How many people here are going to watch the presidential debates?

Poll - Total Votes: 12
I will be watching the debates, because that's much more important to me than sports.
I'll be watching the football games, because sports is more important to me than politics.
I won't be watching either, because I don't care about sports or politics.
I won't be able to watch either, because I have other things going on.

I understand that two of the Presidential debates are scheduled on the same nights as National Football League games. So which will be a higher priority for you? Sports, or politics?

I'm not a sports fan myself, but even if I were, I would make it a much higher priority to watch the debates.

Here is the debate schedule:

Monday, September 26, 2016 - First presidential debate
Tuesday, October 4, 2016 - Vice presidential debate
Sunday, October 9, 2016 - Second presidential debate
Wednesday, October 19, 2016 - Third presidential debate

The debates will air from:

9:00 - 10:30 PM Eastern Time
8:00 - 9:30 PM Central Time
7:00 - 8:30 PM Mountain Time
6:00 - 7:30 PM Pacific Time

on all of these dates.

Although these dates were scheduled long before the football games were scheduled, I can't help wondering if Hillary and her fans are hoping that more people will want to watch football, as Hillary appears to be in poor health these days and may not be able to handle the stress of these debates. But if she can't handle the stress of these debates, how can she expect to be able to handle the stress of being president? That must be one of the most stressful jobs, if not the most stressful job, in the world. I can hardly wait to see how these debates play out. It should be very interesting.

How many lies will Hillary tell when Trump presses her with the questions Hillary has refused to allow the media to ask her

My boyfriend recently told me that he has noticed that every time Hillary lies, she coughs. I haven't watched Hillary speak enough to pick up on this, but I'll be watching to see how many times she coughs during the debates, and what she's saying when she coughs. The body doesn't like it when we lie, so there's always some kind of physiological reaction that happens.
