One was almost a presidential nominee last year — a hero to his party’s ideological base, hailed as the truest of true believers. And tonight, Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders are squaring off in the presidential debate that 2016 left behind. The two are appearing on CNN for a town hall forum on the future of the Affordable Care Act. (You’ll have to tune your first screen into CNN to see the actual action.) Also joining the fun: Yamiche Alcindor, who writes about social safety net issues after covering the Sanders campaign last year, and Margot Sanger-Katz, a health care correspondent for The Upshot.
