| And with that, Donald Trump’s 24-minute address to the Faith and Freedom Conference comes to an end. | |

| Donald Trump zeroes in on general election opponent Hillary Clinton, telling the audience that “she’ll appoint radical judges who will legislate fro the bench ... and the will of the people will mean nothing.” | |
| “Her judges will abolish the second amendment and abandon the rule of law,” Trump continues, and says Clinton would push to legalize abortion access “up until the moment of birth.” | |
| “Her policies will be a crushing blow to all poor people in this country. Her education policies, her economic policies, her immigration policies, her trade policies will plunge our poor African American and Hispanic communities into turmoil and, even worse, despair.” | |
| “Hillary Clinton has jeopardized - totally jeopardized national security,” Trump says, telling the audience that the White House announced yesterday that Clinton is under criminal investigation for using a private email server “to hide her corrupt dealings.” (The White House did not make such an announcement.” | |

| “A little freedom of speech, what are you gonna do,” Trump says. “These are professional agitators. They’re sent here by the other party, believe me.” | |
| “Now, where were we?” | |

| Reading from a teleprompter, Donald Trump goes down a laundry list of evangelical pet issues, saying “we want to uphold the sanctity and dignity of life, marriage and family as the building block of happiness and success.” | |
| “So important,” he adds. | |
| “Freedom of any kind means no one should be judged by their race or their color or the color of their skin,” Trump says. “Should not be judged that way.” | |
| “We must continue to forge our partnership with Israel and work to ensure Israel’s security,” Trump says. “Hillary Clinton - or, as I call her, Crooked Hillary Clinton, she’s as crooked as they come - refuses to even say the words radical Islam. Refuses to say the words! This alone makes her unfit to be president. In fact, she wants a 500% increase in Syrian refugees to come into our country. No good. No good. No good, can’t do it. We don’t know where they come from.” | |
| Trump is then interrupted by a series of protesters who appear to be from #CodePink, chanting “Refugees are welcome here!” | |
| “Crazy what happens here,” Trump says. | |

| Hillary Clinton takes a direct rhetorical shot against Donald Trump, who she says “wants to appoint justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade; he, of course, wants to defund Planned Parenthood, and he wants to go after so many rights we have, including the right to access to safe, legal abortion.” | Hillary Clinton takes a direct rhetorical shot against Donald Trump, who she says “wants to appoint justices who would overturn Roe v.

| “He actually said women should be punished for having abortions,” Clinton says, her voice hushed. “Now, once he said that, there was an outcry - as there should have been, and he tried to walk it back - he’s been doing that a lot lately - but anyone who would so casually agree to the idea of punishing women, like it was nothing... that’s someone who does not hold women in high regard.” | “He actually said women should be punished for having abortions,” Clinton says, her voice hushed. “Now, once he said that, there was an outcry - as there should have been, and he tried to walk it back - he’s been doing that a lot lately - but anyone who would so casually agree to the idea of punishing women, like it was nothing... that’s someone who does not hold women in high regard.” |

It’s about who we are as a nation.” | “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

| However, the research, conducted by SurveyUSA for the Guardian, also shows that if Sanders were to find a way of staying in the presidential race, it could hand the White House to Trump, who would beat Clinton by three percentage points in that scenario. | However, the research, conducted by SurveyUSA for the Guardian, also shows that if Sanders were to find a way of staying in the presidential race, it could hand the White House to Trump, who would beat Clinton by three percentage points in that scenario. |
| Carried out the day after the California primary, the polling news comes amid residual pressure from some Sanders supporters for him to continue his struggle – either as an independent or perhaps by replacing Jill Stein, the Green party candidate, on that party’s ticket. | Carried out the day after the California primary, the polling news comes amid residual pressure from some Sanders supporters for him to continue his struggle – either as an independent or perhaps by replacing Jill Stein, the Green party candidate, on that party’s ticket. |
