The Bernie Sanders campaign is planning to distribute a video that shows then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaking on Indian television about the pros and cons of outsourcing jobs. Sanders’ campaign hopes to use the video as evidence that Clinton may not be as in tune with the plight of American workers as her campaign may suggest. The Clinton campaign says that the video shows how their candidate understands the intricacies of international trade and how to maximize opportunities for American workers and businesses.

In an interesting development, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi spoke out against the influence that superdelegates have in the Democratic nominating contest. Pelosi explained, “I’m not a believer in the sway of superdelegates deciding who is going to be the nominee. I think we have a democratic process where people vote on both sides of the aisle … and that should determine who the nominee is.” Clinton so far has the lion’s share of superdelegates, attracting ire from Sanders supporters who say the race would be much closer if not for superdelegates.

Jeb Bush also appeared on SnapChat, and Ted Cruz’s flag pin during his event started turning around on its axis.

The jobs range from digital advertising reporting analyst to search engine specialist. Considering Bernie Sanders’ strong online presence, Clinton is covering her bases as far as the primary goes. Building out a robust online presence will be especially important come the general, particularly if she is up against Donald Trump.

A Koch spokesperson has told Reuters that the Koch brothers will not dig into their arsenal of cash to block a Trump nomination. In a blow to the GOP establishment, which is scrambling in the face of Trump’s successes, the Kochs seem to have realized that attacks on Trump simply don’t stick as well as on other candidates. With no plans to get involved in the primary race, we will surely see the Koch’s gears start turning once we have our nominees.
