Heard some good advice on how to watch the debates.

1. Stay away from social media.
2. Don't watch the commercials. Get up and walk around whenever there is a break.
3. Don't listen to commentary before or after the debate. Give yourself a chance to absorb what you just heard.

Just someone's two cents that I'm passing along. Here's hoping we get a good discussions about the issues tonight.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

It reminded me of DU on election night 2016. Just a glitch I guess.

Many of the pundits make me want to throw something at my monitor. My hubby wouldn't be very happy if he had to replace it.
