What Went Down At The Univision Democratic Debate

Following up on the Twitter wars about the comparison by Sanders and Clinton of guest worker programs to slavery, Darren Hutchinson (@dissentingj) tweeted me to point out that the Southern Poverty Law Center report called for reforming guest worker programs, not ending them. It was also titled “Close to Slavery,” which is not quite the same as Sanders’ direct parallel comparison to slavery.

Sanders’s performance in Michigan was unquestionably an eye-opener, but as we’ve said repeatedly the thing to keep those open eyes on is the delegate count. Our friend Dave Wasserman (star of many a FiveThirtyEight live blog) was in the office today and we got a chance to talk about the race, using our really cool delegate tracker. Here’s a little video of me trying to barely keep up as Dave maths it up like crazy.

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.
