In 2008, mccain stole some of the thunder from president obamas acceptance speech by announcing sarah palin as his running mate the next day. Thank you very much. Donald trump says his view of the world puts america first. The republican frontrunner used a teleprompter and prepared script when he delivered that Foreign Policy speech. Trump vowed to shake the rust off of americas Foreign Policy. He promised to improve relations with russia and china and called for europe and asia to pay their way. He said the u. S. Role in the middle east needs a new look. America is going to be reliable again. Its going to be a great and reliable ally again. Were going coherent Foreign Policy. Donald trump said that president obamas policies have led to weakness, confusion, and disarray. We must as a nation be more unpredictable. We are totally predictable. We tell everything. Were sending troops, we tell them. Were sending something else. We have a news conference. We have to be unpredictable. And we have to be unpredictable starting now. The speech was called president ial and serious. Critics say trump contradicted himself and left out details. Others criticized him for saying america first, a movement in the 1930s used the phrase to try and stop the u. S. From fighting nazi germany. It seems no matter what you think about donald trump, if you like him, you thought the speech was great. If you didnt, youre starting to poke holes in anything he says.

I am very good in arithmetic, and i can count delegates. And we are behind today. You know what, unusual things happen in politics. Reporter even as he spoke, down from about 500 staffers to 300. Sanders Campaign Manager told cbs news, this is not a new thing. When we were operating in so many more states, we had twice the staff we have now. Theyre spending money at a rapid clip. Reporter democratic strategist Steve Mcmahon says sanders has been raised more than clinton but spending more, too. Almost 46 million in march compared to her 28. 7 million. He understands now hes not going to be the nominee. Theres mathematically no way for that to happen. This is a way for him to stay in the race, sustain the level of support and funding that he needs, and do so in a way thats financially responsible and takes him through to the end. Reporter the end is california where the campaign opened another office this week and will focus its resources. They believe a win there would send a message to the democratic establishment about the power of his progressive agenda. Its his ongoing criticism of the likely nominee that worries party leaders. I want to end this country. The secretary would say she supported fracking. You dont think those criticisms hurt her . I intend them to hurt her this is called a democracy. Why am i running for president . What should i do . Reporter clinton and the chair of the Democratic Party have both been careful not to suggest that sanders should get out of the race early. It probably wouldnt work, and its not the best way to win over his supporters. Nancy, thanks. New air strikes in syria overnight reportedly killed dozens including at least 14 in a hospital.
