I may not watch the last debate.

[arely staircase]

Maybe I will follow someone blogging it in real time (here for example). But I don't think I can take watching another one. Trump is so fucking gross I can't look at him.

Anyone else feel that way?

[Lifelong Protester]

1. Yep. We are happy to be otherwise engaged.

It is all the pundits will talk about when we get home.

[fun n serious]

2. Yes,

I will watch but I agree. Trump is a grotesque ogre and hard to look at.

[chillfactor]

3. same here...

i will stick to DU and read comments others have who have a stronger stomach than I do.

[marybourg]

24. Me too. nt.

[Siwsan]

4. I have been watching them with my thumb on the mute button

I catch up on what the bloviating cheeto is saying by following on DU.

[sarae]

8. I've done this before...

I put captions on and then mute it when he's talking. It makes it much more watchable.

[Cha]

69. Oh that would have been a good idea!

Closed captions. it's much less of an intense impact when you're reading what they say.

Oh well, the debates are gone now. Thank Goodness!

72. It's much easier to read Drumpf's words

than it is to hear his awful voice. lol

And yes, I'm SO HAPPY we're done with debates!!

Cha!

[Cha]

73. His voice is like a cartoon villian.

It seemed put on to me because I've had the distinct pleasure of never having had to hear him before in my life.

When Hillary was imitating him in that first SNL vid last year during the primaries I didn't know what to think..

THIS IS IMPORTANT: Hillary's Donald Trump impression is really good. Go to 2:58 and watch. …

[sarae]

74. She was so good in that skit!!

I haven't seen it since they first aired it – it was entertaining to re-watch. I loved her on Zach Galifianakis' show, too – she's really funny!

Thanks, Cha!

[Cha]

75. I had the same reaction..

I hadn't seen it since last year and then I saw that tweet on The Obama Diary and laughed really hard all over again. Hillary is funny!

Yeah she was really dry humor on Zach's show.. I thought it was a good prep for drumpf.

sarae~

[Third Doctor]

5. I'm not watching

because Trump and Chris Wallace will piss me off too much.

[Blue Idaho]

6. I'm out...

My wife and I have already voted - even if we hadn't, I have no interest in watching Trump make a mockery of our political process.

[sarae]

7. I'm going to try to watch it,

but the last one made me so fcking angry.

His voice really sets me off. I need a Donald Trump stress doll that I can throw against the wall.

[cannabis_flower]

11. We had a watch party once ..

When Bush was running against Kerry where we had a supply of socks to throw at the screen.

[sarae]

60. Good idea...

but I suspect I'll need something more satisfyingly breakable for this debate.

[cannabis_flower]

67. Confetti eggs!

[Cha]

70. They say drumpf was doing good Alec Baldwin. lol n/t

[sarae]

71. He was!!

lol, I can't wait to see what SNL does next time...

[geek tragedy]

9. The fact that Fox News is running the debate makes it a no go for me.

Absurd that Fox gets a chance to put Clinton on trial for 90 minutes while Trump blathers away.

[arely staircase]

40. +1 nt

[nruthie]

10. I'm sitting it out, too.

I get physically ill seeing that cretin; and God only knows what sort of disgusting behavior he will pull. These "debates" have nothing more to add at this point. I think I will save what is left of my sanity and read instead. No doubt there will be extensive reports of the entire side-show.

[arely staircase]

12. I honestly worry about her safety being that close to him nt

[NCTraveler]

13. Understandable.

I'm going to watch.

[beaglelover]

14. I have not watched any of them. Too nerveracking.

[rurallib]

42. I am with you

[AmericanMan1958]

15. Agree, will watch reactions on twitter

Then catch highlight after.
Screw Trump!!!

[PasadenaTrudy]

16. I'll follow on twitter

Can't watch him either. Not good for my mental health.

[unitedwethrive]

17. Can't stand to hear all his unchallenged lies...won't be watching.

[BigDemVoter]

18. Amen to that.

He is a repulsive purulent pustule in the anal crevice of human kind. I cannot tolerate the sound of his voice or the image of his face. He is the most repelling person I can possibly imagine. I do not want to watch another debate, but sometimes I do things against my better judgment. I have a funny feeling we will all need some anti-nausea medicine, but the possibility of watching that Ass Clown completely melt down in public will most likely pry me out of my chair to watch the Orange Shit Gibbon unravel.

[smirkymonkey]

38. You have pretty much described exactly how I feel about him, although

I don't know if I will be so brave. I couldn't make it through the last one because I couldn't stand one more minute of listening to his lies and looking at his ugly, bloated orange face. He just sends me into a rage - it's not healthy. I think I will probably wait for the download the next day.

[TeamPooka]

19. I'll watch the highlights and post debate shows. I can't watch him lie anymore. My TV won't survive

[jimlup]

20. Absolutely

But remember - Hillary actually has this one.

Think of the "chill out people I've got this" Obama memes we used in '12 and '08. It applies now as well. She's got his! She knows how to handle a bully.

[Rex]

21. I can't watch Trump for very long.

His voice grates against my nerves.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Same here. Wish it were cancelled.

[Neema]

23. I didn't watch the first, and was roped into watching the second, much to my chagrin

So no, I won't be watching the third. Why get angrier than I already am? He's a festering boil trying to pass himself off as a presidential candidate. I have no desire to see him any more than I have to see him.

[ailsagirl]

25. Not watching

Will listen to post-debate discussions but no live viewing

[nolabear]

26. If you have Sirius radio they're doing a MST3K style heckle-along

John Fugelsang and TV's Frank (Coniff). I think it's channel 121. Might be the only way to go.

[bmstee01]

27. I'm feeling the same way

I dont feel like anyone is going to get a chance to talk about anything important. It's just going to be attacks and defend.
Most people I talk to are ignoring the news until after they've voted. I wish I could go to sleep
Until Election Day.

[PunksMom]

28. I feel the same😕

I'm so tired of the garbage & hate that comes out of his mouth.

[kimbutgar]

29. I don't want to watch it either but my husband can't wait for the dumpster fire

[mucifer]

30. he is gonna filibuster her with lies. I can't watch that again. It's gross.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

31. I haven't watched a minute of the debates.

I am not gonna start now. I already know who I am NOT voting for...

[LuvNewcastle]

37. I haven't watched them either.

I only use the tv for video games now. Much more pleasant.

[meadowlark5]

32. I'm not watching either

It sounds like he is just going to be horrible. And his topics will be the "quid pro quo" and emails and probably Benghazi since the one of the moms is in the audience. He'll point her out just like he did the Clinton accusers.

[lapucelle]

33. I don't like watching debates because I get too nervous,

so I passed up a debate watching invitation here on LI.
I have to learn to live with my regrets.

[bayoulala]

34. Not watching

Can't abide Trump. Will follow debate on Twitter.

[napi21]

35. I always watch. This year I've been yelling more obscenieties than usual, but I know I

can make my own decisions. Sometimes I agree with the talking heads and sometimes I don't. At least I know this is the last one!

[ebbie15644]

36. I'm not watching. I was too uncomfortable last one

Seriously I was very uncomfortable watching it

[LS_Editor]

39. No. It needs to be watched. This dangerous trend of writing him off is too prevalent here.

Vigilance is required, not hubris.

Trump has not lost yet. He could still win.

[arely staircase]

41. How it gets spun who the (real) polls think won are what matter anyway

But knock yourself out. You have a stronger stomach than me.

[LS_Editor]

66. Putting your head in the sand won't make the bad man go away.

[Saviolo]

43. I find him very slightly less gross

than Ted Cruz. But yeah, pretty low bar to cross.

[lovemydog]

44. Hey, do what makes you comfortable.

I'm sure you'll vote (or have already voted). I do understand why you are sick of seeing or hearing him.

For me, I don't watch much of any tv 'news' & pundits. I prefer watching the debates because I'd rather hear it directly from each candidate. Then I may watch a little cnn but not too much. I prefer forming my own conclusions over watching people spin things so much.

I'll check in later here, for laughs & more info.

[arely staircase]

51. Early voting starts next week here

Tomorrow I start phone banking my precinct (usually solid R, but lots of Hispanic voters now) Im doing gotv with all 800 registered voters with Hispanic surnames.

But Im not watching Trump lie and be disgusting.

[lovemydog]

62. Thank you so much for volunteering.

For real, you're helping make a better place for all.

My sister is phone banking in Florida & she enjoys it.

Don't watch that disgusting jerk. I won't even say his name.

Have a good evening!

[William769]

45. I'm right there with you.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

46. Wouldn't miss it for the world....

[SammyWinstonJack]

47. I haven't watched at all. Will not start with the last one.

[boston bean]

48. No. i will be watching it. !!

[Cakes488]

49. I think everybody should watch even though he makes it painful. If Clinton could perform more

like the first debate I'll be pleased...she needs to be back on offense. Whatever question she gets she needs to answer it and then pivot it back to something that trashbag has or has not done...that's all it would take.

[debbiekauti]

50. on the debaTE

i WON'T MISS IT i HAVE UTMOST FAITH IN HER.

[arely staircase]

55. It isnt a lack of faith in her. She'll be fine. Its him I cant look at anymore

[dhol82]

52. Train wreck time

Need to watch the cars going off the rails.

[RKP5637]

53. I watch to see what is going on. Trump, being this close to the WH, is a very sad commentary on some

Americans. Hillary sure got it right, Deplorables!

[pangaia]

54. I will be asleep in St Petersburg,

after a dynamite concert at the Mariinsky Theater Concert Hall.

[GWC58]

56. I'll watch from my DVR.

I'm watching Cubs-Dodgers game.

[apcalc]

57. I go to bed at 9 PM.

Read about it the next day....

[GP6971]

58. I won't watch

but I will record it and follow along here. Depending on what happens, I may or may not watch it on Thursday or Friday.

[Tess49]

59. Yep. I feel exactly the same way. I can't stand the sight of him. n/t

[Dracaena]

61. It has been over a month...

...since I have been able to look at the orange tinted dumpster fire. If I get the local weather or something on a television news cast & the beast creature comes on (seems like national corporate media is doing their best to keep him front and center on our tv screens), I quickly mute the sound and look away. I'm getting into the habit of doing that with most GOP'ers I hate (so being in Wisconsin that would mean muting & looking away from Granny Starver Ryan, Ro Jo the Clown Johnson & our dearly detested Gov. Walker.)

If I do bother with the debate, I will have Twitter fired up with Patton Oswalds & Driftglass running tweets to amuse myself. Or I might just read a book.

I've voted already, so the debate means very little to me. Only my heart will go out to Hillary having to share the stage with a half complete male monster.

[LisaL]

63. Yep.

Not going to watch.

[sarcasmo]

65. Will watch comedians have fun on Twitter.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

68. Haven't watched any of them. It is just too depressing to see exactly

what a poor excuse for a human being Trump is while knowing that millions of Americans want this sort of ignorant, nasty, immature, crass bully to be our president.
