Leo A Perales of the The Perales Report joins the Found in Translation crew Tuesday night to discuss what went down on the first night of the Democratic debate in Detroit.

Warren and Sanders shine, but others like Wlliamson and Bullock capture the spotlight. As do GOP framing around healthcare, immigration and the economy. And let's not forget Puerto Rico -- cause everyone sure did.

The question remains -- on the heels of last week's People's Convention and in the middle of a slew of summer conferences, which candidates will stand out and move closer to capturing not just the nomination, but also the imagination of American voters?
