Sanders has been working hard to make his call for Clinton to release transcripts of her speeches to Goldman Sachs catch on with voters and the media. The longer she resists these calls, the more voters might wonder just what she said. Last month, Politico tried to find out what Clinton said. One attendee said, “It was pretty glowing about us. It’s so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. It was like a rah-rah speech. She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.”

As Clinton and Sanders mock Trump in this Univision debate, it’s tough to overstate how much Hispanic voters hate Trump. A recent Washington Post-Univision poll found that Trump’s favorable rating among Hispanic voters was just 17 percent. He trailed Clinton among Hispanics in a hypothetical general-election matchup 73 percent to 16 percent.

The “auto bailout,” or more specifically the $80 billion in funds provided to General Motors and Chrysler by the federal government, came out of the TARP program, which also provided bailouts to major financial institutions. According to the Congressional Budget Office, a total of $80 billion was loaned to the auto industry. But all of that has since been paid back or written off by the Treasury. The real amount that the auto bailout cost the taxpayers, according to the CBO’s estimates, was $12 billion.
