ABC’s commentators donned what appeared to be sports headsets and spoke like they were commenting on a golf match before Saturday night’s debate even started. George Stephanopoulos kicked off the pre-analysis by noting that “stakes are high” during tonight’s debate, the third for the Democrats.

.@GStephanopoulos thinks the stakes are high tonight for the #DemDebate. Are they, George? Are the stakes really high? #hillarycoronation

"Stakes are high!" per @GStephanopoulos. I think not.

"Stakes are high" (so high they buried this debate on the Saturday before Xmas w/no promotion) #DemDebate

Still waiting for a debate intro saying "stakes are low…" #DemDebate

Stakes are high, and interest is higher.
Press viewing room at #DemDebate looks virtually empty.

Watching the #DemDebate is like watching WWE. The fighting is fake and the winner is preselected. @cvpayne @instapundit @AHMalcolm

What’s this? A second set of ads? Scratch that — a third?
Tonight’s debate is never going to happen.

The #DemDebate will start sometime before N.H. votes in the primary, possibly even by 8:30 p.m. tonight.
