Tomorrow's Debate.... How will you watch/listen/cope or are you feeling less stressed than me? [View all]

I will admit that I am stressing quite a bit about tomorrow's debate. While I have a lot of confidence in Hillary Clinton and her abilities, as a woman of a certain age who has had to deal with the occasional (fortunately fairly rare) boorish, self-entitled misogynist--with varied success--I know how hard it is. I also know how those watching may give incredible scrutiny to the woman's reaction while giving unbelievable latitude to even the worst behavior by the man. Add to this the low expectations that might well work to Trump's favor, if, perchance, he is able to carry off a more dignified, low key presentation--even while deflecting questions left and right... well I am uneasy.

So, knowing this, I realize I could only watch live on tv, while imbibing rather heavily to contain my stress--which frankly I don't feel like doing the night before a very long workday. So, I've decided the best thing is to listen only via NPR on the radio while I do a fairly intense fitness walk with the dog, weather amenable, or on the treadmill, if not. I figure I can watch video later once I know what to expect...

So, how are others feeling-- excited, concerned, positive, hesitant, incredibly confident or some other combination of emotions? Will you watch? Will you turn off the sound? Will you only listen?
