PBS Democratic Debate: Live Coverage

Debate No. 6 is more than 90 minutes in and abortion has barely come up. Rubio complained in the last debate that the Democratic candidates have not been asked about their stances on abortion once in their past five debates, and even Sanders’s digital director Mike Casca is getting impatient.

We can’t find any recent favorability ratings for Henry Kissinger — yes, we looked — but it’s interesting that Bernie Sanders has brought the debate back to the 1970s, when that’s generally something he has avoided. Usually, it’s Clinton whose answers are steeped in historical references while Sanders is more focused on the here-and-now — perhaps a small part of the reason why younger Democrats prefer Sanders while older ones prefer Clinton.
