How many here absolutely refused to watch the repuke mud wrasslin' contest tonight?

[Elwood P Dowd]

I simply cannot handle that many lowlifes on TV at once.

[steve2470]

1. me, but I'm grateful to DU'ers who did the live-action commentary nt

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

46. I as well... don't have the stomach for it... I'd rather get my teeth drilled.

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. me - we are in Sopranos season 5 - our third full run through.

Our TV hasn't been used as a TV for 8 years now. Just a place to show movies!

[JDPriestly]

37. Same here!

[zentrum]

40. Same here.

Watch the Dem debates at watch parties.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

3. How should I put this? If the choice were between watching those jagoffs or practicing amateur

acupuncture on my balls. I guess I'll be in pain for a while.

[narnian60]

53. Ouch.

[valerief]

4. I did it once. Never again. So I, too, refused to watch tonight. Instead, I watched the film

CBGB on Netflix.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. It is not refusal. Was too late for it

spent all day watching council.

One of the stories will have to wait for the morning. It was a historic vote, but 4 hours of tape to find quotes... it's late.

[cally]

6. Refused

I don't need to hear the hate and idiocy. I will read summaries. I watched Rachel Maddow.

[Archae]

7. Right here.

Taped "Childhood's End" on SyFy, put on light classical music channel.

[spanone]

8. won't be a part of it.

[MADem]

9. I couldn't NOT watch it--and it was everything I hoped for...and MORE!!!

When they started screeching and whining like a bunch of tattle tale pre-schoolers fighting over the last Hydrox cookie, I had to just LAUGH!!!

And they did it more than once!!!!

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. I gave up things that make me projectile vomit years ago......

I am reading a book titled Rust.
It is amazingly interesting.

Esp. compared to the debates.

[doc03]

11. Watched Alfred Hitchcock reruns on Netflix n/t

[kimbutgar]

12. I posted earlier refused to watch the hate, venom and lies.

[kestrel91316]

13. I never watch republican debates. They have nothing to say that

I agree with.

[Jamastiene]

14. I have not watched any of the Republican debates.

I have no plans to watch any of them either. I already know I don't want any of them as president. Their records speak for them and their records and their comments are atrocious.

[2naSalit]

15. I must confess...

I was NOT going to watch as I have refrained all the other childish shouting matches, but my friend wanted to try watching and wanted me to join him since we have very long, in depth political conversation regularly. But we had to have alcohol to get through it.

After all of that, I wish I had stayed home. Not only do I not do alcohol well, I have a headache now too.

[Triana]

16. They'd have to pay ME to watch that crap.

No way I'm going to subject myself to hours of false proclamations from a bunch of ignorant, dangerous, fascist clowns.

[NastyRiffraff]

17. I'm waiting for the grownup debate Sat night

Tonight, I watched an old favorite British TV series: Auf Wiedersehn, Pet. A comedy, but muchmore intelligent than the circus on CNN.

[Populist_Prole]

18. It was on the breakroom TV at work

I had to endure it only as long as it took me to microwave my dinner. eat it hurriedly, and passing through in/out a few times. It was brutal to endure.

All I remember it was just a lot of pontificating blowhards falling over themselves to sound like who is the biggest warmonger. Isis this, Isis that. Poor Israel.

Did they actually talk about anything else?

[Martin Eden]

19. The mindset we must defeat was on display

Know thy enemy.

Nevertheless, I did not choose to watch it (the wife controlled the remote while I perused the internets).

Rand Paul was the only relatively sane voice on foreign policy (which highlights the insanity of the group as a whole).

[IsItJustMe]

20. I felt no need to watch it.

I know what they all stand for, and it ain't good.

[newfie11]

21. Not enough blood pressure pills in the state for me to watch it. Nt

[Binkie The Clown]

22. Oh, was that tonight? Sorry, I had laundry to do. n/t

[akbacchus_BC]

23. I looked for a few minutes, they are disgusting! If that is what the republicans have to offer,

I bet a Dem will get elected, be it Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Sanders.

Those fools look like pricks on steroids! That is how I feel. Hope am not insulting anyone on here!

[Cracklin Charlie]

24. I watched a bit with my husband.

I was actually surprised to hear Donald Trump (about Iraq) and Rand Paul (absolutely shredded Christie about Putin) make a couple of statements that I agreed with.

We laughed our asses off at the rest of it, though. I swear, you could put all those Republican candidates through a blender, and mash 'em all up together, and still not fashion one decent candidate.

[951-Riverside]

25. I watched it, atleast the GOP are not afraid to take each other on. I'm sorry but the democratic...

debates have been sooooo boring and there is no variety whatsoever.

What makes it worse is that they are so afraid to confront each other on issues because they think its more important to appear to be united against repukes.

[hopemountain]

43. democrats understand respect

and instead, push their agendas, rather than attack one another with idiocy, strut and puff out their chests and act like clowns.

[3catwoman3]

26. Each time, I have told myself I would watch, in order...

...to be informed. Each time, I have been unable to make myself tune in. Ted Cruz's nasal whine is off-putting enough, all by itself.

Instead, I thoroughly enjoyed myself watching re-runs of Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue on the newly discovered H&I channel.

[whathehell]

27. Never watch them. n/t

[Old Codger]

28. ME Me Me

Never not on a bet...

[B Calm]

29. Could care less, I watched the Voice.

[Lochloosa]

49. I was pulling for Emily Ann...but Jordan...damn what a voice.

[B Calm]

55. Emily Ann was my favorite too. One day soon we'll be saying she got

her start on the Voice. Dolly really liked her!

I also liked Amy and Matti.

[Lochloosa]

58. we have similar taste. My top picks also.

[rusty quoin]

30. There was no way I would watch. I'm not a wonk and leave it up to them.

[Crunchy Frog]

31. Here. n/t

[SandersDem]

32. Political Junkie and I just can't take it anymore...

blowing through channels, I stopped for one moment to watch Fiorina blatantly lie. Moved on.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

33. Yo.

Doesn't help my BP any.

[LibDemAlways]

34. Zero interest in looking at and listening to a bunch of scumbags.

Life is stressful enough.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

35. Assholes spewing shit? I'm not into toilet cams.

[JDPriestly]

36. I had better things to do. It's almost Christmas!

[still_one]

38. you could not pay me enough money to watch that garbage

[vlakitti]

39. Thanks.

Great thread. Imaginative and totally to the point. Sort of like the Sarah P. interview of years ago where there is some guy killing turkeys in the background while she's babbling on..

[hopemountain]

41. couldn't stomach it nor msnbc, either

i got my fill of assholes earlier today on c-span listening to the senate floor speeches by idiot republicans justifying their riders on the budget bill. pure evil.

[SeattleVet]

42. I'll admit that I watched a little at the beginning...

but I turned it off when I realized that I didn't have nearly enough alcohol in the house to be able to get me through the whole thing.

[JustAnotherGen]

44. I wouldn't say I refused

I just find them boring.

Give me a noun, give me a verb, give me -

A 911!
A Welfare Queen!
A Benghazi!
A million troops on the ground in Iran!

Because . . .


Americaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[NutmegYankee]

45. I sure didn't.

Though even if I had wanted to, I don't have cable so no CNN.

[lapfog_1]

47. I haven't watched a single repuke debate

And I turn the sound off on my TV when the news people start talking about it.

The repukes have had absolutely nothing to say to me, no ideas worthy of my time.

[olddots]

48. I binge watched anti depressant ads instead

Ask your doc5or if drug dependency is for you .

[LiberalElite]

50. I skipped it- and I'm not watching the GMA coverage now. I

cannot stomach any of these freaks. How they're treated as serious contenders for anything is beyond me.

BTW, O'REILLY is being interviewed by Stephanopolous on Good Morning America now re: Trump. YECCH

[liberal N proud]

51. Not necessary to watch

I don't listen to liars.
I know their message isn't going to change.
I will be bombarded with clips over the next few days.

And any real crazy statements will be available in multiple places.

[madokie]

52. I simply had much better things to do

like go to bed and get some rest.

[msrizzo]

54. Didn't watch

And I have no regrets.

[ProfessorGAC]

56. I Wouldn't Have Watched At Gunpoint

It's not like i didn't know what they were all going to say, anyway.

Obama, bad.
Taxes, too high.
ISIS, scary.
"I'll be a tough guy in foreign affairs"
"Let's make america great again" (When they're the reason why we're in decline.)

Same song. Different day.

[bigwillq]

57. I rarely watch debates. Of course I skipped this one.

I had a day off. Wasn't about to sit home and watch TV. Did some shopping, went to dinner and then out for drinks.

[wildeyed]

59. Always.

Know thine enemy. Plus it's fun to point and laugh at them on Twitter.

[Greybnk48]

60. I watched a movie instead.

I didn't want to add to the ratings.

[bigwillq]

63. What movie? (nt)

[Greybnk48]

71. Taking Lives (2004)

Angelina Jolie, Ethan Hawke, Kiefer Sutherland. It was pretty good, especially for a movie neither of us had heard of, and I KNOW it was better than watching the debate buffoonery.

[backscatter712]

61. I already know I'm not voting for any of those assclowns. n/t

[LiberalEsto]

62. I have a weak stomach

and there's not enough Kaopectate in the world to get me through it

[cwydro]

64. I couldn't watch it.

Even watching the recaps has sickened me.

[moondust]

65. Never watch it.

And now tonight is "analysis night" of what happened last night and not interested in that either. Glad to have a Roku and some foreign stations at times like this!

[jwirr]

66. Me

[Waldorf]

67. Didn't watch any of it. It was NCIS night, with new episodes.

[X_Digger]

68. I didn't watch it, I didn't read any transcripts..

It's a pack of idiots on stage, strutting around like goddamned peacocks.

If I want to see peacocks, I'll go to the zoo.

[Ilsa]

69. Me too.

[quaker bill]

70. I have an allergy to bad ideas

I can't and won't expose myself intentionally
