Hillary Clinton rallies Delaware crowd ahead of primary

Matthew Albright and Karl Baker, The News Journal 3:18 a.m. EDT April 26, 2016



.......................Her appearance was a show of force among the state's political leadership, with Gov. Jack Markell, U.S. Rep. John Carney, U.S. Sen. Tom Carper and U.S. Sen. Chris Coons appearing on stage. All four, who are influential superdelegates, have pledged to vote for Clinton.

"There is nothing that faces our country in this dangerous, difficult and divided world that will surprise her," Coons said before Clinton spoke. "This is a woman fully capable of being one of the greatest American presidents starting from her first day."

.............................

Ben Shalk, from Smyrna, Delaware, arrived at 7:45 a.m. to see Hillary Clinton in Wilmington.

Payne said she regrets the divisions that have arisen in the U.S. during recent years and believes Clinton can bring together a broad coalition of people in her administration if she becomes president. She said Clinton challenger U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is wrong for the country.

Former President Bill Clinton also was in New Castle County on Sunday, stumping for his wife in a surprise visit to the Hollywood Grill on Concord Pike in Fairfax.

..........................

Nationally, Hillary Clinton's delegate and superdelegate lead stands at 1,941 to 1,191, according to a count by the Associated Press. That puts her at 81 percent of the 2,383 delegates needed to win the nomination.

7. No, more like.....

..."I can only draw small crowds of sycophants and the Dem Establishment Elite."
It's so obvious that her support is a mile wide and an inch deep, that's it's painful to see.

4. I think Delaware is where CGI funnels their money into offshore accounts through shell

companies, isn't it? Would that be good or bad for her there? I don't know the mood of the Delaware electorate...

5. 700 LOL

More like 200 based on the pictures...

6. So did she fill up a cafe, or were there a crowd of superdelegates on stage with her?

It's all so confusing with her. With Bernie, I know what a crowd is.
