Dear Mr. Morgan,

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump won big in yesterday’s New York Primary contests.

While watching the third Republican debate last night on CNBC, I thought to myself: Self, you’re going to have to write a straight review of this thing. The candidates are too wonky tonight to be caricatured, and even Donald Trump has reigned himself in significantly.
