Trump responded how Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s challenger for the Democratic nomination, “said a lot worse than that” when he recently questioned her qualifications to be president.

If Sanders overtakes Clinton in the pledged count, he would still need to win support from at least half of the 714 superdelegates who get a vote at the national convention to reach 2,383.
Hillary Clinton urges people to “stand together against the other side’s hateful words”.
Clinton’s campaign also said it brought in more than $9.5 million for the Democratic National Committee and state Democratic parties in April through a joint fund-raising arrangement. The difference is I’ll make great deals out of it, he doesn’t know what to do. “I get all of that”, Clinton said.
Unfortunately for Sanders, superdelegates exist precisely for the objective of tempering popular will. The superdelegate system, which gives disproportionate influence to party officials and elected members of the party like members of Congress, is deliberately created to ensure party interests are balanced with the sentiments of rank and file who vote during the nominating contests.
The change of subject reflects Trump’s conviction that the race for the Republican presidential nomination is essentially “over”, with GOP rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich unable to catch up to Trump’s delegate haul – but Trump himself is short of the 1,237 delegates required to clinch the nomination. “At the end of the day, he’s not going to want to be the skunk at the garden party”.
Supporters cheer on Bernie Sanders in IN on Friday. Ms Clinton was the Secretary of State in the first term of the Obama Administration. “I don’t think you are qualified if you’ve supported virtually every disastrous trade agreement, which has cost us millions of decent-paying jobs”.
The Vermont senator was holding a news conference later Sunday to discuss his campaign and his plans to compete vigorously against Clinton in upcoming primaries in the spring, culminating in California’s June 7 primary and the final contest in the District of Columbia later that month. “But I don’t think it is enough to diagnose the problem”. The Sanders campaign did not release that number.
Trump’s early campaign efforts – fueled in the primary season by the sheer force of his personality and free media coverage – have defied all who predicted they would fall short of what’s required to win the nomination.
The conventional political wisdom seems to be that Hillary Rodham Clinton will defeat Donald J. Trump soundly in the 2016 presidential race if both are the eventual nominees and no serious third party candidate runs as well. That is good. If they estimate you just right, then they will attack with sufficient resources to win.
Trump has returned fire, tagging Clinton “Crooked Hillary” and charging that the only reason people support her to be president is because she is a woman. Most of Clinton’s stump speech is now aimed at the boisterous businessman and not at Sanders, who she has taken to largely ignoring.
