Trump’s abortion gaffe puts key primary win in doubt

Just a month ago, the Republican establishment was increasingly resigned to the likelihood that Donald Trump was going to be their party’s nominee.

“I think it was probably mutually set up”, he said.

The new low point for Trump’s favorability ratings with women came after he said women who have abortions should be “punished” if abortion were to be made illegal.

His spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said Trump meant that abortion laws won’t change until he’s president.

Meanwhile, the Republican front-runner tried again to clarify his remarks on abortion just days after he suggested that women who undergo the procedure should receive “some form of punishment”.

Trump, who earlier in his life said he supported abortion rights, explained to CBS his answer on punishing women by emphasizing the question was a hypothetical scenario.

Trump has hit a rough patch in his campaign as he heads into the Wisconsin primary Tuesday.

Republican presidential candidate John Kasich says it’ll be easy to fix Social Security.

Donald Trump who also campaigned in Wisconsin said he feels he will win the state. “I’m going to have to see how I was treated”, he told Chris Wallace.

If Mr Cruz sweeps all the delegates in Wisconsin, Mr Trump will need to win 57 per cent of the remaining delegates in other states to collect the 1,237 he needs to clinch the nomination.

“I’m optimistic that the Republicans of our country will hear the message that the Trump voters are delivering but, in the end, pick a different standard-bearer”.

The episode demonstrated the extent to which Mr Trump has glossed over some of the rigorous policy preparation that is fundamental to most presidential campaigns, underscoring the risks of the billionaire businessman’s approach as he edges closer to the Republican nomination.

Bernie Sanders told a rally: “According to an analysis done by Greenpeace, Hillary Clinton’s campaign and her Super PAC have received more than 4.5 million dollars from the fossil fuel industry”.

“It’s really important for California to work for Wisconsin, Wyoming, New York, Pennsylvania because they’ll bring it home”, said Cheri Johansen, an Alameda volunteer.
