I've got class until 6:30(PST) tomorrow, and then it takes about an hour to get home from this class.
I've got the debate set to PVR though, so I'll just have to keep myself on blackout, and then after like a 13-hour day watch the debate. That won't end up sucking at all I'm sure.

I just remembered that to listen to the debate would mean listening to Trump speak, and his cadence/way of speaking make me wanna take a nail-gun to my head.
I made a decision about a year ago that I would never actually watch footage of Trump speaking if it is within my power to avoid it, and I have held firm to that, and tomorrow will be no different
People making protest votes are ridiculous, vote for Hilary to protest the inexperienced dolts that are the 3rd party candidates if you're going to protest vote

I figure I can basically peace out of uk politics until after the next election when corbyn loses. Nothing is changing until then.
I dislike Corbyn with an intensity that I never thought I could muster for a politician in a country that I do not live in
his supporters defend him with a fervor that seems pretty surprising, given how he (at least, from my admittedly underinformed perspective) seems to be terrible at actually getting things done or managing his party
Imagine if we had actually put Bernie Sanders in charge of the Democratic Party.

Prediction: tomorrow will be the first time that the Youtube live comments for a political event won't be that far off in tone from the actual content of the event.
edit: oh, I mean "later today". Stayed up too late again.
So it looks like at Obama's nadir of the election season (which happened in October) he was pretty close to how Clinton is now. It looks like, weirdly, the VP debates were the closest event I can find to that nadir. Considering that he was a much more popular candidate, this actually bodes pretty well in my opinion. It shows that big swings aren't the end of the world. By the night of the election, he was at a ninety percent chance to win on Silver's projections: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/fivethirtyeights-2012-forecast/?_r=0
Notably however, at this point Obama had a comfortable lead which tightened later. Personally, I don't see Trump getting any huge boosts to his popularity, his increases seem to be gradual as people essentially forget what a prick he is. If Hilary doesn't hit a black swan sometime in November I'm feeling pretty good at the moment, and for my money the chances of Trump hitting a major scandal are much higher.
Anyway, people still need to work if they can, but the sky isn't necessarily falling. There was a time when we all that Romney had it in the bag.
I think it's definitely good for Hilary to have figured out the limits of how hard she can attack on that while there's still time to forget the mistake.
Honestly the biggest potential for fuckups from both of them is the debates. That was pretty clearly the start of major problems for Obama. Again though, I think it's more likely that Trump will fuck up than that Hilary will, but it's very up in the air. He's unorthodox, and a woman has such a litany of criteria for being seen as a failure. "she's too bossy" "she's frosty" etc.
Honestly one of the best scenarios is that he thinks he has some clever fucking idea for a stunt, like the famous finger wagging event in the Clinton Senate race, and totally fucks it up. He is not known for having good intuition as to how things will come across, and this is the longest he's going to be off the autocue for weeks. Clinton, conversely? Known for being overcautious if anything, but can reliably be off the autocue without seriously fucking up.

I don't think I'd have the stomach to sit through the debate tomorrow
I'm sure I'll just barely be able to stomach the condensed snippets I hear after the fact
I've got the debate set to PVR though, so I'll just have to keep myself on blackout, and then after like a 13-hour day watch the debate. That won't end up sucking at all I'm sure.
Hillary will have run several mock debates containing that exact situation and prepared her mongoose-dispensers accordingly.

I am sorely disappointed in all of you

thanks to you, conversations about Trump are now conversations about Brimping

that's probably going to be the biggest mistake of the whole thing
