Here we go! Tonight's debate is a town hall format moderated by NBC's Tom Brokaw. It's in a "theater in the round" style setting with the audience chairs encircling a bright red rug. As always, no cheering or outbursts will be permitted in the hall during the debate — though, as Brokaw pointed out, those of you watching at home are free to scream and throw things as you see fit.

Stick with us throughout for fact checks and other observations.
