I don't watch debates because I don't like A) dueling talking points and/or B) political theater. I can think of a number of different ways to test candidates as to their fitness for office besides trying to wedge a scripted zinger into a question on pre-existing conditions. You could argue that the current sad state of our nation is because we have confused reality television with reality. This is what allowed Trump to come close enough to sneak out a win in 2016.
Luckily, after a brief "bothsides" attempt at saying the debate was bad, most media outlets have acknowledged that the debate was bad, because of Trump.
I tend to agree with Josh Marshall and others who have noted that Trump is losing and anything that doesn't help that, hurts him.
