LANSING, Mich. (AP) – Donald Trump’s easy victories in the Michigan, Mississippi and Hawaii contests have left his rivals with shrinking opportunities to slow his momentum.
There’s also little indication that a flurry of intense efforts to undermine his credibility are pushing voters away from the brash billionaire.
Democrat Bernie Sanders surprised front-runner Hillary Clinton in Michigan, a victory that breathed new life into his White House bid and forecast a long Democratic contest. But Clinton, who won Mississippi, padded her delegate lead and is now halfway to the number needed to clinch the nomination.
Clinton glossed over her contest with Sanders as she addressed supporters, choosing instead to focus her attention on Republicans and the general election.
