Well thought out post.
From someone who actually has debated, removing labels and all, it was clear to me Clinton practiced for hours for a traditional debate. Meanwhile, Trump came across as someone who skimmed policies and then winged it.
This worked in a crowded primary for him because he hammered the quick sound bites and got media buzz. Dragged out over longer time frame he faded and often seemed scattered and confused.
The big question is how much will debates matter in 2016? From what I'm seeing both sides seems to pound chest in victory or make excuses such as the microphone (really?) or the moderator. Very curious in polling data for the coming week.
