What Sanders should have said to Clinton about the auto bailout

Among GOP voters who don’t now support Trump, a large majority – 63 percent to 30 percent – say that if he lacks a majority of delegates going into the Republican National Convention in July, they want the convention to pick someone else, according to the ABC/Post poll.

Next week’s primary in Rubio’s home state of Florida, a winner-take-all contest with 99 delegates at stake, is widely seen as a must-win if he is to stay in the race. Kasich and Florida Sen.

Clinton said she’s gotten more votes than Trump in the primaries, and predicted that his “bigotry, his bullying, his bluster are not going to wear well on the American people”.

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter discontent with the Washington establishment and deep anxiety over the economy to victory in Michigan’s primary election Tuesday, exit polls showed. In Michigan, Trump’s biggest threat may be John Kasich, the governor of nearby OH who could be making his final stand over the next week leading into the Buckeye State’s primary on March 15.

Is an upset possible?

But Sanders is correct that children were being poisoned from about April 2014, when the city switched its drinking water source from the Detroit system to the Flint River, until at least October 1, when the state finally acknowledged a lead contamination problem due to inadequate treatment of the Flint River water. FiveThirtyEight, meanwhile, says Trump has a 92 percent chance of winning MI. On the other hand, Cruz has, so far, only managed to secure 22.5 percent of 91,679 votes while Rubio has 8.9 percent or 36,400 votes. Like Ohio’s Kasich, Marco Rubio must win his home state in order to remain a viable contender.

Clinton doubled down on her claims Monday with new radio and web ads. But Clinton, who won MS, padded her delegate lead and is now halfway to the number needed to clinch the nomination.

So imagine this scenario: Kasich beats Rubio in MI.

Hillary Clinton is planning a political fundraising visit to the Seattle area before this month’s Democratic caucuses. When defending himself from accusations that he voted against the auto industry bailout, he quickly stopped Clinton from interrupting him.

Sanders did vote for a 2009 motion to block the release of those funds, though the measure was defeated by 45 Democrats, including Clinton, and a handful of Republicans.

“I am very proud to be Jewish, and being Jewish is so much of what I am”, he said at the event in Flint, Michigan.

Aides to Bloomberg, the 74-year-old Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-Democrat-turned independent, have said their own polling suggested that Bloomberg had a viable path to the needed 270 electoral votes if Trump, whom had disgusted the ex-mayor with his inflammatory rhetoric, and Sanders were the nominees. If Trump holds them off, the 1,237 delegates he needs to win the nomination will become almost attainable.
