I remember that! It was so strange.

I've got the US Senate debate on now. It had me thinking of what was known as the Senate's Golden Age, when it featured serious debates about the great issues of the time. It was beneficial to the nation.

Obviously, presidential campaign debates are different than Senate operations. But the potential for something meaningful is there. (The potential still exists in the Senate, too, although the quality of characters there would need to improve for that to happen.)
