It's a weird thing in the US (for anyone having stepped outside its borders for any length of time) that the president very rarely has to answer questions and even the candidates rarely meet head to head. So ANY king of debate (and I use the term loosely) is important to them.

Compare that with the UK for example where the main opposition gets to grill the PM more or less every week and harsh press interviews are common.

Been reading more posts and articles on it elsewhere stating it was a 'tie' because she didn't do as badly as she could. It'll be an interesting olympics next time if that's gonna be the criteria for awarding medals
