Sanders says comments by campaign surrogate ‘inappropriate’

U.S. Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are debating late Thursday in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, just days before next week’s key party nominating contest in New York state.

Depending on the outcome of New York’s primary, the path to an uncontested convention could become even harder for Trump.

Mr Trump, the Manhattan tycoon, leads New York Republican voters 55 per cent to OH governor John Kasich’s 20 per cent. Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who was roundly condemned for denigrating what he called “New York values”, has 19 per cent, according to a recent Quinnipiac University poll.

“Mr. Trump wants to set Americans against each other”. I can’t imagine that anybody was speaking about Secretary Clinton that way. “First of all, he never mentioned Congress-he pivoted right from the straw man of a jaded, apathetic president Clinton to “[electing] corporate Democratic whores”. “I don’t believe that she is qualified, if she is, through her super PAC, taking tens of millions of dollars in special interest funds”.

And in turn, Sanders fired back with statements claiming Clinton wasn’t qualified.

Sanders was not at the Washington Square Park rally at the time that Song spoke, and arrived later to deliver his marquee speech. There she stressed her differences with Sanders on gun laws, calling gun violence a “national emergency”.

Both candidates have roots in NY.

On MSNBC this morning, Clinton surrogate Sen.

In the Republican primary, the demographics are reversed, with more than half of the GOP voters living upstate.

New York’s matzo factories and diners will take a backseat to the debate stage and talk show circuit as the entire presidential field – two Democrats and three Republicans – descends on the nation’s largest city. He also noted that the primary does not allow independents to participate or feature same-day registration.

The Siena poll also has Hillary Clinton leading Bernie Sanders by 10 percentage points among the state’s likely Democratic voters ahead of Tuesday’s primary.

“I think a mischoice of words is not as important as trying to carry out a strategy of trying to disqualify people or trying to make them seem less than”, she opined.

Clinton was heading to California on a fund raising swing for the weekend.
