All Hillary has to do is find a way to work in a "not even your own running mate can defend you" soundbite and he'll go off.

Coming from Trump this is rich.

Everything was Trump.
The dates for these debates have been known for a year, it's the NFL that's running a game during the debate. Not the other way around.

Not really. It is Sunday after all.
That being said, most People will end up watching the highlights of the debate the next day anyway

As someone who has watched both debates the next day streaming while at work...
What does this matter?
Hi Don
They schedule the debates so they all are on different days. If you miss this one, you can catch the next one. Or just watch a stream.

Yes these were booked so far in advance anyway. They had no idea the night game was Giants Packers.
Better get your VCR programmed.
Anti-establishment conservatives don't want the government to be effective, they want the government to go away.

Well, considering Trump has squandered his wealth, he needs to be rich somehow.
This is a dumb post. I'm not the one these debates need to convince. Are you assuming that my enjoyment of the Packers means I'm not politically active?
I'm just saying, folks: a lot of undecided voters would rather watch America's Actual Team (TM) play a team from its largest media market rather than a political debate.
Considering the last debate set a record for number of viewers and the NFL had to warn it's sponsors that viewership would be down, probably not.
Let's be real though, the NFL could have easily adjusted it's schedule and put a shit game on against the debate. They had more than enough notice.

Ratings-wise, it was on the low side, with early data averaging it at 36 million. For comparison:
2008: 70 million (Biden-Palin)
2012: 51 million (Biden-Ryan)
2004: 44 million (Cheney-Edwards)
2016: 36 million (Kaine-Pence)
2000: 29 million (Cheney-Lieberman)
But holy shit at that 2008 viewership. That was even higher than the ratings for the main Presidential debate between Obama & McCain (52 million)

I don't know. I get a lot of enjoyment out of watching someone be moody and childish...and when I've had enough of Odell Beckam I'll switch over to Trump.

Donald Trump really is Sarah Palin's final form
I was just joking, but the point remains it's super easy to watch after the fact. Do you really think you are going to miss out in some way if you don't watch it live?
Nah, I'm fine. I thought my post was a throwaway and didn't expect so many people to respond.
I'll probably have Twitter and GAF open for the debate, TV/GAF for the game. I like reading GAF's live-reactions on a bunch of things.
I silently streamed the (terrible) Falcon/Saints game while I had the first debate on the big screen. NBC Sports can be streamed easily on any device and you don't even need a cable subscription. It's pretty easy watching both the game and the debate if you care about both.
Every time I see/hear "Mike Pence", this scene always comes to mind:

Sadly, I don't think this is the final form. It gets worse from here.
Much worse.
She realises how valuable she is to Fox News so she's willing to fight back against Trump. Still an awful person who only cares when she's personally slighted
She really doesn't have as much common sense as you think. She just hates Trump and thinks homophobia is dumb, that is a very low bar to clear. Watch her coverage of Hillary's Benghazi hearing and her thoughts on a non-white Santa to see why she fits in at FOX.
Oh okay, I only see her when she is interviewing people pertaining to Trump.
Oh ok makes sense.

Walker isn't welcome back in Wisconsin so he just bums couches at all of the cable networks.
Tbh I dunno if it will be remembered at all a week from now. Trump campaign lying happens too often to be a story.

Anybody who didn't see a monsoon of the most obvious fact-checking possible on the horizon by the 30 minute mark of last night's debate either has no sense or works for Fox News

I scored the debate pretty evenly. Here are my 3 main takeaways:
1.) Pence is a cool, calm, and collected politician who felt right at home on the debate stage. Kaine on the other hand came off as anxious, jittery, fumbling, perhaps nervous.
2.) Kaine had a pump-action shotgun loaded with Trumpshot shells that he kept blasting Pence with all night long. Comments on Mexicans, women, nukes, tax returns, etc. that Pence had no answers for. Pence tried his best to duck and weave, but these shots landed clean. The combined effect of these shots clearly showed that Trump is not even remotely qualified to be President.
3.) Lastly, I couldn't help but watch Pence on the debate stage and think to myself "I bet the Republicans are shitting themselves right now that they didn't nominate Pence for President". Pence is CLEARLY the superior Presidential candidate over Trump from a qualification standpoint, and would most likely poll much better than Trump as well. Pence had a tough time trying to defend Trump's bullshit, and Kaine called him out for it numerous times saying basically "how can you sit up here and defend those comments". Pence is smarter than this, and honestly should have never accepted the VP nod.

They had fifteen Pencealikes they could have chosen, they went with the loud racist moron.
They made their bed.

They had their chance. That chance's name was Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is extreme, just like Pence, but he knows how to be tactful, and won't go on tirades like Trump.
