Presidential Debate Thread

Once again the American people have found and nominated the two most qualified US citizens to vie for the presidency. Now, like Lincoln and Douglas, these luminaries will face off in the arena of intellectual combat, a presidential debate.

I believe such a significant and solemn event deserves its own thread. That said, I will probably be unable to watch due to TDS but plan to actively follow on relevant social media sites, including this thread.

Thoughts, predictions, anyone want to make an actually good opening post? (I’m literally at an Olive Garden after a dentist appointment.)

This is not a good opening post, unfortunately.

I normally consume debates like candy but I just don’t think I can watch tonight. I sort of dread that Trump is leading in all the polls and appears headed to a win. I’d be sweating every tiny Biden mistake knowing that the press will magnify each one, all the while Trump lies and rambles nonsensically for 2 hours and is met with “Trump keeps Biden and moderators off balance” headlines.

Good luck to all, and fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Slow motion beheading video incoming. Decrepit old crypt keeper Joe getting wafflecrushed by Dopey Hitler. As Bart Scott would say, CAN’T WAIT.

Another thank you to those of you who are going to watch and post, because I sure as hell don’t have it in me.

All you need to know is one the moderators is the same person who ended the previous debate by calling it a “shit show” on live tv.

This isn’t a presidential debate. It’s a cock fight meant to appease the thrashing hoard. There is zero dignity in any of this.

Is this a right winger of some kind? I avoid twitter like the plague but can’t help but notice the first hundreds and hundreds of comments are all hard right Ya’ll Qaeda hoopleheads.

ok, that’s reassuring at least

Here’s a better source.

I’ll be tuning in for the train wreck entertainment, and likely tuning out five minutes thereafter in complete disgust.
