friday to the Democratic National Committee that Dannel Malloy, Connecticut’s governor, and Barney Frank, a former MA congressman, couldn’t be relied upon to perform their roles “fairly and capably while laboring under such deeply held bias”. People are hurting in this country.
