    One detail that jumped out to me was him prefacing the claim about millions of immigrants eating peoples' dogs and cats by explaining that "[a] lot of towns don't want to talk about it because they're so embarrassed by it." I suppose that was the built-in excuse about why the news of this widespread problem is not getting out? I know he's not an animal/pet person, but I think he underestimates how much Americans love their dogs and cats.

    Not true. You are clearly uninformed. Kamala lied repeatedly throughout the debate except for her anti-Israel opening. Not once did the fact checkers correct her, so this was more of a coddling of Kamala than a debate. It was 3 on 1 to me.

    You are simply too biased to accept the fact that ABC held a non-debate. It no wonder why Kamala refused to go on Fox News. They wouldn't have put up with her lies. That she is willing to now go on NBC tells me plenty about who would be the moderators.

    If I'm Trump, it's a hell no to more debates unless Kamala also agree to go on Fox News. There is no way to have a won meaningful debate by either side having Trump fight it out 3 on 1. Disney/ABC should be ashamed of themselves. They're not because they won't give up being woketard even though they have lost $billions crapping on the American people.

    I know I changed my mind on the vote when he announced that world leader Victor Orban endorsed him.

    Not mocking it. Saying it is a non-issue in the context of much larger problems we have to worry about. I know it happens because I believed my father in law.

    A truth we heard last night from Trump is that the abortion issue has been an extremely polarizing issue for many years and will continue to be so in the future. And I agree with Trump to let the states decide and get the federal government out of the process.

    And by the way, did Harris ever answer the direct question asked as to whether she supported allowing abortions in the third trimester of pregnancy?

    It sure came across that way because everything she did to bait Trump into looking like, well … Trump, worked beyond expectations. Look no further than his response to the softball question of whether he would sign a federal abortion ban, “They tried to eliminate student loans.”

    Or his 10 minutes spent in responding to his crowd size.

    Or the subtle way she baited him to bringing up cat-eating and then calling him out as the unhinged lunatic he appeared to be.

    For all of Trump’s so-called brilliance at debate, he came across last night as a tired, stale act.

    Trump is saying leave it to the states because he realized most people were ok with Roe v Wade when the GOP started losing elections. He's now saying "leave it to the states" to save face.

    Israel won’t exist

    His whole message was about fear porn, with no substance whatsoever. I think that came out loud and clear last night.

    They also slammed Kamala on her inconsistencies, but she handled the questions well. Trumpeters don’t talk about those direct questions to Kamala. When Trump was confronted, he looked unhinged.

    That is a crazy woman born in the US that doesn't live in Springfield or nearby. Good find. Its already been debunked. But RFK ate a dog and killed a bear while he might have been a dem though.
