Why Wisconsin Abandoned Hillary Clinton

Nine months ago, Senator Bernie Sanders drew a crowd of 10,000 people to a rally in Madison, Wisconsin. He told voters then that to win the presidential nomination he needed, "an unprecedented grassroots movement."

Yesterday, the verdict came in, and Democrats in the Badger State are feeling the Bern — Senator Sanders won his sixth straight primary in Wisconsin on Tuesday. 

Before the polls opened for the Wisconsin primary, Sanders was 263 delegates behind Hillary Clinton — and that's not including the 469 superdelegates who have endorsed her. But he has only made it this far thanks to the 2 million donors who have given to his campaign.

On Monday night, Sanders spoke to about 5,000 people at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He waded into Wisconsin politics, touching on the election for State Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley, and taking fire at Wisconsin's voter ID laws that just went into effect. The rally ended with a round of "This Land is Your Land," sung by supporters.  

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton left Wisconsin Monday for New York — her adopted home state — while former President Bill Clinton stayed behind to campaign. Barbara Lawton, the former lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, joins The Takeaway to explain why she endorsed Sanders after campaigning for Clinton in 2008.
