Was It Worth It?
Kamala Harris spent a week preparing to debate Donald Trump and she is widely thought to have won, but she gained only a single point in the polls. Was it worth it? There is a limit to how much speech-making can boost one’s presence, especially on TV without an audience. It is hard to fire up a crowd that isn’t there. Maybe Trump wasn’t wrong after all in his minimal preparation for the debate. He didn’t help himself with his lies and falsehoods, but he wasn’t hurt that much if the polls are accurate. One unanswered question remains. Why have debates at all?
