What Is The Format For CNN's Town Hall Tonight?....

Will all three candidates be on stage and ready to field questions from the audience? Will the moderator be asking the questions? Will each candidate come out separately for a period of time? If so - do we know the order of the candidates sessions? Will each candidate get the same questions? Is this a 1, 2 or 3 hour event?

I like Martin and may stay to see how he does, but I don't need to listen to more Clinton lies and right-wing attacks.

I've had enough of Hillary Clinton and her smarmy campaigning to last a lifetime.

Bernie exposure like Alabama limits voters' rights. Secondly, there must be some big sports event going on now, too DWS doesn't schedule these things without a popular distraction. Lastly, what does it matter? It'll be an HRC-friendly event. It's CNN, after all.

The Town Hall will also be live-streamed online and across mobile devices via CNNgo. CNN International and CNN en Espanol will also simulcast the Town Hall.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont will appear first, followed by ex-Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and then former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, CNN announced Monday. Each will have 30 minutes onstage at Drake University's Sheslow Auditorium and will face questions from audience members as well as CNN Anchor Chris Cuomo.

Allowing her to spew accusations all over Bernie,
not allowing him an opportunity to refute her "claims".

Then Clinton will be asked to list all the awesome things she did as SofS, Senator, First Lady, Walmart director, college student, girl scout, toddler, infant, fetus etc.

Then she will be asked if she believes that Bernie has stopped beating his wife.

Then Bernie will be asked to respond but before he speaks, time will run out and the program will be over.
