Summary: <p>Usually at this point in the presidential nominating process, the two parties have more less settled on their candidates.</p> <p>But this is the election of 2016, and the usual rules do not apply.

Hillary Clinton has received <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/elections/election-2016-campaign-money-race.html?_r=0" target="_blank">significantly larger </a>donations than Sanders, and yet it's not stopping him, it might even be <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/06/us/politics/democratic-primary-results.html" target="_blank">helping.</a> And on the Republican side, Wall Street has largely backed candidates who aren't even in the race anymore: Bush, Rubio, Christie, Walker. <a href="http://i.giphy.com/xTiTnp5afz3qkEd0uA.gif" target="_blank">Remember Walker</a>?</p> <p>This week on <em>Money Talking</em>, <a href="https://twitter.com/rob1cox" target="_blank">Rob Cox</a>, editor with <a href="http://www.breakingviews.com/" target="_blank">Reuters Breakingviews</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/morningmoneyben" target="_blank">Ben White</a>, the <a href="http://www.politico.com/tipsheets/morning-money" target="_blank">Chief Economic Correspondent</a> at Politico join host <a href="https://twitter.com/charlieherman" target="_blank">Charlie Herman</a> to go deep into the minds and pockets of Wall Street.</p>
