2 MSNBC Town Halls tonight. 6pm Sanders. 7pm Clinton.

If anything like last night's CNN edition I doubt we'll hear much that's new.
Too many softball questions and possibly planted supporters and detractors on both sides.

All candidates are exhausted and losing voices.
But I suppose all candidates understand the importance of this particular Tuesday so they go on.

Still, I really am starting to feel sorry for them all.
Whew!

Sanders on during drive-time where few will see it. Also, it gives Clinton camp time to write point-by-point rebuttals.

Yeah, why does Bernie always have to go first?

Per my DIRECTV programming guide, MSNBC is showing a replay of Hillary's Town Hall at 11 PM EDT, 8 PM. Then a replay of Maddow's show at midnight eastern, 9 PM Pacific. Then a replay of Bernie's Town Hall at 1 PM EDT, 10 PM PDT.

So Bernie is basically getting the worst time slot on both the original broadcast and the replay. Bernie's broadcasts will be before a lot of people get home from work in the eastern and central time zones (where the primaries tomorrow are) and after they go to bed.
