1. Trump suggests abortion ‘punishments’
The Republican frontrunner told MSNBC “there has to be some form of punishment” for women who have abortions, should the procedure become outlawed under a future conservative supreme court.
Summary
Asked for details, Trump said they would “have to be determined” and “you go back to a position like they had where they would perhaps go to illegal places”.

2. The Donald reneges
The Republican frontrunner gave up on a loyalty pledge to support the conservative party, and told his rivals to follow suit. “I don’t want people to do something against their will.”
3. Live at the Apollo
Hillary Clinton took to the stage in Harlem, where the adopted New Yorker drew contrasts with her rivals: Brooklyn’s son, Bernie Sanders, and a businessman from Queens, Trump.
Clinton invokes spirit of the city
Summary
Trump plays coy with white supremacists, he says demeaning and degrading things about women, he wants to round up millions of immigrants in a nation founded on immigration. It’s cynical, it’s wrong and it goes against everything New York and America stand for.

Summary

7. Marco Rubio returns
The Floridian made a play to keep his 171 delegates out of Trump and Cruz’s hands at the convention, though he suspended his “campaign for President of the Untied States” [sic].
… and another thing.
