I decided not to watch and from reading the DU comments, I am glad.

For the sake of my health and mental stability I decided not to watch any debates long, long ago. I can't even watch clips of his debate with Hillary without throwing my TV against the wall. A nanosecond of looking at him or hearing his voice is more than enough for me. Mr Adderall can lie and deflect 'till the cows come home. I can't afford a new TV, I won't have my ACA soon and am already poor.

Thanks to everyone on DU for filling me in thus saving my health, sanity and TV !!!

They need to give the moderator, or SOMEBODY, control of the mics.

This was one of the easiest handicapping jobs of my life. I haven't watched one second. Nor surprised by any of the summaries here

Biden never should have agreed to allow Chris Wallace to moderate the first debate

And remember the stupidity that Trump was going to skip the debates? As I emphasized, he would have wanted 10 of them

Though, it's a total waste of time because Trump has an "alternative fact" world and you either agree or disagree with it. It's not productive.

Although I did walk into the living room and heard cacophony from the TV, said “Is he making as ass of himself already”? —To my husband, I laughed and I’m now sitting in the hot tub.
