Will Hillary get another excellent debate bump?

[MADem]

29. Yes, because forcing people to watch something Right Effing NOW!!!!! is so "Democratic."

EAT YOUR PEAS!!! If ONLY the debates were held at HALF TIME during the football game, why, EVERYONE would watch (errrr, no, they wouldn't--they'd be out on the back deck smoking weed and drinking beer).

People are not as stupid or in need of spoon-feeding as you seem to believe. The material will BE THERE--for people to see when they WANT to see it. Not when YOU want them to sit down, like good little party members, and listen to what's 'good' for them.

There's nothing "un-democratic" about pushing the button on your remote and watching something ON DEMAND as opposed to LIVE. And that IS what you seem to be going on about.

I guess--since you apparently 'care' so much about "democratic processes"-- you're going to go To The Barricades on behalf of all those Iowa voters who are "un-democratically" excluded from their caucus opportunity, too--eh?

All those doctors, nurses, cab drivers, babysitters, convenience store workers, people who are working the late shift in retail, gas station attendants...all those people who aren't farmers after the harvest, who do shift work or have to work late--where are your tears and concerns for them?

You know, those people can't click on the computer, or push that button on the remote, and recall their "caucus" to do at their convenience. They only get one crack, and if they have to work, well, it really IS an Eff Them Moment, now, isn't it?

Pretending that Not Watching A TV Program LIVE is an abrogation of democracy? That's just pathetic--embarrassingly so, too.

If you really gave a crap, why aren't you out there beating the bushes, and trying to persuade people to watch the show, instead of coming here and pretending that video recording devices, ON DEMAND, and computers (go to abc.com and pull it up, and some folks will put it on YOUTUBE as well, no doubt) do not exist.

Or better still, if you really give a shit about "democracy"--why aren't you advocating for the abolishment of the Iowa caucuses? And universal registration? And mail in ballots? Anything, other than this 'faux issue' that isn't an issue at all?

Look--even advocates will tell you. The Democratic candidates are boring as shit. They don't hit below the belt, they don't pull hair, and they don't shit-fling. And the differences between them are minimal--what people are voting on are things like experience, networking strength, and personal likes.

The only thing that will "make" people tune in is a Cage Match--not people whining and crying about "unfair bad time to air debate WAAH."

We don't HAVE a Trump. And to my mind, that's a good thing.

smh.
