and know how to find a recording of a debate if they happened to want to go to a movie or a play on a given night when a debate was happening.

Anyone who is a "real" Republican isn't going to vote for a Democrat. Any of 'em. So put that card away. And since our team doesn't engage in hair pulling and shit flinging, our offerings are "boring."

As for independents, if they want information, and they're so stupid that they can't figure out how to go to ABC.com and pull up the video, well, they deserve to stew in their stupidity. For the record, I don't think THEY are stupid either--I'll bet they have the skills to find a recording of the debate, either by pressing ON DEMAND on their remote, or by picking up their laptop, tablet or smartphone and punching a few buttons.

This is the 21st Century. We don't have to "gather around the box at a set time" anymore.

smh.
