What Went Down At The Univision Democratic Debate

Sanders brought up Clinton’s citation of praise from Henry Kissinger. Does this help Sanders connect with voters? We’re not sure — when he used this line of attack in a debate last month, we tried and failed to find any recent polls on Kissinger’s approval rating.

Many Americans might be asking themselves: “Who are the Koch brothers?” (Clinton said the Kochs, who run an industrial empire, had praised Sanders for opposing the Export-Import Bank.) According to a 2014 poll by George Washington University, 52 percent of Americans had no idea who Charles and David Koch are. For those who did know the billionaire conservative donors, a majority had an unfavorable opinion.

The Congressional Research Service and studies by U.S. Customs and Border Protection found that the U.S.-Mexico border wall that exists today cost $16 million to $21 million per mile. In several spots, it’s also undermined — literally — by narcotraffickers. Critics including former Texas Gov. (and former Presidential candidate) Rick Perry say the price and logistics are unworkable. Other critics believe it’s un-American, with Vice President Joe Biden saying “building walls is fundamentally contrary to what made this country what it is.” But the United States is just one of 65 nations choosing to wall its borders. That’s four times as many nations as when the Berlin Wall fell.
