What Went Down At The Univision Democratic Debate

Is Puerto Rico a state or a country? It’s a facetious question, since it’s neither, but the issue is important economically. The island is in the midst of a debt crisis, because it owes about $70 billion. To put that in perspective: that’s only 70 percent of Puerto Rico’s GDP, which is very high compared to other U.S. states but very low compared to other countries.

I think it was a legitimate misunderstanding on Sanders’s part. He thought he was being called on. After what we saw in the GOP debates, it’s funny that political Twitter is now criticizing candidates for too closely paying attention to the moderator’s instructions.
