Don't Know If I Can Bring Myself to Watch the Debate

[Politicalgolfer]

I was an incurable political junkie by age 12...am now 75...and majored in political science in college. Always watched conventions, debates, etc. from beginning to end. But I don't know if I can do this one. I cannot tolerate listening to this Hitler, sick, filthy animal...I just cannot. I feel my heart, soul & body violated by this diseased sewer rat. I have more self-worth than to subject myself to this scum of the earth

1. He's ruined debates for me, too

I will keep an eye on DU for updates, but I just don't think I can tune in to watch it live.

[Politicalgolfer]

3. Same here

I will update via DU

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. I'm going to try. I want to hear what Joe says. I'll hit the mute button for Trump.

[SharonClark]

9. I thought about muting him as well

but I can’t stand to even look at him with his tiny hands pump and smirk.

[LuckyCharms]

4. I feel you and respect your view.

I'm going to watch it and hope my head does not explode in anger.

I'm watching because I think there is a real good chance that we are going to see a side of Joe Biden tonight that we haven't seen. I could be wrong, but I'm expecting Biden to destroy him in real time.

I'm not just looking for a Biden "win" tonight, I'm looking for him to turn Trump into an unrecognizable pile of flesh.

That might be wishful thinking, but if this does indeed happen, I would not forgive myself for not watching in real time.

5. I don't think my blood pressure will allow it.

6. Have yourself a good supply of Nerf balls on hand....

you can throw them at him on the TV without hurting it.

7. Debates

Debates rarely change people’s minds. To me they are a waste of time. Let’s vote already.

[Sympthsical]

8. I'm here for the train wreck

I don’t know what form it will take, but it promises to be a total mess.

[Stuart G]

10. I can't watch it...I don't know if I can do this one either..

Donald Trump almost makes me

I will watch the highlights tomorrow on DU.

[Squinch]

11. I'm with you. Can't do it.

[Princess Turandot]

12. You can follow along to a degree on DU: there will be a series of threads..

where folks post about what's going on. Afterwards, if you're interested in watching any part of it, the full event will be online, at Youtube and other sites.

13. selective mute button, a few good beers, and maybe a bowl

Watching Joe speak to America can be fun if you prepare accordingly.

[SeattleVet]

14. I'll be watching.

I'd never forgive myself if I missed seeing Needy Amin's meltdown, in real time.

It should be entertaining, alternating between a calm, measured recitation of complete sentences and relevant commentary and thoughts vs. a disjointed mess of sentence fragments that come nowhere near answering the actual question that was posed.

How many minutes into it until we hear the words 'fake', 'hoax', 'unfair', and 'rigged'? I say that all 4 are spewed in the first half hour.

15. This will be one of the RARE Times I'll watch...

...polygolfer, I understand stand completely as well as anyone else who'll avoid it IRT.

I started to become interested in politics by age 12, too!
Semi polititical junkie for decades since (I'm 67).

Since I really stopped listening to him except for radio snips by something '18, rarely ever watched him from the get go - I can take this.

I want to see Biden, I want to see hopefully real obviously goof ups from Drumph, exactly what lies he tells, and when - plus hoping he'll emotionally blow up, and shave a few more votes off -fingers crossed- in just the right States!

.I did a different set of math - you must have been 15-16 when JFK was inaugurated? Did you follow his Presidency pretty closely, then?
