Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will debate this evening in a near-empty studio in Washington, DC.
The debate–sponsored by CNN, Univision, and the CHC Bold PAC–was scheduled to be held in Arizona but moved to D.C. for precautionary reasons due to the coronavirus outbreak.
CNN’s Dana Bash and Jake Tapper will moderate the debate with Univision’s Ilia Calderón.

8:11 PM: Sanders says Trump only exacerbates the health crisis (disfunction) that is obvious to anyone right now. Sanders says the experts are saying that one of the reasons we are unprepared is because “we don’t have a system” and instead the country has thousands of private insurance plans.
8:09 PM: Biden, when asked about a national quarantine, says he would call a meeting in the Situation Room of all the experts and ask them what the country has to do. Biden says there is a single-payer system in Italy and “it doesn’t work there.” But Biden says the government should ensure that nobody should have to pay for treatment. Biden says instead of doing this in the United States, he would bring together the leading experts in the world like the Obama administration did with the Ebola crisis. He says governors are making “sound decisions” in the absence of such leadership.
8:08 PM: Sanders says we aren’t prepared for this pandemic. People can’t afford prescriptions because “we have a bunch of crooks” running Big Pharma who are “ripping us off.” He says rural hospitals are shutting down and people are not insured. He says Pharma execs are salivating about profits right now and wants to ensure people that “drug companies won’t rip us off.”

Checking in
Out of curiosity to see if Biden was wandering around, I turned it on for about a minute. That was long enough.
Same old, same old.
It’s all Trump’s fault.
I switched to the Hallmark mystery movie.
I’m hoping someone reports what is said. Tried watching but it started out with a bash Trump session and I just can’t take that anymore.
yep
The so-called debate is exactly what I figured. Both of them are just bashing our wonderful President Trump and saying they would have saved us from the wuhanweapon. By having WHO in charge and CommieCare. And unicorns pooting
rainbows will light up the skies.
No questions asked to biden about his corruption in Ukraine . No questions asked to sanders about being an avowed commie. What a waste of air time. Both want to pay everyone for anything lost because of this virus...anything anything everything . No questions asked about how this is absolute lunacy. I’m outta here!!!
Illegal alien pandering. Yawn.
Laf, debate question was how do you old folks protect yourself from wuhanweapon.
She said it differently.
Double yawn.
Is Bernie getting a dacha on some Venezuelan Lake?
Both Sanders and Biden are getting after each other now.
I find it very entertaining.
Best part so far: Biden says “knock on wood” and taps his own forehead.
I was going to watch it.
After all these are the 2 best candidates the Dems could come up with.
But after searching for a live link for a few minutes and refusing to click on the CNN or MSNBC one, I came to my senses, and said, “This is what you are doing with your life?”.
I’ll catch the comedic highlights on youtube later.
This is cringworthy.
Like watching that Munsters movie that had no laugh track.
Why the wife from “Modern Family” one of the moderators?
Cause she’s hot!
So this is the Corona Virus debate and nothing else that concerns America will be discusses. I just want to know at what point Biden starts babbling
Is this a thkng? I missed it. Was doing laundry.
