Am I the only one not watching the GOP convention?

[BainsBane]

I watched about 2 minutes of Pense last night and heard a few minutes of Cruz and one of the Trump kids while driving in the car, but I just can't bear to watch it. I don't find Republicans interesting or entertaining, and I certainly wouldn't consider voting for any of them. Others here seem to either enjoy it or find it important to keep themselves informed on what Trump and company are saying, beyond the coverage in the press. I just don't feel it's a worthwhile use of my time, and I find them unbearable. Am I missing out?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I'm not; I'm getting updates from DU.

I just don't have the stomach to watch Orange Foolius and the rest of those haters and nitwits.

[BainsBane]

3. My feeling exactly

[niyad]

22. orange foolius!! you nearly owed me a keyboard!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

39. I didn't invent it, but I sure like it.

[niyad]

40. between that, and tangerine tyrant, I have been smiling for some time now. LOVE our

very creative and inventive du'ers.

[monmouth4]

2. I'm watching Jack Ryan, switched over during break and I think the teleprompters are not working..L

[BainsBane]

7. I stream my TV

so it takes some effort to watch anything. Republicans don't motivate me to make that effort.

Mr. Robot, however, is another matter. I hope to find it online tonight.

[monmouth4]

25. Whoooo, "Dog Day" is on...n/t

[dflprincess]

4. I'm watching "Law & Order" reruns.

Like Colbert said, Trump is right, this program needs to be restored.

[SheriffBob]

17. me too

law and order rocks.

[redstateblues]

32. LOL. I love that show.

[meow2u3]

5. I'm not either

I'm tuned into DU for updates. I just don't have the stomach to watch a real life "Lord of the Flies" with the Tangerine Tyrant ranting and raving like the maniac he is.

[helpisontheway]

6. I'm not watching it

I don't feel like hearing them talk about how amazing Trump did if he completes a sentence. SMH So I'm watching Big Brother and relying on DU for updates.

[Her Sister]

8. I watched the 1st night! It was just too awful, ugly and hateful!

Saw enough! Got the idea! Had to move on...

[abbeyco]

9. I'm planting flowers and purposely NOT participating in ratings for this tool /eom

[benld74]

10. Rite next to you BainesBane

[NWCorona]

11. I thought I would be all up in there with my popcorn bag but quickly lost interest.

To much cringe for my taste. I will try and see what Trump has to say but I'm doubtful.

[doc03]

12. I just got back from fishing and would rather walk on hot coals than

watch fucking Trump.

[wcmagumba]

13. Rerun of....

"This is Spinal Tap" kind of fitting...fake reality show (well, they are all fake).

[redstateblues]

31. One of the top five movies ever. Turn it up to 11!

[nruthie]

14. I'm not watching their freak show.

I don't enjoy watching deranged demogauges spewing venom. I don't need to watch the man; I know what he is.

[Agnosticsherbet]

15. I'm not.

[Lefthacker]

16. You're not alone

I'm pounding golf balls. Hitting balls in a fit of rage is not very ideal but it beats watching the hate fest.

[niyad]

23. welcome to du

[bigwillq]

18. I'm not watching.

I watch news clips and read DU, like I have been doing.

[librarylu]

19. I don't have TV

but I can stream stuff, like CBS live. I deleted Newsy when they showed that horrid campaign ad with the graveyard ("Benghazi&quot . I tried CBS long enough to see a reporter ask one of the walkouts if he would vote for Hillary. I flipped it off at one word ("Benghazi&quot .

I've been watching documentaries and reading DU instead.

[niyad]

20. neither am I. sitting at computer dealing with intelligent and sane people.

(the neighbors get upset when I start screaming at the idiot tube, so i have to be nice)

[TreasonousBastard]

21. Just got in from a party...

Good people, house on LI Sound with great views, good food and drink...

And, honest to God, not one word about politics.

[book_worm]

24. I'm not watching either--getting my news from DU

[Squinch]

26. A friend had some neighbors over for dinner

and to watch the speeches after. They vote Democratic but "want to be informed." The dinner was lovely. The conversation was lovely. Then the TV went on and I lasted 15 minutes before I had to leave.

Am I rude?

[stopbush]

27. Not I. At age 61, I've heard too much hatred expressed during my life.

I really don't have time for it these days.

[redstateblues]

28. Can't take it. I'll tune in after its done. Makes me ill.

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. Did you draw the short straw tonight?

[BainsBane]

38. What is that supposed to mean?

[3catwoman3]

30. I am not watching either.

Simply cannot make myself. I can watch gory episodes of Gray's Anatomy while eating dinner, and not turn a hair, but Trump makes me want to hurl.

[GP6971]

33. Not at all

As usual, I check DU for updates

[timlot]

34. I'm not watching either. Couple glances then back to watching Botched.

I like to check out the commentary at the end though.

[muntrv]

35. Nope. I am watching "Barney Miller" reruns on Antenna TV.

[DesertFlower]

36. i just put it on. i want to hear what

don the con has to say.

[ibegurpard]

37. nope

Couldn't torture me into watching it

[maryellen99]

41. Nope don't need or want my blood pressure to rise

Plus I'm stressed out due to the fact that my husband was diagnosed with Cancer last week.

[NYFlip]

42. I'm not

I'm reading DU
