Presidential Debates
Any chance we see one before the 2028 cycle? I say no chance.
Says a lot about where this country has gone.

Pons’s study is not the only one to conclude that debates do not, in fact, have an impact. Wlezien arrived at the same finding when he and Robert Erikson of Columbia University analyzed all available U.S. presidential election polls between 1952, when the first televised debate took place, and 2012.
to cut through such noise, in 2019 Vincent Pons, an associate professor at Harvard Business School, and graduate student Caroline Le Pennec of the University of California, Berkeley, produced a working paper analyzing the influence of 56 TV debates on 31 elections in the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Canada and three other countries. The researchers’ data set included 94,000 respondents who were interviewed before and after an election to see who they planned to vote for and who they actually wound up choosing. The surveys took place in the two months leading up to an election, with a different set of individuals interviewed each day. This approach allowed the researchers to determine the percentage of people who had settled on their final choice as election day grew nearer and to test for any effect immediately before and after a debate.
Across all voting systems and election types, Pons and Le Pennec found that debates neither helped undecided voters to make up their mind nor caused those who had already made a decision to switch candidates. “I was surprised,” Pons says. “If you look at the numbers of people watching TV debates and at all the media attention around debates, you would think debates matter.”

I would tend to agree but with a dementia patient like Biden onstage there is always a chance he freezes up and damages his chances.
Also curious if they would ever allow RFK to participate. Probably another reason it wont happen.

One debate that was critical was the first one, the one between JFK and Nixon. Not because of anything that was said, but the way the two candidates looked. JFK was tanned and relaxed. Nixon, who had a heavy beard, had a 5 o'clock shadow and he looked shifty. Of course the mob influence in Chicago didn't hurt either.

Another one of your referred credentialed sources that spews stupidity.
Did you forget the Rubio bot short circuiting?
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016...bio-gop-debate
At the time I was following the polls and betting lines, before that slip up Rubio was ahead of Trump every where by a good margin. After that gaffe he sunk like a rock, never to recover and Trump became made of teflon.

Biden actually engaging in live conversation?
They haven't been avble to find enough drugs to get him throught the SOU yet.
Today's debates are a waste of time. You will see far more in depth discussions this weekend in the WWE's Royal Rumble!

I remember reading an article about a poll that taken after that debate. The majority of the people who listened to the debate on the radio thought Nixon clearly won the debate. The opposite result was true of those who watched the debate on television.
