Well, it seems clear what you decided. The debates were actually painful to watch. I had to maintain distance between myself and my remote control to keep myself from changing the channel. It was stiff and nothing new was said. I like and respect both candidates less after watching the “debate.”
Your NPR link was a bit questionable, or simply I misunderstood. They did have rebuttals. Not that any of the questions made much difference because they never really got answered anyway. Ugh.
