Should we be optimistic that the president will strike a good deal with Kim?

And there are a lot more questions than answers about Michael Cohen's service as an "essential consultant" to AT&T and Novartis. Four states held primary elections this week and many women candidates fared well. The panel talks with a political scientist about the so-called "pink wave" and why it might be more of a ripple.
