Rachel Maddow To Moderate Live Democratic Presidential Forum On MSNBC
The forum will feature separate conversations with each candidate, rather than a group debate.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow will moderate a Democratic presidential forum in South Carolina next week, the network said Thursday.

The “First in the South Democratic Candidates Forum" will be hosted by the South Carolina Democratic Party at Winthrop University on Friday, Nov. 6, an MSNBC release said.

The event will feature the three leading Democratic candidates -- former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley. (The South Carolina Democratic Party determined the debate's participants, which do not include candidate Lawrence Lessig.) According to the release, Maddow will talk with the candidates about a number of issues, including the economy, policing and the state of the Democratic party in the South.

The forum is not an official presidential debate, and will feature separate conversations with each of the candidates, rather than a moderated group discussion.

The announcement of the forum comes after Maddow nabbed the first interview with Clinton following the former secretary of state's 11-hour hearing before the House Select Committee on Benghazi last week.

The forum will air on MSNBC at 8 p.m. ET on Nov. 6.

I can hear the Republicans saying, "Hey, this is the way that our debates should be!" notwithstanding the fact that this is not a debate.

Ha ha! Somehow I don't think they'd be satisfied with this format, though. Those butthurt crybabies won't be happy unless they get to pick (or at least approve) all the questions themselves, in advance!

"Mr. Trump, how do you come up with so many great ideas?"

"Mr. Cruz, Isn't it unlikely that anyone else can really be smarter than you?"

"So, Jeb, have you found any other cool things to do, yet?"

"Senator Rubio, how can you stand to breathe the same air as your democrat colleagues, who obviously hate America and the troops?"

"Mr Carson, tell us more about the history of the Middle East".

"Or, Mr. Carson, maybe you have some great West Point stories you might like to share."

Also, think how long it would take to let the entire clown car talk.

Me watching Rachel Maddow: Hey, I didn’t know that! That’s very informative and interesting.
Me watching other news shows: Are they just making this crap up as they go along?

PS: love your Democat icon.

Agreed, on the news.

Thanks, on the icon. I made it myself (not the actual image, but I turned the image into an icon), and I'm kind of fond of it. :)

There aren't enough reaction gifs in the world to express my joy at this.

It was really good, I thought.
