Sanders raises $26M in April in primary bid against Clinton

Trump played coy, Clinton pointed out, when asked to disavow David Duke and other white supremacists supporting his campaign.“We deserve leaders who will tear down barriers, not build walls between us, ” Clinton added.

He reasserted Sunday that he intends to stay in the race until its completion and said the Democratic Party can “be unified after the convention” in July where its nominee will be formally selected.

“It is hard”, Sanders said of his chances at the nomination.

I think if he was running against anybody but Hillary Clinton, who was the anointed one, who is the most well-known person that is running for office in this country and in the world. Many Republicans are skeptical that Trump has the willingness or the capacity to cover the estimated $1 billion cost of the campaign ahead.

The Sanders campaign has expressed concern that the Hillary Victory Fund is a tactic to sidestep current FEC regulations in order to solicit six-figure donations.

The Vermont senator formally joined the Democratic Party a year ago, after serving decades in Congress as a self-identified democratic socialist.

“It’s an uphill fight, I admit it”, he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation”. “Clinton is now leading Sanders by 293 delegates (without even counting the superdelegates)”.

Bernie Sanders admits he’s got a “tough road to climb” against Hillary Clinton, and things might’ve just gotten tougher. “Instead, let us remind ourselves of how far we have come together”. “On the Republican side, Trump has not built anything resembling the sort of field operation it takes to win”.

For Sen. Bernie Sanders, Indiana is an opportunity to gather momentum for the remainder of the race, after losing some steam in recent primary losses, according to Marjorie Hershey, a political science professor at Indiana University. The Romney campaign spent years developing an extensive fundraising network and collected general election cash long before his primary contest was decided.

Clinton entered April with $29 million in the bank compared with $17 million for Sanders.

The Sanders campaign, which released its fundraising numbers Sunday, raised about $25.8 million in April, down dramatically from the $46 million he raised the month before.

“Party is really powerful in the end”, she said. This months deficit means he won’t have as much cash to pour into California’s expensive media market.

“They’ve got to go into all of the blue districts, It’s winner-take-all by congressional district and we’re talking about finding Republican delegates in Maxine Waters’ district in order to send a loyal slate to the convention”. Simone Ward, political director of the campaign committee for Senate Democratic races, will run Clinton’s Florida operation.

A Sanders backer named Spencer Thayer created the “Superdelegate Hit list”, a website to share the contact information of superdelegates so they can be pressed to switch their votes. We understand her advantage is substantial.
