I'm sure Warren will be a standout again.

I hope so,  I want her to distance herself from Bernie a bit.  I'm not sure how she's going to accomplish that however.

I think it will be because of her demeanor. She's just better at not being frazzled/shouty.

As much as I hate optics vs substance.

Not gonna lie, can’t wait to hear what Williamson has to say tonight

[notblanche]

Oh it starts at 8! I might actually stay awake. 9 was way too late.

[milano]

I'm hoping to watch tonight, I'll be at my MIL's. Tomorrow night I'll be in NYC and we have dinner reservations, anyone have a suggestion on how I could watch it after the fact? Would it be on the internet? I'm going to DVR both nights at home but I don't want to wait until next week to watch.

[milano]

They're 3 hours long this round? Damn it why couldn't they be next week when I'm home with nothing scheduled. I hate hearing/ reading any analysis until I've watched myself.

[roloma]

I don't have cable. I wonder if it will be streaming online at CNN where I can watch without a login...

I am traveling tomorrow for work and will be in a hotel so that's covered, at least.

[jaygee]

I’m so excited! Debates are my version of the super bowl. My dilemma is how to get my family to leave me alone.

What's your snack line up?

[lemondrop]

I want to hear from Amy and Liz, and to a semi- lesser extent, Pete. Everyone else can go sit down and await their cabinet nominations. Except for Marianne, who will probably run off to search under a bridge or something for rainbows and leprechauns. And Bernie, who will just be off old man yelling into the void.

Oh I had forgotten about her already. I'm still baffled as to how she reached the unique donor threshold.

[Ls2012]

We're going to the beach tonight after dinner, so I'm going to miss maybe the first hour. Sorry in advance for the barrage of post-liking I'll probably do.

Like others, I'm really hoping to see Liz do well and distinguish herself from Bernie.

Apparently Alyssa Milano interviewed her and called her Gallileo????

I immediately thought of you when I read that. 😁

I saw an interview with her on one of the Sunday shows (FTN I think?) And TBH I didn't hate her. I mean she's no POTUS, but she's smart and has some worthwhile ideas and could be an adviser to the President.

CNN is offering free streaming on their apps and site without a login and the debates will be available on demand within 24 hours

I'll be in late tonight. My kids go down between 8 and 8:30 EST. Hopefuly I don't miss too much.

A+ gif usage! I just finished this series.

[jaygee]

I’ll be in the car for the start but can listen via TuneIn.

[elle]

I'm here and ready to go even though it starts so early here on the West Coast. Will have a toddler dancing around the living room trying to get me to play with her, but I'm determined not to let her distract me this time. 😂

We shall see whose will is stronger.

[tater]

I’ve set the kid up with an early dinner. MH is grilling pita pizzas. I’ve bought myself time.

[sweetpea]

I’m here and kidfree for a hour. There’s my Anderson 😍

[dc2london]

ok wow it's 8:02 and I already hate CNN's coverage

[elle]

And my H agreed to go grab Thai takeout later. I'm so ready. For the debate and the food.

I swear they're intro-ing a wrestling matchup.

so many sound bites

[oreobitsy]

I'm here, called in the Dad dinner after a long day of kid shenanigans.

Hoping for a good Warren, Pete, and possibly Amy. Curious about why Hickenlooper is still there along with Veto.

how very DARE you use Fleabag against me.

Anyway my point was that she was slightly less batshit than during the debate.
