Some things in tonight's debate on the Latino station Univision you expect. Like that they'd have a slugfest over immigration.
Bernie does have some explaining to do over his statements to Lou Dobbs in 2007 about how immigrants hurt American wages and his support of a GOP bill protecting the Minuteman in 2006.

What was not anticipated was Jorge Ramos asking two loaded questions on Benghazi. He used the GOP ploy of accusing her of lying by mentioning a video in connection with the Libya attack. I've never got why this is an issue.
Clearly it was a terrorist attack but the anti Muslim video was an immediate precipitating event.
For some reason Ramos went here and got booed roundly.

"Jorge Ramos dropped the B-word at the Univision debate Wednesday night: Benghazi. The audience responded with its own B-word: booo."
"The audience booed for eight straight seconds."
"The moment shows just how polarized this issue, along with the question of Clinton's emails, has become. Many Republicans see a vast conspiracy to cover up a horrible government response to the Benghazi attacks (a conspiracy that's not supported by the investigations so far). Democrats, by and large, feel that it's a side-issue that's been politicized to take Clinton down."
"Clinton captured the feeling among many Democrats in her answer to Ramos: "[T]his is not the first time we lost Americans in a terrorist attack. We lost 3,000 people on 9/11. We lost Americans serving in embassies in Tanzania and Kenya when my husband was president. We lost 250 Americans when Ronald Reagan was president in Beirut. At no other time were those tragedies politicized."
