Sen. Bernie Sanders is planning to lay off “hundreds” of campaign staffers across the country and focus much of his remaining effort on winning California, he said in an interview Wednesday. He added in an immediate contradiction that “the lovely thing is women don’t like her”.

“I consider myself the presumptive nominee”, the real estate mogul told a crowd at Trump Tower in NY, despite still being short of the 1,237 delegates required to win the nomination outright.
The governor was asked to respond to Mary Pat Christie being the newest member of New Jersey’s first family to grab national attention for a facial expression while standing behind Trump during a campaign event.
“If you’re a Republican running for president in California and you don’t get protested, you’re doing something really, really wrong”, Jim Brulte, chairman of the California Republican Party, said on CNN on Friday.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump greets supporters after a rally Thursday, April 28, 2016, in Costa Mesa, Calif. “Nailed it”, tweeted Mike Darling, with a picture of the pink woman card.

And some at the other end of the political spectrum expressed the view that Hillary Clinton should have her womancard revoked for her attitude towards Monica Lewinsky. Women aren’t anomalies – they’re everywhere. So does their candidate, who has been citing polls indicating he now does better than Clinton against Donald Trump. Other polls have also shown Trump ahead. Women, however, were more likely than men to say they definitely would not vote for Trump in a general election, 66 per cent to 60 per cent. About half of men and women said they would definitely not vote for Clinton.
This is a turning point for Trump. We’ve got three candidates to choose from and a lot of our republicans. But it’s overshadowed by his own idiotic comments.
Time will tell whether this hurts or helps Clinton, or Trump, or no one at all.
