This weekend sanders won three out of four democratic contests, but clinton netted more pledged delegates than he did because she beat him so badly in the one state she did win, louisiana.

Yeah, click this morning, america is remembering one of its most prominent and active first ladies. Of course, nancy reagan who died over the weekend. She died peacefully in her sleep sunday morning at the age of 94. One White House Press secretary noted the reagans never took each other for granted. They never stopped courting. Our own Barbara Walters touched on that romance in an interview with the reagans. Reporter how do you keep the romance in a marriage . I think it used to be that one of you thought it had to be, everything had to be your way. Or 50 50. And it isnt always 50 50. Reporter what is it . Sometimes its 90 10, and you have to be willing to give the 90, or he has to be willing to give the 90. But its something you want to do. Clark gable had a line once that i thought was very eloquent. That theres nothing more wonderful for a man than to approach his own doorstep knowing that someone on the other side of the door is listening for the sound of his footsteps. Towards the end, i did an interview with both of them and you could tell that he was losing it. She answered the questions. She prompted him. She was very much a force for him. She just adored him. There were other good marriages. There are other good marriages, but she would listen to his speeches with that glowing face. Anything he did was fine with her. But she also was politically helpful. She advised him, she corrected him. She was very much a force. She wasnt just an attractive woman in the white house. She had a certain style that is still reflected in the white house. Its great to see barbara back and shes going to be at gma talking a little bit more about nancy reagan. Nancy reagan had a good acting career before she met Ronald Reagan. She appeared on stage in the 1940s before she signed a sevenyear contract with mgm studios at the time, appearing in some 11 movies from 1949 to 1957. Her last one was the one that she appeared with Ronald Reagan. A lot of people minimize the impact that a first lady has on the presidency and the white house, but she certainly, maybe right there in the top three, if not number one had, a huge impact on her husband and his presidency. You see that video of her saying quietly what he should say and he repeating her words. Its really remarkable that she just loved him so much, protected him so fiercely. And you heard colin powell say earlier that he really believed she had one of the smartest minds. Had quite an impact. Well be right back.
