Is anyone watching the debates tonight and tomorrow?

Could you call to check to see if they will have it on?

I suppose. I'm not even sure if they have a TV -- I stopped in to make an appointment but didn't notice any (though I wasn't looking for one). 

 

I just checked the interior 360 view on Google and it looks like back in September 2018 there wasn't one. 

 

Back on topic (ish): I am really of two minds about my voting. Should I vote my conscience or vote tactically? I think tomorrow will be the first real test for Bloomberg. Beyond whatever attacks he may have to fend off from the others, he's also got to not suck too much. Biden has managed to limp along by being sufficiently mediocre -- he's sucked, but he's still got a few "Uncle Joe" moments in him that resonate in me despite how I feel about him as a candidate. Bloomberg has... what exactly? Money and "I'm not Trump"? Blah.

Always vote your conscience, forget everything else. When I voted yesterday I voted for I know two candidates (Governor and Congress) that I know (more likely than not) won't win. But I still voted for them anyway because I like their platform and I wanted to upset the status quo.....

 

Also are you using the Dry bar and do they serve alcohol?

That's what Alex told me. He said basically, you have spent the past year talking to me about who you like and don't like, and you like two of the people left in the race enough to vote for them. I know which one you prefer. Don't sacrifice what you believe in for what's politically expedient. 

 

Of course, you know my heart still beats for my girl Kamala though.

Whatever.... I think she has reached her peak tbh with you. That is unless a Democrat comes in office and she becomes AJ.

Of course she's out of the race, so I won't be voting for her. I think she would be a good AG, but here's a weird thought I had, though it's probably a step down for her -- what about solicitor general? She's really good at arguing. As AG, there's so much grandstanding. I think she prefers the fight. But what do I know?

Some interesting reading vis a vis Bloomberg for his past debate performances: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/bloomberg-making-his-debate-debut-his-past-face-offs-may-n1135216 I wonder which Mike we'll get tomorrow night?

 

I also saw that the latest polling shows Sanders very much leading the pack going into Nevada: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/nbc-news-wsj-poll-sanders-opens-double-digit-national-lead-n1138191 Biden looks like he's pretty much toast now, unless he gets a miracle in South Carolina.

Rearranged my hair appointment for Friday morning.  So I'll be joining @Cyberfx1024 in a few adult beverages during the debate tonight.

Mini Mike seems to be the focus of attention.

[laylalex 7,289]

Mike Bloomberg looks even worse than I expected. Warren's line about "I've been nice to some women" was good. I lol'd.  

 

What are we drinking?

Costco

Shhhhhhh mine too.  When I rented the BMW the other weekend we went to Costco and stocked up on a bunch of stuff. Booze was purchased along with loo roll and paper towels and Ziploc freezer bags.
