Here is a sampling of the comments we received from our readers after they voted in the survey.
“The needle was not moved. If you are for Harris, you continue. If you are for Trump, you continue. No doubt the moderators were for Harris. Their bias was obvious. Still, it accomplished nothing.” – Glenda Piacenti
“Last night was not a great night for Trump, but Harris was fake but articulate. I doubt this will move the election at all.” – Pat Clonan
“This was not a debate, but a scripted production for Harris and ABC.” – Terrie Newman
“Even though it was three against one, Trump—I believe—delivered his message. Unless, of course, you follow the ‘alphabet’ MSM news sources.” – John R. Makow
“Harris won. Trump allowed her (and the moderators) to get under his skin and control the debate. I’m glad I’m voting for the platform, not the person as all Christians should be.” – Sandie McCarrie
“I am not sure who won—but the biggest loser was ABC and the moderators.” – Steve Sullivan
“When you consider DJT was debating three people and two of them allowed non-stop lies to be spewed from the mouth of the third while throwing in their own jabs, President Trump handled it quite well.” – Tina Bartley
“I hate to say it, but Kamala won. Not because of substance, or delivery, or debate skill, but because the uninformed voters who are going to decide this election watched Honey Boo Boo and The Kardashians and then flipped over to the debate and said, ‘I think she’s qualified to run the country.’” – Chris Breaux
“I think Trump won because he did not need to prove himself. We all know what he did for the country.” – Cathy Blake
“Kamala Harris did not answer even one question put to her. Instead, she responded to each question with a memorized response that did not answer the specific question put to her, and the ABC moderators never followed up asking for a specific answer as they frequently did with President Trump. President Trump took on Harris and both ABC moderators and emerged unscathed.” – Ronny Keister
“Only winners from the debate were people who didn’t watch.” – Adam Cahn
“There was no ‘winner’ in last night’s ‘debate,’ since it was not a true debate. It was orchestrated by a biased media, hoping to introduce the new ‘Kamala’ to the ‘uninformed.’ There was nothing in last night’s performance that would change an informed voter’s mind.” – Richard Heizer
“Kamala stuck to her carefully rehearsed script, and DJT was pulled off-track.” – Marsha Cooper
“She told so many untruths that it was unbelievable. Particularly with regard to abortion and the border invasion!” – George McClure
“Harris won the debate because she was so well rehearsed, seeming to know the questions in advance. Sympathetic ABC moderators helped her out. However, Taylor Swift’s endorsement of her will probably move the needle for her more than the debate.” – Tom Rhodes
“Harris did way better than I expected, but she had a lot of help and told a lot of lies.” – Heather Hunter
“The ‘debate’ was more of a tag team smack down. But President Trump still came out the victor! His constant message really needs to be, Are you better off today than four years ago?” – Bob Davis
