your reaction to that and what does it mean for dianne feinstein do you think? >> i think what it means by the democratic party is any time people endorse a candidate that really doesn't have a shot, it says a lot about where the party is and where it stands. california being at all democratic state but still hadn't been able to push issues like medicare for all. i don't even know if it's about people voting to say we want a really left-wing candidate, but more so against the establishment and business as usual. the senator has done great work within the party, she has also been in office for a very long time and i think people are just fed up with the status quo. so i think it really is a message about the greater issue, white people voted for bernie sanders, why people voted for president trump. >> martha: there's a real progressive move in the democratic party and mark when you look at that, dianne feinstein really represents a very moderate, longtime democrat who looks a lot more like democrats used to look perhaps. >> let's remember here that there was a ju
