Is anyone actually expecting the debates to change anyone's minds? I think most if not all voters made up their minds already
Only if one of them did really poorly compared to the other. Like if Biden was incoherent. Biden was going to be declared the winner no matter what by most of the Media.
That’s what happened with Ryan during the last VP debate he was in when Ryan was clearly better informed and had better command of the issues. Biden just guffawed at him and interrupted Ryan the whole time. I was never a Ryan fan, but Biden didn’t really win that debate. At least Trump isn’t letting him do that, but they are both being childish.
