Hopefully, we'll laugh with them and not at them lol.
I'm guessing there's at least one candidate I'll be laughing at!

Harris? Just kidding. I'm watching for fun. I'm in California and Harris will win by a landslide here.

I'm in Minnesota, and while I'm not sure who will win and especially by a landslide; I also don't feel that Harris picked our governor as a running mate to help her in this state. I feel that she should/would have gone with Shapiro if that was her main reason for who to pick. In a way, if Harris/Walz wins, I think our state will be losing a governor that has been good for the state as long as I've lived here.

Anyway, the debate should be interesting and at least good for a few laughs no matter why.

Ben Shapiro? Now that would be funny a Harris/Ben Shapiro ticket.

I had to check to find out who Ben Shapiro is; never heard of him before.

As far as laughing during the debate, it took about 29 minutes for me to laugh out loud at something a candidate said.

Did you get through it without throwing anything at the TV? Hope so.

I don't know what was true and what wasn't but in terms of how they handled themselves Harris did much better than I expected and Trump was awful. Was he always this bad or has he declined a lot in the last 4 years?

I felt like throwing things at the tv multiple times. Trump was out there. Harris should've kept quiet and let Trump do all of the talking. Every time Trump opened his mouth, he lost millions of voters. I don't think that he's mentally competent to be President.

We are doing what we usually do, skipping the debate and watching late night pundits and their clips. Easier to swallow with a side order of humor 😉

In my opinion, I always thought he was awful even before he became a politician, but I do believe, as often happens when one ages, certain characteristics of themselves become more pronounced and in Trump's case it's his awfulness.

Agree. I felt this way about both candidates after the first debate and was actually thinking about not even voting for the office of President this year, something I have never done before.

Good choice. While we did watch the debate, it's always enjoyable to get the humor along with the facts. Not sure if you watch Seth Meyers, but I just heard he has a prime time 'closer look' special tonight; might be funny.

I don't think so, we watched several on youtube but don't remember Meyers.

I was kind of stunned that "Gavin Newsom" on Kimmel's skit was played by Meyer's brother Josh! I thought he looked familiar so looked it up. The guy playing Vance sure looks like what I'd think Haley Joel Osmont would look like as a grown up, too.

DH went to bed before our go-to Colbert's video was available so we'll watch that tonight, as well as looking for Meyer's - tyvm for that idea!

I've read Heather Cox Richardson's newsletter and a few other Substacks, my favorite cartoonist had an interesting David v Goliath take (attached)
then I read all the new grocery ads, added my DQs and now it's morning so I think I'd better let this go and hit the hay.

I will say this - Trump's closing argument was strong. If the abortion law is so bad, you're the one in power so why haven't you done anything? Was this enough to win the debate? Not even close. Trump came off as an unhinged old white man who will get us into a nuclear war. He said nothing of substance. He just rambled. In contrast, Harris came off as presidential. She painted the best picture of herself possible and everything Trump said made her look better. I think that Trump lost the election last night. Unless you're Sean Hannity, I don't know how you can vote for him.

Watching the debate is all I'm going to put into the election. It was an opportunity for both candidates to win my vote. One candidate did her job, the other one didn't. Unless the Republican party replaces Trump with someone more qualified, there's no reason to pay attention to the race. Trump can't come back from last night.

I forgot about Trump's pets comment. I wonder if your little possum is safe. If Trump wins, your possum had better hide in the dishwasher for the next 4 years...
