One of the stories will have to wait for the morning. It was a historic vote, but 4 hours of tape to find quotes... it's late.

And they did it more than once!!!!

It is amazingly interesting.
Esp. compared to the debates.

(38,187 posts)I have no plans to watch any of them either. I already know I don't want any of them as president. Their records speak for them and their records and their comments are atrocious.

(86,767 posts)I was NOT going to watch as I have refrained all the other childish shouting matches, but my friend wanted to try watching and wanted me to join him since we have very long, in depth political conversation regularly. But we had to have alcohol to get through it.
After all of that, I wish I had stayed home. Not only do I not do alcohol well, I have a headache now too.

(12,448 posts)Tonight, I watched an old favorite British TV series: Auf Wiedersehn, Pet. A comedy, but muchmore intelligent than the circus on CNN.
Populist_Prole
(5,364 posts)I had to endure it only as long as it took me to microwave my dinner. eat it hurriedly, and passing through in/out a few times. It was brutal to endure.
All I remember it was just a lot of pontificating blowhards falling over themselves to sound like who is the biggest warmonger. Isis this, Isis that. Poor Israel.
Did they actually talk about anything else?
Martin Eden

Nevertheless, I did not choose to watch it (the wife controlled the remote while I perused the internets).
Rand Paul was the only relatively sane voice on foreign policy (which highlights the insanity of the group as a whole).

Those fools look like pricks on steroids! That is how I feel. Hope am not insulting anyone on here!
Cracklin Charlie
(12,904 posts)I was actually surprised to hear Donald Trump (about Iraq) and Rand Paul (absolutely shredded Christie about Putin) make a couple of statements that I agreed with.
We laughed our asses off at the rest of it, though. I swear, you could put all those Republican candidates through a blender, and mash 'em all up together, and still not fashion one decent candidate.
951-Riverside
(7,234 posts)debates have been sooooo boring and there is no variety whatsoever.
What makes it worse is that they are so afraid to confront each other on issues because they think its more important to appear to be united against repukes.

(3,919 posts)and instead, push their agendas, rather than attack one another with idiocy, strut and puff out their chests and act like clowns.

(24,032 posts)...to be informed. Each time, I have been unable to make myself tune in. Ted Cruz's nasal whine is off-putting enough, all by itself.
Instead, I thoroughly enjoyed myself watching re-runs of Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue on the newly discovered H&I channel.

And any real crazy statements will be available in multiple places.

Obama, bad.
Taxes, too high.
ISIS, scary.
"I'll be a tough guy in foreign affairs"
"Let's make america great again" (When they're the reason why we're in decline.)
Same song. Different day.

(10,172 posts)Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland. It was pretty good, especially for a movie neither of us had heard of, and I KNOW it was better than watching the debate buffoonery.
