Sanders: Not ‘impossible’ to topple Clinton

But some of those are commitments are from delegates who are officially unbound – and so while grateful for their support, the Trump campaign needs to look past them at the moment. “And one thing I give her credit for, she did a lot of traveling”, he said.

Clinton says bringing the country together is more urgent than ever with Obama’s presidency ending.

Chris Wallace confronted Donald Trump on Fox News Sunday this morning about his attacks on Hillary Clinton’s gender politics. Latest figures show that Sanders has 1,318 pledged delegates while Clinton leads with 1,645.

A key to Sanders’ fundraising success has been that his grassroots supporters consistently have contributed more to his campaign than Hillary Clinton’s big-dollar donors. This means that, barring some calamity between the end of the primaries and the convention, if a candidate wins a majority of pledged delegates, that’s the ballgame.

Sanders is making a stand on pledged delegates.

Aides from the primary are getting general election marching orders. “She has to do both”, said Michigan Sen.

To sum up: Trump would do the best, followed by Kasich and Cruz, with Trump and Kasich winning 23 states and Cruz 22 states.

He also cast himself as more electable against Donald Trump, arguing that superdelegates should prioritize beating the GOP frontrunner over other concerns.

“Trump’s is more serious”, she added, pointing to his high unfavorable ratings with women, who make up a larger share of the electorate than do men.

Clinton’s travel schedule reflects the dueling priorities.

Trump’s issues with women in the campaign extend well beyond Clinton. With only a few employees on the ground at this time four years ago, the RNC now has more than 200 in general election battlegrounds such as Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia and Colorado.

So far, no Clinton-backing superdelegates have flipped to Sanders, despite an aggressive lobbying campaign from his supporters that in some cases included harassing phones calls and online threats.

Hillary Clinton’s lead in delegates over rival Bernie Sanders is now nearly insurmountable as they move toward the conclusion of the Democratic presidential primary contest.

“Women voters are going to decide this elect”, Schriock said. She’s planning a spree of lucrative fundraisers in New York, Michigan, California and Texas next month and has no ads running in coming primary contests. Bill Clinton and their daughter, Chelsea Clinton, are also keeping busy fundraising schedules, and top aides including campaign manager Robby Mook and longtime aide Huma Abedin, the campaign’s vice chair, are headlining their own events. He said he would do whatever it takes to help stop Trump – except, apparently, start to wind down his campaign.

Clinton allies are already looking ahead. “The only card she has to play is the woman’s card“, he said of Clinton.

“It’s a constant push and pull” to get through the primary while also preparing for what’s next, Kildee said.

“That is admittedly, and I do not deny it for a second, a tough road to climb, but it is not an impossible road to climb and we intend to fight for every vote in front of us and every delegate remaining”, Sanders told reporters.
