GOP leaders roll out 100-day strategy to derail Trump
By Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin NEW YORK TIMES MARCH 19, 2016
Republican leaders adamantly opposed to Donald Trump’s candidacy are preparing a 100-day campaign to deny him the presidential nomination, starting with an aggressive battle in Wisconsin’s April 5 primary and extending into the summer, with a delegate-by-delegate lobbying effort that would cast Trump as a calamitous choice for the general election.
Recognizing that Trump has seized a formidable advantage, they say that an effort to block him would rely on an array of desperation measures, the political equivalent of guerrilla war.
But should that effort falter, leading conservatives are prepared to field an independent candidate in the general election...

Sanders struggles to get back on trackThe Vermont senator's Western push was supposed to start with a win in Arizona next week. But he's still fighting the hangover from Tuesday's defeats.

Bernie Sanders' Western push was supposed to start with a win next week in Arizona, a state where he's devoted serious advertising resources and drawn big crowds to his events.
But the shellacking he suffered Tuesday has cast a long shadow over his Arizona prospects, leading many Arizona Democrats to question whether the Vermont senator can get out from under it in time for his March 22 contest with Hillary Clinton.

Hispanic lawmaker rips Jane Sanders over Joe Arpaio meeting
Hispanic lawmaker rips Jane Sanders over Joe Arpaio meetingBy Harper Neidig
Bernie Sanders's wife, Jane Sanders, is facing heat for an impromptu meeting she had with Joe Arpaio, the controversial sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz.
Jane Sanders was touring the outside of Arpaio's "tent city" jail in Phoenix with immigration activists when the sheriff came and spoke with her briefly.
Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), an outspoken advocate of immigrant rights and a supporter of Hillary Clinton, slammed Sanders for the meeting, saying she was not forceful enough with Arpaio.
"When Jane Sanders visited Joe Arpaio's inhumane detention center, the Sanders campaign had a chance to tell Arpaio to his face that he was wrong and that he needed to resign — as many of us have said for years. Instead, they heard him out, thanked him for his 'hospitality' and, contrary to their claims, made their criticisms through a press release and a series of tweets," Gutiérrez told Bloomberg.

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton picked up another primary victory last night after Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders declined to fight her paper-thin margin of victory in Missouri.
The former secretary of state ended Tuesday’s battle with a narrow lead of 1,531 votes. Under state law, Sanders had the right to seek a recount since the margin was less than one-half of 1 percent. Sanders, however, declined to keep the fight going.
