It's time to figure out how you're going to watch the Democratic debate in Nevada, because we're all kind of curious how former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg will actually do on stage. Yes, the billionaire's flooded the airwaves with ads, but how does he do in real time verbal sparring?

Bloomberg's addition could go one of two ways. Will the rest of the pack pile on Mike for coming in late — letting front-runner Vermont senator Bernie Sanders go another show without taking much hits? Or will everyone take it easy on Bloomberg, with the hope of getting to raid his war chest with the hope he drops out? The show starts now.

We're still in the shadow of this weekend's Nevada caucus (Feb. 22), and South Bend, IN mayor Pete Buttigieg will want to make a strong showing tonight so he doesn't lose his early state momentum — and push back against some of the conventional wisdom that he'd perform well early and then fizzle out. Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren and former U.S. vice president Joe Biden both also need to find a wind to fill their sails. 

Meanwhile, Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar's still got the co-endorsement of the New York Times editorial board, while billionaire Tom Steyer flailed out of the polling, and won't make an appearance at tonight's debate. Here's everything you need to watch tonight's Democratic debate online.
