Reg, i am not sure how significant debates are. I mean they seem to move polls a little bit after the fact and yet the prognosticator of presidential elections does not have that as a significant factor.
Also it seems to me that most voters are going to be ideologically driven and therefore not swayed by either candidate no matter how they do. If the electorate were worth its salt Trump would not have a chance. I don’t think it is exagerrating to say he is a traitor and threatens to undermine everything. So it is the ones who are not frozen and echo chambered that may be persuadable. I suppose that could be the difference in the key states. I don’t know but i will be having popcorn too.
