Some of you upon read of the title will think, “Haven’t U.S. Presidential debates been live-streamed before?” Amazingly, no, they haven’t. This time around will be the first time. Concerning the previous presidential debates, yes there was archived online video for download, but it was never live-streamed. How and where will the live...
