Will anyone watch the Democratic debate this weekend?
Boston Globe ^ | 1/16/16 | James Pindell

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.

**SNIP**

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."

Especially when their candidates show the youthfulness of the Democratic Party.

You might as well label Sunday night’s debate the Polident Debate.

Only if someone's holding a gun on me and making me do it.

For me, depends on how I feel at the time. It is sooo distasteful.

I decided to rent “Weekend at Bernies” instead. Bernie (the dead one) is still more likeable than Colonel Sanders and Hillary...and even has more energy.

They can discuss denture cream and hemorrhoid preparation.

Never have the Democrats looked more millennial.

“Watching Hillary is about as fun as watching paint dry.”

To each his own but I would rather pay to watch paint dry than to be paid to watch Hillary.

What is worse?

Republican “debates” with 8 too many candidates on stage, or the Democrat ones with no candidates but 3 oxygen burners on stage?

I grudgingly say the republican ones.

Call me win we are down to 3 or 4 candidates on stage. Don’t call me with the silly Dim waste of time.

Take bets on whether Hillary will have another long unexcused detour to the bathroom while Bernie debates himself alone on the podium.

Never, I don’t have time to waste on such liars and evil ideology. I know exactly what they will say (even if they use convoluted language to mislead).

I have read the Communist Manifesto and the Rules for Radicals and Machiavelli. The Democrats had proven they are the followers of Lucifer decades ago.

Pure irrational, evil ideologues, who fawn over slavery, baby-killing and sodomy. They are disgusting and should be in prison.

It’s designed so no one will watch it, just like all the Dem debates: the more people see of the Dems, particularly Hillary, the more they get turned off.

Personally, I’ll record it just in case something interesting happens like fisticuffs or someone collapses on stage due to old age.

How much more time will they allow Hillary for the bathroom break?

I haven’t watched any of the GOP debates. I have no interest in the Democrats debates either. Reruns of Gilligan’s Island are more informative.
