Will anyone watch the Democratic debate this weekend?

Quote
Sunday night’s presidential debate should be the most closely-watched meeting of the party’s candidates this year. But once again, thanks to the Democratic National Committee’s schedule, debate viewership will not be even close to what it could have been.

The 2016 Democratic presidential contest has been never been more competitive. This week, new polls showed former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton and US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont statistically tied in Iowa. The contest has become increasingly intense, with both Clinton and Sanders releasing new television ads this week that needle each other for the first time.

This alone would mean that the next Democratic debate could be the most important yet in the contest. What’s more, this is the last debate before the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire Primary.

But not only will this debate air at 9 p.m. on Sunday, in the middle of a three-day weekend, but it will also run during National Football League playoff games and — dare we say — a new episode of PBS’s popular series, “Downton Abbey.”

I may be wrong, but it appears not many here watched the Republican debate.   :laugh:

The PLAYOFFS are on and that debate will be more boring and more lying going on than the Barry State of the Union BS last week. :thud:

There is a Democratic debate this weekend? They sure have been doing a lot to hide it. And to position it, as usual, up against other high following shows on off nights. They must not want people to hear their candidates.

I will watch it as long as I can stand it.
I want to see if the dems are "growing" into this thing as well as the republicans are.

I didn't watch the Republican debate. I actually have a life outside this forum, and politics 24/7.

I can easily read here, FR, Drudge, listen to Fox News, CNN, Sirius XM Patriot and Potus and find out plenty.

Ho many times does one need to hear repeats of the same stuff, anyway?

Obama has been POTUS now for over seven years (thanks to George w. Bush and the GOPe).

In that time, I have not listened to more than five minutes of a single (speech) of his.

That makes two of us.

I have never encountered a more detestable public official in my life than B.H.O.

What is more detestable to me though is how he got there.

I haven't watched a DEM debate since Carter.  I stopped after I realized it was having a negative affect on my mental health. Why expose oneself to liberal lunacy when you don't have to?

Couldn't think where else to put this:

Innocuous, unless you consider Bill's idea of "good things happen."  :tongue2:

Or I got a dirty mind tonight ....

Hillary and Sanders enter, both wearing their Depends™.

(wild enthusiastic applause)

Moderator: Hillary, can you tell us what you do to keep you so vibrant and young?

(wild applause from "the audience")

Hillary: HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa (which is her standard answer to every question)

Sanders: Wait! Wait! Wait now! (waving his hands wildly and stopping the applause)
I just want to say here, that Mrs. Clinton is one of the most va-va-voom broads I have ever seen in my life. And if she was not running for President she could be a beauty queen, a pin-up girl, just like that Greta Garbo dame is.

(more wild, confused, applause...)

Nah, I think I'll pass.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
