Then, the guys talk with the CNN Anchor and Chief Washington Correspondent about the future of journalism, the elitism of the Democratic Party, and how Hillary Clinton hurt her chances at the presidency with a decision made 15 years ago. Whether you think it’s the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning, join us as we face the future and figure out what to do next.Jake Tapper hosts The Lead every day on CNN at 4pm EST.
