Tonight, PBS will broadcast this debate season’s very first commercial free presidential primary debate.  No allowance for bathroom breaks this time.  The debate will feature Clinton and Sanders, and is set to begin at 8pm local time, which is 9pm ET.

There's no Dem debates in the next 25 days n by then you will have more than a dozen states voting, maybe the election would be over.

Very important. Sanders coming off a huge win & Clinton will bombard him with attacks!!!

Should be clutch. 1 of the hosts donated to the Clinton campaign btw few years back.

Correct, this is the last debate before Nevada, South Carolina, Super Tuesday, and IIRC Louisiana.  The stakes are enormous for both campaigns in this debate as a result.  The next debate will be in Flint, MI on Sunday, March 6.

And another on Mar 9th, in a way back to back with 1-2 states in between, none of whom are huge.

If Hillary sweeps the next 2 states & most of Super Tuesday, etc, it may well be almost over. Doubt the next debate will matter big.

And this could give Bernie some momentum into Nevada

Likely won't matter much.  Hillary slaughtered Bernie in the last debate and got nothing for it.

Bernie needs this to keep his momentum going into increasingly difficult contests.
Hillary needs this to stem the tide of Bernie's momentum not only in terms of polls, but fundraising.

Loved Sanders answer on Death Penalty & North Korea. And 1 hour odd on Wall Street & discussion on Hillary's integrity means there is some problem.

I do think Hillary was very aggressive, overall above average & Bernie did underperform on Foreign Policy.

If in a debate where Bernie would get slaughtered the audience loudly boos Hillary, then I would rather take that debate

That's because she didn't "slaughter" him.

Just saw a 100% positive advertisement for a PBS Black Panthers documentary that makes them look like revolutionary heroes.
This debate is gonna hurt for Bernie.

To say it lightly.

Also, apparently this has debate will have no commercials? Does that mean Clinton/Sanders are just going to talk for 2 hours straight?

Bernie got the memo, black people want to hear about prison reform.
Hillary looks like she's wearing a Mao suit made of solid gold.

Hillary going full identity politics.
She's also borrowing Kasich's "people in the shadows" line.  Wait until she starts calling herself the "princess of light"

This seems like it's going to be a nice and solid policy-dominated debate, hopefully it doesn't turn nasty.

Just looked up, and IMO Hillary's suit is quite garish. If there's one thing I miss about iSneed, it's that she had very good taste in clothing.
