I can't speak for others, but the debates have always been just pure pain for me to watch. There are just so many lies, exaggerations and campaign promises which will never be acted upon, it drives me crazy.
On the one hand the debates are too long, but on the other they are not nearly long enough to be informative. It's almost like you have to make them several hours long so each candidate exhausts all their hot air and bull# and is forced to reveal what they are really saying, or planning. It's like you never get through the pre-planned sound bytes and campaign bravado before it's time for the next question. I sometimes wonder if it wouldn't be better to mute the first couple of minutes of each candidate's responses and only air the last couple minutes.
The debates are structed more like reality TV than they are a true debate. In fact, the word "debate" shouldn't even be allowed, IMO. Under the official rules of true "Debate", both candidates would be disqualified and asked to take a seat. Plus, the moderators generally have no real understanding of true debate rules; they're just news media mouthpieces.
The presidential debates are more about who can get the best one-liner and the most zingers on the other guy. No real policy ever gets discussed in detail.
To me, watching the debates is like...dancing with a belt sander.

He does tend to go off script and run his mouth off whereas Harris was a prosecutor so that may stand her in good stead.
But who knows?
Will watch it out of morbid curiosity.
The US needs better candidates.

I'm more curious as to how she plans to back out?
No amount of preparing on her part can get her ready to answer the hard questions

Getting Under Trump’s Skin
While Harris’ team is preparing to talk about a variety of topics, the campaign very much views the optics of the debate as critically important. To that end, Harris and her team are focusing on homing in on how to needle Trump to rattle him.
In that sense, it’s going to be less about substance and more about showcasing Harris as a woman who isn’t scared, and isn’t going to cower, and who is standing up to Trump and holding him accountable.
Her campaign also hopes to “remind people of what it was like during Donald Trump’s years,” the source said.
