In reply to the discussion: Oh, for fuck's sake, people. [View all]KPN
(17,374 posts)24. My comments have nothing to do with who I thought
did better or who I will vote for. I didnt see the debate, but listened to about 20 minutes of it on the radio while on the road. What I heard caused me to be concerned about impact on undecided and potential stay at home voters.
When i got home, the debate was over. I went to the DU debate thread and learned overwhelmingly that my reaction and concerns were not unfounded -- not by a long shot.
Paint a pretty picture if you like. But realistically, there is good reason to be concerned. I like Joe and have said many times here at DU that hes the best President of my 73 year lifetime. That is exactly why I personally am very concerned. So please dont try to tell me my concern is off base.

I was on a phone banking team for Obama in 2012. We watched that debate together.

A bold and honest post. Now, the question is, what will cause people to go to the polls in November.

You need to watch the focus groups to understand why I am perhaps less concerned than you are

Presidents do not quit!!! Nixon was the only one. He did it to avoid being impeached.
