Winning isn't everything and sometimes it is nothing

I've written this before in past election cycles, but let me say it again for the 2020 race: Can we stop talking about who "won" each debate? Debate's don't have victory conditions. There is no formal point system and no objective system to adjudicate who did better. Sure people might have different opinions about who had a better performance, but that opinion is going to mostly influenced by what the opinionator already thinks about the candidate, much more than what actually happened in the debate.
