Trump not in touch with American people Hillary Clinton

Trump not in touch with American people  Hillary Clinton

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton on Monday (April 25) took aim at Republican rival Donald Trump, saying he is not “in touch” with people.

“Donald Trump says wages are too high in America and he doesn’t support raising the minimum wage, and I have said come out of those towers named for yourself and actually talk and listen to people,” she said during a campaign appearance in Wilmington, Delaware.

“Don’t just fly that big jet in and land it, go make a big speech and insult everybody you can think of,” she added.

Trump was taking heat from within the Republican party as well, as rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich announced a deal on Sunday to coordinate efforts in three upcoming state primary elections to block the real estate mogul and reality television personality from winning the party’s nomination.

Trump responded to the unusual tactic by saying it was “sad” that the two fellow Republicans had to team up to try to defeat him.

“Collusion is often illegal in many other industries and yet these two Washington insiders have had to revert to collusion in order to stay alive,” Trump said in a statement.

The Cruz and Kasich campaigns on Sunday night announced a deal to concentrate their efforts and resources in state contests where each has a better shot. Cruz will focus on beating Trump in Indiana’s May 3 primary without competition from Kasich, while Cruz will stand aside in favor of Kasich in Oregon’s May 17 primary and New Mexico’s June 7 contest.

Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas, and Kasich, Ohio’s governor, hope their efforts will weaken Trump in those states and keep him from securing the 1,237 delegates he needs to claim the nomination before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July.

The deal was announced as a handful of mid-Atlantic states prepared for primary elections on Tuesday.

In a campaign appearance in Indiana, Cruz said that if Trump is the Republican nominee, Clinton is assured victory in the Nov. 8 presidential election.

Trump faces a tough path to earn the 1,237 delegates needed to lock up the nomination before the convention.
