Five Places to Watch the Final Presidential Debate in Metro Phoenix

Take a deep breath. The end of what may be the strangest, most unpredictable election season in all of American history is in sight, people! Tonight marks one of the final milestones: the third presidential debate. 

Chris Wallace of Fox News will moderate, which should make for some very interesting viewing. Will he ask Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton equally tough questions? Will either of them answer the questions he asks? Who knows!

Will Clinton show up ready for a fight, or will she take a cue from Michelle Obama (who is coming to town tomorrow, by the way) and take the high road? Will Trump attempt any semblance of presidential demeanor, or will he throw his party under the bus and continue to try to burn it all down? 

Whether you need a few drinks or the friendly shoulder of a stranger to cry on in order to make it through this, we've got you covered. Here are five places in the metro Phoenix area where you can catch tonight's debate, which begins at 6 p.m. sharp and will last 90 minutes.
