My mother always talked about avoiding things that got her "worked up" - the debate qualifies. I too, will probably watch a couple minutes of it" - be sickened - and retreat to something more comforting - and see what the pundits say.

I do wonder if it isn’t time to update the debates. The fact is the President doesn’t administer alone, and in today’s world decisions aren’t on oral arguments alone. Open it up. Let them have access to technology to present their proposals with actual references and analysis. Let them be able to provide evidence for their claims or rebuttals…

The last civilized and substantial debate was 2012. It’s a sad Commentary.

[Copper]

Each candidate will have a healthy supply of gotchas, supplied by a huge team that has been working on them for years.

[George K]

I dunno. Which to watch...Harris/Trump, or this:

[George K]

Harris's smirking is almost as annoying as Trump's tie.

[Copper]

I hit the wall at 12 minutes.

Maybe I'll go back for a few more minutes later.

Maybe not

[kluurs]

Should never watch this sober.

[LuFins Dad]

I’ve been assembling Legos with Finley, but I saw this clip. If she’s acting like this all the time, then it’s over.

You're right.

I'm not.

Well, almost not.

[kluurs]

If it’s a tie, Trump wins. Trump seems coherent so far. Kamala just suggested people are bored at his rallies. That got him going.

[Copper]

cnn commentators love Harris, she can do no wrong, she is superwoman

Haha on the way! I’m rocking the 3rd kiddo to sleep then will crack open a Truly and watch.

[George K]

Why is David Muir fact-checking Trump in real time?

This is a nut-picking account. You really think he chose a representative moment to clip?

[LuFins Dad]

@jon-nyc absolutely not, but at that point the debate was only 10 minutes old and the response was 2 minutes of it. I’ve watched more since then, and every single time he’s talked, she’s done the same thing. It’s very distracting and not endearing…

Rehearsed body language and facial expressions meant to convey joyful sneering condescension.

[George K]

Oh God, she said "Fine people" in Charlottesville.

But it doesn’t matter, these moderators aren’t going to call her on it.
