Biden-Trump Debate

I intend to watch for a number of reasons. Determining who I'll vote for is not one of them.

I will watch even though I can barely stand even the sound of Trump's voice any longer. And I can't imagine anyone could still be undecided on who they are voting for!?

I still wish Judge Judy would be the moderator.
Yes, it promises to be quite a show
I should, but I just can't. I tend to consider it a civic duty to watch things like the State of the Union and Presidential debates during election cycles. But I just can't. Clinton's recent warning explains why:
www.nytimes.com
"It is a waste of time to try to refute Mr. Trump’s arguments like in a normal debate. It’s nearly impossible to identify what his arguments even are. He starts with nonsense and then digresses into blather. This has gotten only worse in the years since we debated. I was not surprised that after a recent meeting, several chief executives said that Mr. Trump, as one journalist described it, “could not keep a straight thought” and was “all over the map.” Yet expectations for him are so low that if he doesn’t literally light himself on fire on Thursday evening, some will say he was downright presidential."

Going head-to-head with the former president is like juggling nonsense, blather and bluster.
In short, it won't be a debate. I like watching debates, but this will not be a debate. And while I wouldn't have to watch that monster doing the creepy sexual predator stalker routine on Biden since he's a man, I still remember that moment from Clinton's debate. How anyone - especially women - can vote for a convicted rapist is just... what.
To be honest, I'm curious to see how well the moderators handle the situation. (I suspect that CNN has a lot on the line.)

She is more obnoxious and arrogant than Trump.

Yes, I will watch it, and no, there is no way that it will change my vote. We already know how bad Trump is. Even if Trump showed that Biden was a vegetable we still know who is more harmful to the US.
Yes I will watch. Will it influence my vote? No

I don't think people are watching to decide who to vote for. They want to see if their guy does a better job and the other guy looks like an idiot.

They need Michael Buffer to start it off

But they have agreed to no audience and microphones being cut off by the clock! I have my mute button all ready for when my nerves get frayed.

But they are trying to hold this one with tighter reins. No audience and the moderators control the mics to coincide with the clock. It might just be worth the watch. I hadn't planned on watching until I saw the changes agreed to by both parties. I don't get CNN, so my fingers are crossed that Scripps or PBS will air.I should, but I just can't.
