Think I read some study several years back (probably following the Trump-Clinton one) that concluded almost everyone always perceives their “team’s” candidate as having won the debate, and the number of voters swayed by a stellar performance from another candidate is negligible.
Except the news media thinks they are, so we will probably continue to have them, if not just for the entertainment value. They fill in some of the ‘air time’.
Wow. Just silliness. The only residual discussion after the debate is “Did he say ‘gay’ or ‘gagged’?”
Says a lot about the importance of the debate in the overall election.

Yeah, they’re pretty damn pointless…
