      Admittedly I deleted and re-uploaded this because I was worried I had posted the original thread too soon.

      A'ight, here we are. Spreadsheet time.

      When will the debate be broadcasted?

      The debate will be recorded March 15th, 8-10 PM ET. (1-3 AM UTC)

      Where will it happen?

      In the CNN studio in Washington DC. Note that they moved it from Phoenix due to the Coronavirus.

      Who will moderate it?

      Dana Bash and Jake Tapper from CNN and Ilia Calderón from Telemundo.

      Where can I watch this?

      It will most likely be livestreamed in CNN's YouTube channel. it was livestreamed on CNN's website.

      So, what's new and how will this change anything?

      This is the first and possibly the last one-on-one debate in the primary between Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden and (also due to Coronavirus concerns) It has no live audience. It will also occur before some of the largest states in the primary vote.

      So what do you think should happen? What questions should be asked? What should the candidates do and what should we talk about?

    12. "Can Biden beat Trump?"

      What the polls say about a Biden v Trump matchup
      (The polls say yeah so... yeah. Admittedly this is a repeat of 2016 and Ukraine will basically be the same thing as Clinton's emails and nothing is truly guaranteed.)

      Can Biden beat Trump? The truth is he's just as risky as Bernie
      (Neither of them is a guaranteed win. If there was a safe choice, it wasn't one of these 2.)

      Stop saying Biden is the 'most electable'. Trump will run rings around him. (No. And not because of his record or gaffes, but because he is an establishment politician and Ukraine will leave the same impression on Biden as Clinton's emails. Are you people insane? Have you forgotten 2016?)

      Fears grow over Nevada caucus malfunction (Probably as bad as Iowa. Not paywalled)

      Another caucus is coming. But Nevada will look completely different (It will be far more representative than Iowa. Also they will use a Google Form so technical issues will be limited. Paywalled)

      What we know (and don't) about the Nevada caucus 'tool' (Covers on the 'tool' that will be used to count the votes, potential backups in case of failure and a few other caucus related technicalities. Not paywalled)
