Hillary's fury at being asked during Democratic debate if she will drop out if she is indicted over emails: 'I am not even going to answer that'
Hillary Clinton refused to entertain a question tonight about her email scandal and whether she would drop out of the race if she's indicted.
'Oh for goodness - that is not going to happen. I am not going to even answer that question,' she angrily told Univision's Jorge Ramos during tonight's Democratic debate.
Ramos had to ask her the question twice before she finally acknowledged it, and when she finally did, she was visibly annoyed. Bernie Sanders likewise avoided taking a stance on whether the controversy was a blimp on the radar or a worthy issue and instead changed the subject to climate change and wealth inequality.
The candidates were facing off in their second debate of the week, this time in Miami, Florida, ahead of Tuesday's primary in the state. They also debated on Sunday in Michigan - a state that Sanders went on to win in yesterday's election, injecting new energy into his long-shot campaign.
Debating in state where a quarter of the population in Latino, illegal immigration was a top issue this evening, and both candidates promised to continue President Barack Obama's policy of not deporting children. Sanders took it a step further than either Obama or Clinton - who said she would prioritize criminals but didn't commit to ending all deportations - and promised not to send anyone with a clean record out of the country.
Also, in an intensely personal moment Clinton admitted that she struggles to connect with voters in the same way as Obama and her husband, a former two-term president.
