Lawrence is misrepresenting the debate watchers. The non-watchers were largely democrats who did not want to go through the pain to see Biden. Fifty million plus is a big chunk of the population which would include the swing waters. Obviously performance is not more important than policy but that is not the swing voters are concentrating. We democrats can talk and listen in echo chambers as much as we want, what matters is what ordinary Joe thinks about the candidate and his image.
