Debates are little more than performances and Joe completely shit the bed.
This. Debates mattered 20+ years ago, when Candidates had just a few opportunities to talk about who they are, what they've done, what they want to do, and why those qualities make them the best choice for President.
Now, we have a near inescapable connection to politics. The content of the message is known, and the only reason for debate is confrontation, and delivery is all that matters.
tbf, debates have the potential to cut through the bubbles people put themselves in. You're not seeing a manacured presentation of potential policy, you're seeing it actively challenged...
At least, that's the idea
