What Went Down At The Univision Democratic Debate

Lifting the Cuban embargo would be quite popular among Democrats and Latinos. According to a September Marist survey, 78 percent of Democrats and 70 percent of Latinos support it.

A query about Wall Street for the candidates was framed by a quote by Sen. Elizabeth Warren about what she sees as a “revolving door” between Wall Streeters and the White House. Those ties can also be indirect, as we’ve seen during the current administration. In 2013, Lawrence Summers, the economist and former Harvard University president, withdrew from consideration to be chair of the Federal Reserve because of criticism of both his policy stances and his taking fees for speeches to financiers. Warren has been famously silent while Sanders and Clinton duke things out. She’d be a big get as an endorsement.

Obama is a divisive figure, not equally appreciated by the bases of the two Democratic candidates. As FiveThirtyEight contributor Dan Hopkins pointed out: Clinton supporters like Obama a lot more than Sanders’s voters do.
