Double-digit wins by Democrat Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz on the Republican side had cable news pundits crowing that the Wisconsin primary could be an electoral turning point. But the state's unique political history and demographics may have played a larger role in those victories than one would think. And looming ahead are Pennsylvania and New York, the latter of which is home for both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. One thing that's certain: this race isn't over, and interest is sky-high, with large primary turnouts expected in the remaining states. "And that's good for democracy," says MOMocrat Donna Schwartz Mills. She and Karoli also talk about the passage of a $15 minimum wage in New York and California, voter suppression in Arizona, the Supreme Court ruling on one-person, one vote and the release of the Panama Papers. MOMocrats MOMochat is a weekly political podcast from the progressive point of view, produced by Engender Media Group.
