It has been interesting, as well as educational, to see how the last two presidential debates impacted the political landscape. The first debate resulted in Biden's political retirement. We're still seeing fallout from the second debate and may need to await further polling and/or analysis to see the full impact of it.
My point: This presidential election cycle may prove to be one wherein debates substantially & significantly changed the outcome of U.S. presidential history.

As they should! The debates can (and should) cast the players in a different realm. They are not in full control and are expected to "think on their feet" and demonstrate their mastery of the issues that they will have to deal with. So far these events have not always lived up to those expectations, however an insightful result might be found in how poorly they answer.My point: This presidential election cycle may prove to be one wherein debates substantially & significantly changed the outcome of U.S. presidential history.

Exactamundo.
This election cycle, the focus has been about who lost the debate, and the impact of what that loss entails. Simply put, I like it. It means the Press and our fellow Americans are paying attention to Presidential debates. It's a healthy process I hope to see occur each election cycle.
