PBS Democratic Debate: Live Coverage

The European migrant crisis is highly divisive along partisan lines: According to a September Pew poll, “by more than two-to-one (69 percent to 29 percent), Democrats approve of the U.S. decision to increase the number of refugees it accepts. By about the same margin (67 percent to 30 percent), Republicans disapprove.” Half of Democrats say we should go even further, while just 11 percent say we should do less.

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.
