Appearances are a big deal, yes. I didn't see the debate (don't need to...I'm voting against convict Trump no matter who it is). I wasn't even alive to see Nixon's first debate in the early 60s. I am told he didn't look good, while Kennedy was...well...golden-boy Kennedy. Nixon was crushed in the election.
And, yes, Reagan was very comfortable in front of a camera. He always looked poised and relaxed. Even if he told stories about people that didn't exist getting medals that they didn't get.
