quote:

Democratic presidential candidates will gather in Charleston South Carolina on Sunday January 17 for the latest debate.

The fourth debate between candidates is co-hosted by NBC and YouTube, with coverage starting at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). The debate is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT).

Unlike previous debates which featured multiple rounds full of candidates, Sunday's gathering will only have three participants: former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley.

For those with access to local NBC programming, the debate will be carried live. For those who've cut the cord, you watch the debate using one of the methods outlined below:

Tune into NBC's YouTube channel at YouTube.com/NBCNews.

Use the NBC News app for Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV or Roku.

Apple TV owners can search the App Store for "NBC News."

NBC News notes the official hashtag for the debate is #DemDebate, which will allow you to follow along or contribute to social commentary.

This is probably O'Malley's last debate before he gets booted for low polling:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/01/14/nbc-invites-martin-omalley-debate-clinton-sanders/78793982/

quote:

NBC News invited all three Democratic presidential candidates to debate Sunday night in Charleston, S.C., including Martin O'Malley.

There had been some doubt whether O'Malley would be included under polling criteria announced by NBC last week, but the network included the former Maryland governor, along with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, when it made its formal announcement Thursday

"The forum will be the presidential hopefuls’ final chance to face each other directly and make their cases to a national audience before the first ballots are cast in Iowa and New Hampshire," NBC noted.

The debate comes in the wake of polls showing Clinton and Sanders nearly tied ahead of the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1 and with Sanders in the lead in New Hampshire, which hosts a primary on Feb. 9. O'Malley, who had protested his possible exclusion from the debate in South Carolina, is well back in third place in all three states and nationally.

More like O'Malley's last debate before he drops out.

Also, Hillary will win. Again.

Yep. Hence the "until". His political advisors are probably telling him differently though.

Before he enters, the moderators instruct the audience to clap for 10 seconds after each MOM response to boost his spirits. Poor little guy's had a hard time lately.

Creepy animatronics of the moderators ask him questions but halfway through its jaw breaks and shudders for the rest of the debate. MOM is none the wiser or at least is just happy someone cares

No. Both the DNC and RNC decided that there were too many debates in 2008/2012 and took steps to limit them this time.

Both are regretting it. Debates don't weaken front-runners, like the parties thought, they make it clear why they are frontrunners.

Also, having a network broadcast a 2-3 hour commercial for your party free of charge doesn't hurt.
