1st Presidential Debate
We have been engaging in Presidential political conversation since Obama's first term. Clicking on the TAGS will bring up some of the former conversations. A lot has changed over the last 10 years!
I like using polls and will start the final month of fanfare will a simple who will be watching the debates. I am staying home with my family to watch it. I think we will see two different political philosophies and tactics. One standard and the other avant garde. Here's a 2017 post from the last election: https://www.daycare.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85656 |
While I am interested I probably won't watch.
I find lately I am much happier if I reserve my evenings for anything not related to work or politics. :) |
I'm with BC :)

I'm a channel-changer so I will probably watch some of it while watching many other things then catch up on the highlights??!!:)
|
I plan to watch it but I'm not sure how long I can listen and watch without wanting to tear my hair out.

I originally said no on the poll but now my husband wants to. That means I will be watching, too, since I can't sleep with the TV on. :lol:
I found some fun Trump/Biden Debate Bingo cards that will make it a bit more fun for me, though. :lol::lol: Who comes up with this stuff?? |

I send my daycare kids to time out for acting like those two fools.

I found it very entertaining!:lol:
Especially the poor moderator trying to shut the candidates up to no avail!:eek::lol: |

As I said, I was going to simply find highlights in the news. Wow, lots of drama. :rolleyes: For someone who is expected to run a country, I'd expect a lot more.
I guess I'm clueless as to what a debate is supposed to be; did they cover any of the issues at all or just mock, lie and destroy? |
I watched the whole thing and the after-show that happened on CNN and all of it just left me frustrated.
|
I am not sure the debates will change the election anyway except maybe to make people throw their hands up and not vote! :eek:
No matter how/who/what I am for; I just don't think the Dems have a candidate that can beat Trump. But then again, I thought Hilary (not that I was for her because I wasn't) would beat Trump hands down and that didn't happen so what do I know????:lol::rolleyes: |
Debate highlights: Biden couldn't string together two sentences that made any sense and Trump took advantage of this by talking over him.
