Liveblogging the third US Presidential debate

And here we all are again. For the purposes of completion, and in the same sense of 'How bad can this get?' that saw me sit through the first Sex and the City movie (on video, with friends who could mock it with me, but still ...), I have once again readied the iPad, prepared beverages and cleared my early afternoon schedule to take in the horror ( Read more... )

Luckily it is looking very much like Hillary will win but it is horrifying that he has gotten this far. I hope his own party will slam him on the "I might not accept the results if I don't like them." The scary thing is whether his die-hard supporters will act out violently.

I'm hoping we get a Democratic majority in the Senate (heck, let's go all out and hope for the House too!) so she could actually get something done.

As always, the mind is boggled just by the idea that someone so completely moronic and hateful and idiotic could even be vaguely considered as a candidate, let alone get as far as he has. And again, as scary as he is, the fact that he has supporters, people one would think had working brains, is the scariest thing I can imagine. Probably being invaded by aliens would be less disturbing than the realization that a good portion of your fellow citizens are complete and utter ignorant, uninformed, undereducated, hatefilled moronic cretins who seem to have no ability to think and reason for themselves. I despair. Fortunately, I did not even know there was a debate til after it was over. Having your tv unplugged has benefits you don't even realize when you unplug it. You are even more brave and courageous than before, to put yourself through this again. How can he not 'accept the results'? What does that mean? He's going to force a coup if he isn't elected? Please, can the mothership just come and get me now?

I am so glad you are doing this, and I did not even have to read German newspaper recaps of the debate. :)
