It's time to accept the fact that debates might not matter
3. Warren – 9.8%
Clearly, more people have learned about Warren since then, but even her rise in the polls has not coincided with the debates. The only candidate who experienced a surge that can be directly traced to a debate performance was Kamala Harris, and her support dropped off quickly . In the long-term, there’s no indication that the first two debates have mattered.
in the 2016 primary was tied to lack of name recognition and a grassroots campaign, but not to debate performance.filled with gotcha questions and strict time limits that allow for only the most shallow discourse before a moderator begins shouting. Maybe we shouldn’t care about debates. What’s more frustrating, though, is the stagnancy of the race overall. If Joe Biden can stumble his way through two debates and not lose an iota of support, what could possibly shake things up at this point? A Sanders-Warren unity ticket, in which they combine their powers? Maybe. But beyond desperate gambits like that, or gaffes that are too serious to overlook, it seems we’ve reached a place in the primary where voters have made up their minds.
