Regal Cinemas Near San Marino to Show the Presidential Debate Wednesday

LOS ANGELES, CA — Hey LA sports fans, want to see the fight of the century on the big screen? Then head on down to Alhambra or LA Live Wednesday to catch the final presidential debate between Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and GOP nominee Donald Trump.

If the last debate or the last two weeks are any indication, the debate promises to be a real street fight. Trump announced his surprise guests Tuesday: President Barack Obama’s estranged Kenyan half brother Malik Obama and the mother of an official slain in Benghazi. A pointed jab at the president who mocked Trump for “whining” about a rigged election Tuesday, the decision to host the Obama’s Trump-supporting brother seems aimed at embarrassing the president. Inviting a woman who blames Clinton for her son’s death, would seem to be an attempt to unnerve Clinton not unlike the last debate when he hosted women who accuse her husband of sexual abuse.

Regal Cinemas will show the third debate at movie theaters across the nation, including at LA Live and in Alhambra.

Regal Cinemas in Alhambra is at 1 E Main St and LA Live Stadium 14 is at 800 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles. Both will air the debate live starting at 6 p.m., according to a news release. Free tickets are available at the box office only. Regal Cinemas will offer a free small drink with the purchase of a popcorn for debate attendees.

In recent national polling, Clinton leads head-to-head match-ups against Trump, with the Democrat holding 47.7 percent support compared to 42.2 percent for the New York businessman, according to averages compiled by RealClear Politics.

The poll was conducted among 1,999 registered voters Oct. 13-15 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Among Trump's talking points on the campaign trail over the weekend he suggested that he and Clinton take drug tests before this week's final debate. Some saw it as a jab at Clinton's health, after she was treated for pneumonia, while others took it as a response to social media suggestions that Trump's repeated sniffing into the microphone during the first two debates might have been prompted by recreational drug use.

"We're like athletes," Trump told a crowd Saturday in New Hampshire. "I think we should take a drug test prior to the next debate. Why don't we do that?"
