FOX News to stream Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and others at Republican primary debate for free

Regardless of your politics, watching the debates of both the Republicans and Democrats can be informative and entertaining. Of course, even if you do not like the man or his beliefs, Donald Trump in particular is entertaining. His unfiltered mouth has created quite the stir on social media. Sometimes it feels like people only watch the GOP debates so that they may comment about him.

The next such Republican presidential primary debate will be a FOX News-only affair. If you are a cord-cutter or don't get that channel, I have some good news -- FOX will be live-streaming it Thursday, January 28th, at no charge. Yup, you can watch Trump, Cruz and the rest for free.

"As previously announced, both debates will be presented live from the Iowa Events Center at 7PM/ET and 9PM/ET on FNC, as well as the network's additional platforms, including FOX News Radio, FOX News Mobile and the FOX News Go app. FNC's first Republican primary debate on August 6th delivered a record-breaking 24 million viewers and was the highest-rated non-sports cable broadcast of all time", says FOX News.

While online-streaming of cable broadcasts is not unique, the really cool aspect is that you do not need to authenticate a cable subscription to participate. For many, authentication means being locked out of watching, or "borrowing" a friend or family member's login credentials. For this special broadcast, no borrowing is needed -- it is truly open to all.

Of course, there has been chatter about the possibility of Mr. Trump skipping the debate. As per the below tweet, he is unhappy with Megyn Kelly being a moderator. True, the two have had a tumultuous relationship since the last time she moderated a GOP debate, but it is unlikely that he will pass on the opportunity for headline-making drama.

If you want to tune in, the main event starts at 9pm ET. You can even tune in on either a desktop or mobile device. Very cool.
