6/15-BERNIE SANDERS DELEGATE MARTHA MEDRANO STAYS ONLY ONE LESSON AHEAD OF US STUDENTS AS SHE LEARNS ABOUT DELEGATES BY BEING ONE FOR THE FIRST TIME!

What is a “delegate”?  Oh, sure, we know delegates go to conventions to determine by their votes who the partys’ candidates will be but what is life like for a delegate, particularly in an election year as contested and convoluted as this one.  How do you get to be a delegate?  Are they paid?  What kind of pressure are they under from lobbyists to vote for candidates the lobbyists prefer?  Are they ever bribed?  Threatened?  MARTHA MEDRANO is a Bernie Sanders delegate from California who won out over thirty other women and she visits with Sara and Barry this evening.
