"#Debates Don't Matter" is an oversimplification: it's hardly dependent on the debate and the situation going in.

"#Debates Don't Matter" is an oversimplification: it's hardly dependent on the debate and the situation going in. In the case of well-established politicians, who show up and have a normal set of talking points, and then leave without a major change in voter information, it really doesn't matter. In the case where a candidate that people still don't know a lot about shows up acting like a potential president, and the other one starts going on rants about illegal immigrants eating dogs, it very well could get some of these less-informed voters to suddenly realize the reality here.
But we have to wait to see what the next few polls show, because it's pretty neck and neck here, and we are definitely going to have to keep fighting for this until election day.
(Reminder again, voter registration may become unavailable at the end of the month!)
