I think debates are very helpful. It's a good thing for democracy that we get to see our candidates talk about their positions on nationally-broadcasted television for two hours. We dramatically over-estimate how much voters actually know about these candidates, because we're on the internet the whole day reading about them. Most people don't know anything about the candidate's specific views or plans, and while the debates are far from perfect, they at least help a little bit to educate voters. The more debates the better, I say.
