I like waiting on the full text of the debates to be published, grab them off the news site, run the text in a word cloud generator, and see what the gist of it is. Works really well for longer-form items (like state of the union speeches), but is pretty good for debates too as long as you have the text separated out.

i'll probably just wait until I can read the debate stuff. i retain that a lot better than watching people talking over one another.
