Exactly my point. This debate didn't change anybody's mind. Hillary only strengthend her position.

I have my ballot but haven't mailed it yet.

I'm still undecided on Prop 205. I like the concept of legalizing recreational marijuana, but I'm not sure about the details of this proposition.

Is it bad I didn't watch? I'm not voting for the orange guy. All her policy is on her website. It would have just been a waste of time.

I think the debates don't really matter much. I think the big swings you were seeing in the polls are because of Trump self destructing in the media with the allegations of sexual harassment and the infamous audio recording with Billy Bush. Those are the things that swung fringe voters and undecided.

There really are undecided voters out there, and debates do matter to help them decide. It's just hard for us to remember once we are politics junkies who read a lot of news and watch a lot of coverage.
