a campaign spokesman says jeb bush met joining me with the washington reporter from the washington post. a democratic strategist and republican strategist rickent is disrupted by black lives matter protesters. and then it happened at a bernie sanders event, too. how big of an issue is this going to be in the campaign, do you think? >> the group is clearly try fog make its voice heard and trying to intervene. they've only put pressure on hillary clinton once. where they tracked down bernie sanders like a gang of blood hounds. it's a circus following these campaign ins the course of trying to get their message out. what we've seen more coverage of is really the spectacle of it, of the event rather than hearing their actual message. it's interesting to see the good, smart kacandidates go wit them directly. and i think bernie sanders was kind of clumsy about how he handled it the first two times like he had been hit in the head with a two by four. and, you know, they're still going to do what they're going to do in terms of disruption. but smarter candidates will try to go out and diffuse the simpluation a little bit. >> robert? >> one central c
