Episode #131: A Winner But Not Yet Champion

Hillary Clinton may have gone over the top in her bid to become the Democratic nominee for president, but Bernie Sanders has not thrown in the towel and continues to say there are issues that must be addressed before he can talk about party unity.  One of his issues is the outsized influence of the superdelegates, most of whom have endorsed Clinton.  One super from New Hampshire, Martha Fuller Clark, broke with the pack to endorse Sanders last week, and she’s on the show to explain why. Harder to explain is why Donald Trump would go into New Mexico and belittle the Latina Republican governor there, Susana Martinez.  Steve Terrell, a reporter with the Santa Fe New Mexican, tries to make sense of it all. Also here to offer some clarity are Susan MacManus of the University of Florida at Tampa, who discusses the ongoing (but probably faulty) rumors that Marco Rubio will change his mind and decide to seek re-election to the Senate, and Matt Buxton of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, who talks about the possibility of Alaska getting a second senator by the name of Dan Sullivan. And we go back to the week of June 2008, when Hillary Clinton gave up her fight for the nomination and endorsed her rival, Barack Obama.
