Does anyone know how the format of Rachel's forum tonight is going to work?

The DNC wouldn't allow more debates but did give permission for these forums. Does that mean Rachel interviews each of them individually one at a time or can all three of them be on stage and answer questions and just not address each other?

… even though there will be no face-to-face interaction between each of the three candidates. Will they be "sequestered" in the green room (or their dressing rooms) and unable to hear the previous interviews?

Or, will the first candidate be at a disadvantage since they won't be able to respond to accusations made by candidates who speak later.

Similarly, will the third candidate be at a distinct advantage because he or she WILL be able to respond to things that the previous candidates have said.

Do we know in what order they will speak?

She let Hillary get away with some serious lying on DOMA.

Having them all on stage was the only way Rachel might be forced to play fair.
