Tim Walz lost my vote for the Harris ticket. Going red this year! I know I'm not alone.

Moderators were just as bad as ABC…. We want the important questions & a fair debate.

[VendelaIvory]

I think only independent interviewers should host debates from now on. Imagine if Joe Rogan asked the uncomfortable questions and Jamie pulled up the clip 😂

[homiedclown]

Fact checking the moderators who weren’t supposed to be fact checking was priceless

"Closer look at key MOMENTS in the debate"
Only talks about one moment and of course twists it with liberal spin.
Shameful.

ABC... you guys really need to actually watch the debate, not go with what somebody else told you. Vance won the debate hands down.

[jagusiff]

Independant voter, Waltz IS a knucklehead (he said it)! but yet a lot smarter than Kamala. JD Vance smart, articulate and compassionate. Takes the edge off Trump. Can relate to ALL Americans.

Liberal biased moderators 3 on 1 and Vance still won. Nice try.

Has anyone noticed way more trump supporters on this left leaning news media channel? Everyone on the left is getting sick of the current state of the country and finally starting to see through the lies, if this election is fair and not full of illegal immigrant’s votes, I’m looking forward to be able to live in peace again and comfortably provide for my family after 4 years of chaos. If not, may god help us all.

Both men were polite, and for the most part, respectful. Overall, Vance did a better job. Walz tried hard, but seemed more unsure of himself. It was a good debate except for the moderator fact checking. They just couldn't help herselve.

[glenadams]

These guys should be running for President, not Vice...both better leaders and human beings

[makaylasmith]

One could also question how Harris became the Democratic nominee for president without any challenge from any other Democrat. She was handed the party and didn’t have to run against anyone else in her party to cinch the nomination. She isn’t the acting president at the moment, so how did this happen? How is that Democratic?

[marjoriebreslin]

Vance destroyed timmy, and CBS looks tribal.

[alk]

Vance had to fact check the moderators. That sums it up. Three against one

[genieinabottle]

Wow, ABC news just can't bring themselves to admit Vance wiped the floor with Walz. Instead, "let's talk about Jan 6th, again..." Get over it, already!!! So sick of hearing about this s**t.

[thetreeoflife]

Yep putting the spin on one moment, the totality of the debate shows that Walz is a clown.

[matthewst]

Cool and confident vs nervous and balding

[bonezthesag]

$000ooo why did Walz look scared 😱 up there the WHOLE TIME? And have to WRITE DOWN EVERY THING that Vance $AID?

[CMLX]

Its okay to watch other people's key take away for the debate, just do your own research and key take away. Think for yourself as you watch, take notes of each persons view then compare.

The delusion that waltz did a good job at allll
