Reflecting on the Obama-McCain race of 2008, scholars Kathleen Hall Jamieson and Jeffrey A. Gottfried note that in a “transformed media environment” — where traditional news has ceded ground to non-mainstream media sources — the televised debates continued to play a unique role, as they have through history. “For almost five decades, studies have confirmed the power of presidential debates to increase voter knowledge, and 2008 was no exception,” they write. “The debates’ two-sided clash of competing ideas, unmediated by interpretation from reporters, spiked voter knowledge. In these often disparaged encounters, the presidential and vice presidential nominees took on the deceptions perpetrated by the other side, including those on health care and taxing proposals.”

Under normal circumstances a debate might make a difference....might. These are not normal circumstances. I'm sorry but it would be way too expensive to elect Crooked HIllary. Figure it this way, if she gets elected it is just a matter of time before her crimes finally catch up with her. The whole impeachment process is going to cost a lot of money. Then, once she is convicted we have to pay for her incarceration. Very expensive. Then we have to change around the leaders and produce replacements. So, you can look at it any way you wish but Clinton is not viable, not worth it. She's damaged goods.
