Isn’t pretty much everybody and their mothers simulcasting it, complete with one-hour pre-show? I know CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox (both the network and Fox News) are, and C-SPAN will probably have a call-in segment before the debate itself begins. ---

Yup. Plus coverage on affiliated streaming platforms like YouTube, Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+ Between broadcast TV, cable TV, and the internet, there will be very few people across the country who will have absolutely no access to any of the possibly methods to watch the debate. ---

Kamala’s experience is as a prosecutor. That should help a LOT. However, the moderators won’t act like a judge would and shut the ‘defense’ up when they act out. Hell, judges don’t act like judges when Trump is around. It’s a very, very strange thing. ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > @Cervaise’s suggestion to add a post number to the thread title for ease of finding where the discussion starts is a great one Agreed! I’ll be trying to watch… it’s just that Donald’s voice, and lies, are just fingernails on a blackboard to me. So, Kamala (I know you’re reading this), if you could make him squirm every time you call him out, and maybe get him blubbering and begging the moderator to stop the debate, that’d help me a lot. ---

> [@wolfpup](#): > > No successful snake-oil salesman who’s been accused of deception and fraud has ever, in the history of snake-oil sales, been goaded into an unplanned rant in front of his marks. I would argue that this _has_ happened, and it happened in front of the National Association of Black Journalists. The issue isn’t that he can’t be goaded into losing his cool and making an ass of himself, the issue is that it doesn’t seem to hurt him much because rants, rudeness, insults, non sequiturs, gibberish, that’s all part of his brand already. ---

Well, Trump has arrived in Philadelphia. CNN has been showing his aircraft taxiing to the apron and parking. I guess Harris is there already? ---
