Default Who's Watching..?

Who's going to watch the debate tonight?

I'll check in to catch the vibe, but I don't intend to watch much, certainly not all.

Who's watching?

My wife, a friend, and I are all watching it here tonight. Wine and craft beer close at hand before, during, and after.

I should have also asked why...so, why? Looking for information that will help you make a decision? Or hoping for a train-wreck and want to see it live?

Train wreck for sure. If the Donald mouths off she wins. It sucks that with all of the fricken people in the US this is what we have to choose from. But I would vote for a Monkey over Hitlary.

I cringe at actually hearing Shrillery's voice for more than a few seconds at a time. She's that damn repulsive. I'll probably just catch the highlights on the news.

Watching for the same reason people watch hockey and auto racing. Waiting to see the fights and the crashes.

I'll flip over during commercials, but I'll be watching some different losers tonight. My Saints play the Falcons on Monday Night Football.

Like every debate, I'll watch from beginning to end.

The race literally could not be any tighter at the moment:

NATIONALLY:

NON-PARTISAN, LIKELY voter polls:




Trump continues to gain on Hillary Clinton, BUT she still holds a small lead over 1% in the national polls on average.



STATE BY STATE:

In every state but 2 in the RCP averages, Either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump has a poll average lead of 2% or greater.

The 2 tight states in a virtual tie are Colorado and Florida. Clinton leads in Colorado by 0.2%, Trump leads in Florida by 0.1%.

As it stands right now, if we make Colorado and Florida toss-ups, neither candidate has enough EVs to win.

If Hillary Clinton were to take EITHER state based on the current map, she would win. Donald Trump would need BOTH states based on the current map to win.

The number of people who will be swayed by the debates is tiny. Probably less than 2% of likely voters haven't already made up their mind. Maybe half that even. Trump could come out and just stand there for 90 minutes saying "I don't recall." and I'd still vote for him over Hillary.

That said I'm watching it primarily to see how good Hillary's medical team is, to see if they get her dosage just right in order to keep her Parkinson's symptoms at bay. Look for wandering eyeballs, hacking cough, weird thick special water, and chunky green lung pieces.

I'll watch to see if ole Hilasaurus will keel over. She'll probably be loaded with stuff that will make her ok but I can dream. Also, any chance I could get a shot of the medical team on standby for her back stage?

Yes, I'll peep it. An estimated 120 million viewers, largest in U.S. political history.

I will watch every second. It will be a true test of my fortitude to survive 20 seconds of the lying, skanky, puss-filled piehole, of the murderous, conniving bitch-beast.

But I shall remain as unbiased as I can.

Watching political debates is not good for my health or general demeanor. I'll read about it afterwards.
