I'm infinitely more excited to watch tonight's debates than rest of the Luke Cage episodes I have left. #ELECTBORTION2016

Wow, De Niro's message is brutal, I love it.

That was hotter than Duel of the Fates and Battle of the Heroes combined!
I found an exclusive clip from tonight's debate as well.

With the rift between the Trump supporters and the establishment going on right now? If that continues, if the Trump supporters continue to feel disenfranchised by the GOP leadership, as long as Democrats actually get out and vote in the midterms they should be able to win back a lot of seats they've lost.The Republican base is divided enough right now that I doubt they could agree on a single candidate, unlike the Democrats.

I can see the downticket getting affected this election, but until the Dems get their shit together for the midterms, you're gonna see Republicans getting elected. Don't be so naive. Plus after this exhausting election cycle, I bet turnout is gonna be abysmal for the 2018 midterms.

Elected? Sure. In enough numbers for them to still have enough players on the field to matter is the question.

The problem is the Republicans may be faltering, but it's not like the Dems are super enthusiastic right now either. It's just a powerful no-to-Trump vote right now, but the Dems are also struggling for unity in some ways right now too. Even if Trump loses, I still think the anti-establishment voice - on both sides - is going to be significant from here on out.
Unlikely. And once Hillary is president they'll drum up the same kind of radical opposition to fight the "tyranny of the progressive agenda" but with more sexist undertones than racial ones.
and yes I vote in mid-terms and primaries

Early voting and new voter registration shows Democrats are very enthused right now. Both are up
They might be new voters just to vote against Trump, but they're still new Democrat voters. At least some of them will vote again in the future.

Yes, I understand that. But will Dem unity hold for a bang-up turnout in the midterms? I doubt it.
It's always super depressing during a midterm vote when its just you surrounded by a sea of old angry republican white people.
Then just you by yourself as a Dem.
Been like that every time ever.
One time people in the line were talking about how Dems should stay home and not vote cause this is their time (as angry republicans) to choose what happens.
And I was just thinking to myself "boy is your wish being granted"

Hillary needs her own Mortal Kombat "Finish him" move.

Trump needs to be aiming lower.

The house is gerrymandered, so Republicans owning the House is the natural state of things. There are more Democratic seats in the Senate up for election in 2018 than Republican seats, and whatever margin Democrats win by this year is going to be very slim anyway. I wouldn't get too confident.

What's with the dog?

I guess she could knock him off the building but I wonder what the Trump fans would say? Punch the dog?
It's suppose to be her pet in the overall scheme of things. Just sharing the art and that's it. most art portrays Hillary as ugly but feel it's a nice middle ground.

underappreciated post lmao.
Even if you get drunk, this might sober you up real fast. Might be a waste, save it! Use it to celebrate after it's over.
Don't use rhetorical criteria for doing shots, if you want to live.

Just booze for me. It'll do.
Or unless you want to drink charcoal and have your stomach pumped.
The whole event will likely devolve into a farce real quick so try to get into your preferred mindset for watching comedy.

I thought I missed a dog scandal.That's not really how it works.

Every time Donald Trump specifically outlines and details a plan to the people during the debate to make America great again, take a shot.
Even children could participate.

The dog needs to be a cat and Donald needs to be grabbing for it.
The moderators were siphoning through the questions earlier today. It'll be incredibly important questions, with the leaked tape off the top.
Which is the big thing here. Hillary's going first, she gets first word on these tapes, not Trump. Whatever she says will change how the night is going to go. His apology after her might fall apart at the seams. Or he might go into full attack mode and not defend himself.

Oh ok, I was under the impression the audience was going to ask the questions live, it will definitely be very interesting to watch.
I think they let the audience ask the moderator approved questions. At least, that's how it's usually done. Then the moderators either follow up or push them to actually answer the question. So it'll be fascinating to see Hillary walk around the room, talk to the people asking... while Trump's town halls have been him sitting on the stool, unmoving, or standing by the moderator in the corner.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Hmm, I could go for a 90 minute Dogfish Head right about now. I'm Sober Sally tonight though, just going to slurp down some wings and take in the schadenfreude. Not something I would normally indulge in...but if Trump wants to be President, he's gotta prove it like everyone else. I want to watch Clinton give him an impromptu case of testicular torsion live on national TV.
If you google "next presidential debate" it will tell you exactly when the debate starts adjusted to your timezone.
I've watched it like 20 times, and keep coming back to it.
I don't have great software for this, but:
Ha!
