WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Hillary Clinton sought separation against Democratic rival Bernie Sanders in Tuesday’s primary contests, seeking victories in Florida and Ohio that would lay the groundwork for the general election against the Republican nominee.

Clinton and Sanders were competing in primaries in Florida and Ohio, the nation’s two leading general election battleground states, along with Missouri, North Carolina and Illinois. Clinton entered the primaries with a lead of more than 200 pledged delegates and could end the day with about two-thirds of the delegates needed to claim the nomination.

“The numbers are adding up in my favor,” Clinton told reporters in Raleigh, North Carolina on Tuesday.

Sanders’ team says the calendar will be more favorable to the senator in the weeks ahead. After Tuesday’s contests, the campaign shifts westward, with contests in Arizona, Idaho and Utah on March 22 and Alaska, Hawaii and Washington state on March 26. April includes contests in Wisconsin, Wyoming and New York, which Clinton represented in the Senate but is becoming a major target for Sanders.

“We have a long-term game plan here,” said Sanders senior adviser Tad Devine.

1. It would be wonderful if that little girl grows up knowing that she can be what she want to be

Even POTUS.

Hillary, paving the way for future female political leaders, in every level

[Fawke Em]

33. I grew up knowing I could be who I want to be.

And I didn't have to ride my husband's coat tails to do it.

[lunamagica]

39. Good. But I think that for a little girl to grow up with a female POTUS would be fantastic

For many generations it seemed impossible, but for girls like the one in the picture having a female POTUS would be a reality, a normal thing.

Forgive me for thinking that would be a wonderfully positive image for girls. It is MO

[Fawke Em]

41. Not really. Hillary would have done it because of Bill. Not on her own. eom

[Armstead]

42. If she wants to be a waitress because those are the only jobs that'll be left for the 70 percent

[Carlo Marx]

2. Is the Washington Post officially a super pac for Hillary or do they still pretend to be journalists

[Marr]

12. Right? They've basically become the Hillary Fanzine.

lol.

[kath]

20. Seriously. it's pathetic.

[Svafa]

23. No kidding

[Skwmom]

26. Wow. You summed that up rather nicely.

[riversedge]

3. That's our gal. Fighting the good fight.

[ucrdem]

4. and that smile says we're winning

and after the last few weeks even a little bit of win would be awfully nice!

[riversedge]

5. She is always in her

realm when with people. She shines.

[libtodeath]

8. Like this?

[ucrdem]

9. And?

[libtodeath]

10. She sure is shining!

[ucrdem]

11. If this the best they've got she's doing pretty well.

Ahem . . .

America Rising is a Political Action Committee (PAC) that produces opposition research on Democratic Party members.[1] It is located in Alexandria, Virginia. It was founded in March 2013 by Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign manager, Matt Rhoades.

[libtodeath]

14. And you sourced the Washington Post.

[ucrdem]

24. I'd post an Intercept link but it's ceased to exist.

[SidDithers]

34. The right hates Hillary. The fringe left hates Hillary...

and they both love right-wing sourcing.

Sid

[libtodeath]

37. You mean like WaPo?

[SidDithers]

38. No, I mean like America Rising...

Why are you promoting a right-wing shithole like America Rising at DU?



Sid

[libtodeath]

40. Nice and lame try.

Boring.

[SidDithers]

43. Your choice, not mine...nt

17. Just like Hillary to insist on having an orderly process.

She's such a goody-two-shoes.

[ucrdem]

19. Yes, so authoritarian.

Because why can't we all just occupy the White House.

[oasis]

22. "occupy the White House".

Imagine Bernie as the Andrew Jackson of our time.

[ucrdem]

28. I will confess that I don't fully follow

but I like the image

[oasis]

31. March 4th, 1829 inauguration party. Open house mob

scene at the White House. "Free Liquor"+frontiersmen, and all that comes with it.

[ucrdem]

32. Ah. Hadn't heard about that one . . .

. . . but would like to have been there!

[Joe the Revelator]

13. This is some 'Dear Leader' level of comment.

[davsand]

6. She can "Look to" fly to the moon, but that doesn't mean it will happen.

I "look to" walk out my front door and find a dump truck full of cash, and I doubt that's gonna happen, either...




Polling data and the campaigns themselves seems to support that the races most states are in play right now. The WaPo needs to tighten up their reporting just a tad.

7. WaPo...always good for a laugh.

Have they fired the liar Capehart yet?

[Carlo Marx]

16. No, lying and writing swift boat smears against liberals in part of their contract

Capehart probably received a bonus for his "stop using this photo!!" "Journalism."

[whatchamacallit]

15. Wow that picture... Psychotic Clown Assaults Children In Park - Story at 11. n/t

[ucrdem]

18. You don't won't to go there.

Trust me on this one.

[Rex]

29. Everybody knows darn well if the shoe was on the other foot it would have been hidden.

[Rex]

30. I am surprised it was that close.

And thought this would come back at least 6-1. As you can see I thought wrong. Base attack and I would have voted to hide it no matter HRC or Bernie. Just speaking for myself.

[SidDithers]

35. +1...nt

Sid

[cabineer]

25. Isn't that a nice picture. That makes her presidential?

I like kids a lot! I've worked with them in summer soccer and baseball camps.
That doesn't make me presidential material. Its silly.

[ucrdem]

27. It's her I-just-saw-the-numbers-and-they're-good smile.

She's pumped. I just heard Bernie in Chicago and he sounded tired. Very, very tired.

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. I am looking forwards to the WAPO FAIR report in the next two days

Will make for some enraging reading about the not so biased press

[ucrdem]

44. And that my friends is why Hillary is smiling.
