Reflecting on the Sanders Campaign – June 8, 2016

As Bernie Sanders lost the States of California and New Jersey last night, and as Hilary Clinton appears to be the nominee for the democratic party; Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton’s administration and a prominent supporter of Bernie Sanders join us for a conversation about of the Sanders campaign and the future of the movement that he has ignited.
