I Think This Debate is Going to Be Very Difficult to Watch

[Doctor Jack]

I get the feeling it is going to be incredibly uncomfortable and cringeworthy. I'm sure hillary will do great but watching Trump implode and flop around like a fish on land is going to be hard to watch. I have no problems with a total meltdown but on live tv...everyone in this country is going to feel dirty after tonight.

1. It will probably be uneventful and boring

[Doctor Jack]

3. I don't see how

Reports say Trump is already psychotically angry right now and add to that being as unprepared as he was for the last one....

[PJMcK]

8. I think there was a bit of sarcasm there! (n/t)

[0rganism]

18. plus i imagine he hasn't been sleeping well for the last 2 days

even a gold-trimmed couch can probably feel mighty cold at 3am

[MoonRiver]

7. Uh, no way will this debate be boring.

2. Trump has a lot of fans, who'll be watching, and

even more people, from all areas and levels of society, btw, who will be loyal to him to keep the evil Democrats from winning. Too many people don't seem to understand the reality that underlies the extreme dysfunction the right has come to. They can never hit bottom because in their minds we are below them.

No matter how good or bad Trump does, in the end they'll make all the excuses needed to preserve their own egos, just as Trump will.

4. I do too... As much as I'd like to "drink" through it, I'm afraid of acid indigestion before

trying to go to bed. Plus that early work wake up call...

I have to watch.. The trainwreck is just too compelling, but it may well be unpleasant in more ways than expected.

[Doctor Jack]

6. He isn't going to go down with any grace or dignity

[0rganism]

20. the death of a major political party is bound to be ugly

it's not just tRump, he's only the dagger
once there are enough wounds (and i think there might just be enough now) it's going to start bleeding out, spurting the hopes and dreams and aspirations of conservative bumblefucks in all directions.

5. I agree, Doctor Jack

That's why I'm recording it and staying on DU and reading the debate threads so I don't have to see it live

The post-debate analyses-- they're fine to watch live

[VMA131Marine]

9. I agree!

I'm trying to find a way to watch in my shower to keep the Trump stink away.

[Hoyt]

10. Even if boring, the undercurrent will keep us watching. I think he's probably wound so tight,

anything could happen. He could have a massive coronary right there, or threaten Clinton, or just wimp out.

[oberliner]

11. Agreed

I can't wait for this election to be over and for Trump to go away.

[Charlotte Little]

12. Oh, stop it

Watch the debate with some backbone, will ya?

If Hillary has to face this, then the rest of us need to stop our pear clutching/hand wringing act and support her.

Watch it and be proud to vote for our first women POTUS.

[Hortensis]

15. Oh, good post. And, really, how much backbone does it

take for fortunate viewers to be able to cheer on the one good, moral, competent candidate on stage?

[uppityperson]

16. Hey, you. Happy autumn. It's a great time to take up leaf pressing.

[Cakes488]

17. I agree...I was shaking my head, head in my hands and cringing last time

I can't imagine trashpot's performance will improve. He hasn't changed anything...so how will it be any different?

[GWC58]

19. I'm waiting for Trumps head to go

That would be fun to watch, right gals & guys?

[Doctor Jack]

21. I was right

That was quite nauseating
