Amy Davidson, staff writer at The New Yorker, discusses the news of the day including the fraught relationship between Paul Ryan and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's two-front battle for the White House.

@BrianLehrer@tnyCloseRead meanwhile Bernie has poisoned the well with the dem primary. He wins=revolution. He loses =it was a fraud/stolen
— Ryan J (@pokemeintheeye) May 18, 2016@tummler10@BrianLehrer@tnyCloseRead So little left to love in either major Party machine. Calcified insider operations.
— Dara Hunt (@DLHDara) May 18, 2016@BrianLehrer In all articles disparaging Bernie supporters, no mention of the voice vote dismissing the presence of Sanders supporters.
— Rob Gunther (@RobGunther) May 18, 2016@BrianLehrer the Democratic Party cannot be unified under @HillaryClinton. She and the DNC have continually vilified @SenSanders supporters.
