last night. nbc news senior political editor mark murray is joining us now to talk more about this. mark, unifying the democratic party won't be an easy feat. >> it is not easy and essential for democrats. our own polling is showing the race actually becomes a very close hillary clinton/donald trump contest to a much bigger one if bernie sanders supporters or a good chunk of them start supporting hillary clinton, which they are not doing right now. so yes, we saw her laying the groundwork for that. aaron, it is important to note that time does heal a whole lot of wounds. the 2008 contest between hillary clinton and barack obama was more heated and more contentious. hillary clinton was demanding to go on after obama clenched and yet they were able to patch things up because time does help. >> we'll talk about senator sanders to meet with the president this week. what is next for him in this whole process? >> aaron, i really don't know the answer to that question, but we do know the reality. he won't be the democratic

taking his army of supporters into a contested convention. but there's a middle ground, does he potentially get a fun speaking spot at the democratic convention? does the platform reflect a lot of things and ideas his supporters want? he has to stay face to his supporters, but that's the bout of the reality that he won't be the nominee. >> mark murray, thank you for that. >> thank you, aaron. donald trump promises a fight in the month ahead as well. like hillary clinton, he used his victory speech in new york to launch new attacks ahead of the general election. >> we can't solve our problem by counting on the politicians who created our problems. the clintons have turned the politics of personal enrichment into an artform for themselves. >> trump is also maintaining his stance this morning about the judge overseeing a lawsuit against trump university. in a statement yesterday trump
