GOP Debates As Must-See TV? Why You Should Watch

We've had nearly a month-long lull in the Republican presidential debates, but brace yourself — they'll be back soon enough.

Although TV ratings have been relatively high, many likely voters say they've got debate fatigue, and even some of those most interested in the debates' outcome are probably enjoying the break. The 20th debate this campaign cycle takes place Feb 22 in Arizona, and there are at least two more next month. But turn away at your own risk. While critics might decry their proliferation and negative tone, it's precisely at this point in the campaign season when the debates might be most decisive.
