What's the best online/streaming debate link? I have no TV source right now.

And I have limited bandwidth... Dish in the middle of nowhere.

So far so good. CNN only paused once for a few seconds. Generally Dish can't handle this much data truthisfreedom Oct 2016 #14

Watch it on your phone if you have a better plan. Hook the phone up/cast signal to the TV.

You can also find it on RADIO, if you run out of bandwidth. I listened to one of the primary contests that way.

If you go for the radio option, HRC has on her white convention suit-she looks peppy and cool. T-Rump looks bloated and tired. That's how they looked as they arrived.
