I stayed on the thread, because the anti-Trumpers were trying to get in the last word about POTUS' "poor performance". Too bad there isn't an eject button on Free Republic. Next time Trump Family Train needs to derail them on the live thread.
I stayed on it too, lots of wailing and gnashing teeth.
In addition to an eject button I wish that Freerepublic had a way of being able to know who is posting before you read a post. There are several people that I already knew about whose posts I try never to read. The thread on last nights debate had so many people that I had never seen before and whose posts I chose not to read either.
