I can't stand another second of the incumbent's voice or look at his facial expressions or hear another lie.", I would have picked that one.

I might be able to watch the whole thing or maybe only the first 60 seconds. I'm checking my wine supply now.

I do want to support Joe though and I want to hear how he replies to all the lies.
It's a shame it's come to this. A presidential debate where a life long public servant with deep compassion and empathy, not to mention vast experience has to debate someone who would not be able to pass a middle school civics test, let alone the test that immigrants must pass to become US citizens.

Working form home I keep Sirius' Progress Channel playing throughout the day, so I will have multiple shows dissecting every word and nuance that occurs. As well as all of Cheetolini's bat-shit shenanigans.

Instead, I think I'll watch the other trainwreck on tv tonight: Giants at Eagles.

There are so many good folks on DU who take one for the team.

I cannot watch one second of Trump. The only way I can stand to hear his voice is when Sarah Cooper is doing her thing.

So this is for everyone who is watching tonight and posting on DU.

I'll watch selected clips and read through DU commentary. I want to hear what Joe had to say and learn about how things went, but there's no way in the world I will voluntarily watch or listen to trump. It's just not worth the mental aggro. Also adding my thanks to the folks on DU who have the fortitude to watch!

It was completely incomprehensible.

I thought it was me. Kinda was, but everyone I talked to said pretty much what I said just maybe with less confusion involved.

If it gives me a headache I will bail no matter how much a political junky I am.

My vote was in a week ago.

I’ll be in my car listening to the radio when it starts. But I’ve reached my limit with Trump’s shit-flinging, so if it devolves early on, I’m out. I’ll catch the highlight reel tomorrow morning.
