What Went Down At The Univision Democratic Debate

The two Democrats are just crushing Trump right now. It’s not just that this is a good line for a Democratic debate audience, but for the general election electorate as well.

Clinton was dismissive of the notion that she might be indicted for use of a private email server while secretary of state.
