Hillary Clinton wins Guam Democratic caucuses
Both candidates have made multiple stops in West Virginia. Disillusioned with Trump as their candidate, Washington state’s GOP may turn to Clinton.
Days after Trump’s remaining Republican competitors exited the race, the former secretary of state continues to battle for her party’s nomination against the Vermont senator, who has taken several positions to her left on economic issues.
“The Republicans themselves are raising questions about their presumptive nominee, and I think that’s in large measure because they do understand how hard the job of being president is”, Clinton said. Ted Cruz out of the race.
There is one political win-win scenario, at least up until Tuesday Nov. 8: Sanders running as an independent.

That appears highly unlikely, barring some major scandal or tragedy.
Nonetheless, Clinton may have found a objective to the contests against Sanders this month that she is expected to lose: to connect with working-class white voters who may be crucial in a general-election matchup against Trump. He adds: “Her election as the first woman president would be truly historic, and the closer we get to the election, the more salient that fact may become to women voters (and many men as well)…”
That wasn’t the case in 2012, when most West Virginia voters had no clue.
In Nebraska, where voters are going to the polls in the state’s Republican primary, the overwhelmingly majority say their party is divided and a significant portion don’t see that as changing by November.
Regarding the possibility of more interviews resurfacing, Trump said, “It comes back…”
Hillary Clinton should play the “woman card”.
Sanders has vowed to fight through the final contests in June, if not the national convention in July. He has given her the nickname “Crooked Hillary” and has sharpened his attacks on her judgment, for instance on foreign policy, global trade deals and her vote for the Iraq War.
Sanders’ win in West Virginia netted him some delegates, but it was still unclear how much support the proud democratic socialist has in the state.
That gap shrinks slightly if limited to pledged delegates only, in which case Clinton would have to win 34 percent of the remaining delegates while Sanders would need 66 percent. “We have been fighting uphill from the day this campaign began, and we’re going to stay in the race until the last vote is cast”. The rest said they were unsure. Trump enters Tuesday with 1,068 delegates. But Trump, too, is on a rocky path. Clinton also holds a commanding lead among superdelegates, the elected officials and party leaders who can support the candidate of their choice. Though Democrats will still be voting in a primary on Tuesday, the results for the presidential race will have no binding effect on delegate allocation.
Numerous party’s luminaries, including veteran Sen.
Trump has been viewed unfavorably by upwards of two-thirds of women in general election polling, but has done marginally better with women in the Republican electorate.
In West Virginia, Trump has held rallies packed with enthusiastic supporters clad in everything from American flags to mining gear.
