I don't watch the debates. For one thing, they're not really debates at all, they're more like joint press conferences. Furthermore, they don't really reach the undecided voters. People who study such things have determined that most people don't watch the debates to decide which candidate to vote for; they watch to find justification for the decision that they've already made.
