January 2016 DNC Debate: How To Stream Clinton Vs. Sanders Vs. O'Malley Online & Via Devices FREE
If you've found yourself thinking "Hey, isn't there a democratic debate this month?" recently, you're correct. It's tonight. And if you're now thinking "Hey, isn't kind of weird that the Democratic National Committee would schedule the last primary debate before Iowa on the Saturday of a three day weekend?" You're correct again. It's very weird.
This is marks the fifth time that Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley have met on the stage: three matchups officially organized by the DNC and one informal "forum" put together by cable news channel MSNBC.
Tonight's exchange will be in Charleston, South Carolina, not that far from the Emanuel Church AME, which was the site of a shocking racially-motivated mass shooting in June. NBC and YouTube will both host the event, which is set to start at 9 p.m. EDT. You can expect to hear discussion on healthcare (something Sanders and Clinton have been going back and forth on recently), Wall Street reform (a favorite issue of Sanders), shots at GOP frontrunners Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, as well former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley trying to stay in the race.
