Is It Time for the Presidential Candidates to Pivot to the Center?

The Supreme Court hears immigration policy arguments and Hamilton stays on the $10 bill.

Are we seeing a new, moderate Donald Trump? Is it too late for him to go toward the center? Where are the presidential candidates after the New York primary? Democratic pollster Margie Omero says that two-thirds of New York Democrats say that the primary has been energizing, while the opposite is true for Republicans. The Supreme Court heard arguments about President Obama's plan to shield undocumented immigrants from deportation. Will the vacancy on the court produce another 4-4 decision? Harriett Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20, while a hot Broadway musical may have saved Alexander Hamilton's spot on the $10? The musician Prince, who died this week, wrote a song about Donald Trump in 1990. Really.

Todd Purdum (Politico Magazine and Vanity Fair) is our guest host. On the Left, Robert Scheer (TruthDig.com). Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right. Democratic pollster Margie Omero is our special guest.
