If your a rational human being you already know who the correct person is to vote for regardless of where you are on the political spectrum.

Exactly. Are there really people on the so-called "fence" about who they'll vote for?

"Wait. I need to see what he/she says about tariffs on foreign goods."

or

"It's going to depend on what he/she says about protecting this country from radicals. I worry about my children's safety every time they leave the house. I feel we're a prime terrorist target here in North Dakota."

Considering it's not really a debate I think I'll pass. It's a scripted performance or simulation of a debate, much like our "democracy." It's pure spectacle and that's how CNN is promoting it. You'd think it was a damn UFC fight going by their ads.

It's not going to turn Trump into a decent, honest person or Hillary into a non-corporate shill. There is no reason to watch this "event" and the football game is better entertainment.

Debate for me. I have watched every presidential debate since 2000. It is only this year that I finally broke my streak on the primary debates. If I am going to complain about the choices, I should at least be able to cite why.

Also, I live in AL. We don't care about professional football down here.
That's a lie, y'all are crazy about the Crimson Tide. ;)

Probably more undecided voters than we've seen in a very long time (I don't closely follow Presidential elections). The avg. national poll is now 42-40 in favor of Clinton, so nearly 1/5 of the electorate favors a 3rd party candidate (who can't win) or is still deciding between the "lesser of two evils."

The debate might be amusing to watch if every time Drumpf spoke a crawl appeared underneath him pointing out all the lies.

Nah, it would still be painful to watch.

OK, what if they injected him with truth drugs and he had to try spewing his drivel without being able to lie?

Maybe.

... and hocked him up to a shock gizmo that punished him each time he even tried to lie?

Getting closer!

Can I have what's behind door #3? If there's an episode of Cop Rock that I've seen less than 10 times that sounds like a winner.

How can you possibly watch a debate? What sort of brain damage does it take to think that you're going to hear actual honest answers? You're going to be force fed the same carefully scripted platform responses that you've heard before, each crafted and polled to attempt to appeal to 51% of the voters.

I'm pretty sure Trump isn't using "carefully scripted platform responses".

Well, I watched the more brutal match but I don't think any concussions were involved. Well I guess we will know tomorrow.
