[garyallen59]

Here's more information about the forum from C-Span which lists all the ways to watch or listen to the forum: http://static.c-span.org/files/pres...rs_with_New_Hampshire_Union_Leader-073115.pdf

 

[Uriah]

Trump, Gilmore, and Huckabee will not be there.

There should be a stream from C-SPAN 1.
C-SPAN 1 is the channel that normally shows the House/Congress.

C-SPAN will probably add a live link to it's front page, later on.
Here: http://www.c-span.org/#capital-header
(Sometimes they tell you to "sign in" to watch something live, but I have found that if I just use the link from the front page, I don't have to sign in)

Notice that it now says it begins at 6:30 EDT, not 7.
It wil be rebroadcast tonight at 9:30 and again at 11:30 EDT

I think the new air time is just to include the pre-forum coverage

Rand needs to go after Bush and not let go. He may earn some street cred by doing so.

Don't think he will get much of a chance at this thing. It sounds like it's only going to be very short (like 7 minute) speech by each candidate. This C-span thing isn't going to be much of a debate from what I've read/understand. Will probably be more policy focused with no real opportunity to contrast/ go after the other candidates here. Maybe he will find a way to throw in a few punches here and there

Also, just reposting this incase some missed my last post, none of the Senators, with the exception of Graham, will be there in person. The Planned Parenthood vote is taking place just before the forum so Rand, Rubio, and Cruz will be joining it remotely

It's not a debate. It's each candidate giving a speech for 7 minutes to an audience. That's all.

 

[satchelmcqueen]

Ohhhh..well, in some ways that's better; Rand will have 7 uninterrupted minutes to talk.

The candidates will appear on stage one at a time Monday night, answering several questions each from local radio host Jack Heath. The questions are based on submissions from newspaper readers in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina. Immigration and the economy emerged as the most popular topics in the reader submitted questions, said Trent Spiner, executive editor of the New Hampshire Union Leader.
As the candidates take turns on stage, their rivals will sit side-by-side in the audience. The format is different than the various forums the candidates have attended this year, when they give individual speeches and leave to speak to the press or greet voters instead of watching each other.
Spiner said the speaking order will be determined randomly.

After the initial round of questions, all the candidates will return to the stage for several more specific questions, giving them a chance to distinguish themselves from the rest of the field, Spiner said.
A camera will be fixed on the line of candidates in the front row, offering viewers a chance to see how they are reacting to their opponents' messages.
"This is two hours where everyone will be in the same room," Spiner said. He added, "This forum is important because it lets voters decide who the candidates should be. We don't use any gimmicks or national polls."
