I will be spending Monday evening watching Bullwinkle cartoons.

[redstatebluegirl]

We have done this during the Republican convention the past 12 years and I think it fits to do so during this "debate". It is going to be like reality tv, lots of stupid and only a small dose of policy. Trump is so easily baited, I would expect Secretary Clinton to do just that and show how volatile he is. I don't think these debates will change anyone's vote one bit.

I forgot to add I stole this idea from some friends of ours, giving credit where it is due.

Personally I can't handle 2 hours of Donald after a day of work, so Bullwinkle it is!

1. I will be watching the debates with a crowd of family. We won't miss a second.

We'll watch it on CSPAN so as to be free of the bullshit 'curating' (i.e. bias) of the media, but this is HISTORY and even as a bystander, I don't want to miss a moment of it. That glass ceiling is a big deal to many members of my family, and not just the women, either. When you've grown up with strong female role models, it hits a chord.

Bullwinkle? I can get that any time. This event is one for the ages.

3. Secretary Clinton's election will be historical. This debate will not be.

It is staged tv, I refuse to sit and listen to that moron go after a woman who has given her life of service to the United States of America and the women and men in it. That is what I am saying. History, when she is elected I will not miss a moment of it and will celebrate along with all of the strong women I have helped get elected to various state and local offices over the past 40 years or so.

I applaud you for being able to stomach him, I have had enough. Go get em Madame Secretary, you will blind him with policy, while he blinds his followers with bullshit.

11. Excellent response!

did you see the conason piece about the CGI?

what a surprise you didn't see him on TV during the latest Fools for Scandals media circus, surrounding the faux outrage over CGI, emails and health, which Swiftboating will cost the election if it happens

thanks again, media

[Gabi Hayes]

13. conason on CGI.....somebody posted it here

https://www.creators.com/read/joe-conason

....what Republicans once lauded as a font of good works is jeered as a sewer of venality. While scarcely a word of the criticism is true, that doesn't matter as much as the opportunity to smear the Clintons for political advantage. The most illuminating example was a widely publicized press release that falsely depicted a 2005 CGI "commitment" by Bahrain's crown prince as a bribe to sway the secretary of state in 2010. Like so many other slanders surrounding the Clintons' philanthropy, that "expose" from the right-wing claque Judicial Watch was a clumsy fraud, yet the media fell for it — and reputations were damaged.

Both Bill and Hillary Clinton are accustomed to such attacks after a quarter-century under the national spotlight. As he sometimes quotes, "Politics ain't beanbag." But the vicious attacks on the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative don't only injure those two battle-hardened politicians. The collateral damage includes many decent, hardworking people who have toiled for years on foundation and CGI projects, including thousands of volunteers, whose pride in helping humanity has been turned to ashes by this sustained propaganda campaign.

Pouring abuse on the people who do hard work to save lives is vile — and as James Carville observed recently, "somebody is going to hell for this."

If there is a just God, Carville is right. Meanwhile, as the liars and slanderers contemplate eternal damnation, the rest of the American people — and indeed, people around the world — ought to learn something about what the Clinton Foundation and in particular the Clinton Global Initiative have actually achieved during the past decade or so.

16. Thanks for the link we must have hit post at the same moment.

[redstatebluegirl]

14. Thanks, I didn't see the piece on the Clinton Global Initiative, do you have a link?

[MADem]

20. Different strokes for different folks.

I think the journey is as meaningful as the destination, even if it entails slogging through shit. The process is instructive, and shows what she has to put up with.

Change only comes when that kind of thing is seen under a harsh spotlight.

2. this

what no fractured fairy tales ???!!!

all kidding beside, i grew up watching rockey and friends .
ps: I agree w u on the tRump thing . easy stomach.

[wncHillsupport]

4. Go for it.

You have the right to not want to watch Donald or Hillary, each for half of the debate. You have the right to not be informed about how the competition behaves and how Hillary responds to it.

This is the first time, in the entire history of our country, that a woman will be in a Presidential debate in the USA.

You better believe I will be watching history made on Monday night. And sending as many positive vibes to Hillary as I can possibly send through the airwaves.

[redstatebluegirl]

7. See my response to the first post above.

I am pretty well informed. I get three newspapers a day here, and read them. C-span is my friend. To even say that I do not see the history here is silly. My friends, some of them elected officials in three different states would laugh out loud.

You have every right to watch, I applaud you for your fortitude, but don't assume that someone who has worked for women for a long time doesn't care about having a woman in the White House because I care deeply. I just refuse to take part in this exercise in reality tv being utilized to demean a woman who is a more qualified candidate than anyone in the past 20 years.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

5. I plan to watch Monday Night Football, and

Read the recaps of the debate in the funny papers the next day. The very sight of and sound of drumpf voice literally turns my stomach.

[mucifer]

6. If you want to compromise watch the episode from Wattasmatta U

That's the one where all the money for the University goes to the football team and the stadium and the professor can't afford a beaker.

Some things haven't changed since the '60s.

[LWolf]

8. I will probably

spend it comatose in front of the tv after a long, exhausting work day. I'll be asleep in the chair by 7:15 (my time) and will wake up and stagger off to bed at 8:30 or so.

There is nothing going to be said that is going to change my evaluation of either candidate, but I need to watch it anyway, if reluctantly. I have a student who has asked to make debate watching and reporting an extra-curricular activity. Which means he'll want to discuss it with me. So I'll do my teacher duty and turn it on. Staying awake? I probably can't last through the whole thing.

9. Trump University should be renamed 'Wossamatta U.'

[wryter2000]

22. Now you've done it

I have to get out all the DVDs and watch them again.

[Gabi Hayes]

10. Python for me...did you hear about poor Terry Jones?

very sad

[redstatebluegirl]

12. I love Monty Python! Yes I heard about Terry Jones, so darn sad.

[Jim__]

15. You wouldn't have to handle 2 hrs of Trump - it's a 90 minute debate!

[redstatebluegirl]

17. But it would feel like 8 hours.... :-)

[Cooley Hurd]

18. Do what I did in '84, '88 and '92...

I held debate parties for myself and my friends. Had a stocked cooler and plenty of snacks. Right before it started, I handed out those rubber suction-cupped thingies that allowed you to fling them at the screen that would stick as long as there was enough spittle.

Of course, those of us who passed the bong beforehand had trouble with excess spittle.

The upside? Never had to see Reagan/Bush's faces (since they were covered in rubber suction-cups).

The downside? Chiseling dried spittle off my TV.

[wryter2000]

23. I've stocked up on popcorn

Unfortunately, I've already eaten a bunch of it.

[shenmue]

19. I will be at work

[gg4usa]

21. I have been waiting for a debate between these two since the beginning

I can't wait to see trump's face go blank when he's asked a policy question or hears Hillary's detailed response. Yes, it will be a media circus, but I'm hoping it will become glaringly apparent who the adult in the room is. Hillary just needs to act the way she did in the Benghazi hearings with a bit more humor and sarcasm, and a crapload of facts. I want to see her nail him on his tax records, his use of charitable donations for personal use, his conning his workers and trump u 'students', his ties to Putin and the Russian email hacking.

[OregonBlue]

24. Me too. And especially after the debate when the entire MSNBC team tries to tell us how

manly and forceful and informed Trump was. The way they slobber over him is disgusting.

[Greybnk48]

25. I have The Complete Rocky and Bullwinkle DVD

so I think I may join you redstatebluegirl. What a fabulous idea!

[redstatebluegirl]

30. We have them too! We love them!

[Laser102]

26. I love Bullwinkle! Just rediscovered him on YouTube.

[NBachers]

27. You may find Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale of particular topical interest.

[redstatebluegirl]

31. I had not thought of that but yes....

[doc03]

28. I will be watching the new season of Longmire on Netflix n/t

[Stuart G]

29. Sorry.....but for me...Bugs and Daffy will have to do..

I got a bunch of Bugs and Daffy toons ready to go......no Bullwinkle and Rocky toons.


I can't stand watching that stuff live...maybe on Tuesday I will take a look here, and see what everyone says..

[redstatebluegirl]

32. We have Bugs and Daffy too!

I agree, we will look on Tuesday morning and see what they are saying.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

33. I can not stomach watching Trump.

I'll probably catch some of the debate on CNN radio later on, but I'm not watching the orange swine.
