CLINTON
TRUMP
VS.
THE SHOWDOWN
BOTH RIVALS HAVE BIG NEGATIVES
I understand
the
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have negative ratings worse than any
previous nominees, but thats the November presidential election matchup
New Jersey gave a reluctant endorsement to in Tuesdays primary voting.
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said: Giant Meteor 2016, political analyst Matthew Hale said. I think there are probably a lot of feelings from
people that theyre sad and resigned to what their choices are now.
In projections by media organizations about one hour after polls closed at 8
p.m., Clinton picked up an insurance victory in New Jersey over Bernie Sanders, firming up her status as the presumptive Democratic nominee the first
woman to capture a major-party nomination for president.
And while Trump won the Republican contest handily he was on track to
match the most votes received in a state GOP presidential primary in at least
the last 20 years about 18 percent of Republicans voted against him, going
with candidates who had dropped out of the race.
Tuesday was the last round of state nomination contests. California and four
other states also had votes.
In a victory speech from one of his golf courses near New York City, Trump
went on the attack against Clinton, claiming she had turned the State Department into her own private hedge fund.
He also assured Republicans he understood the responsibility of carrying
the mantle, and I will never ever let you down.
Trump said he would be giving a major speech about the Clintons probably
Monday.
Clinton was much more upbeat during her own speech in Brooklyn, telling
responsibility
of carrying the
mantle, and I
will never ever
let you down.
