WFAA is getting reactions to Tuesday's debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris from both sides of the aisle.

It’s hilarious calling Trump a felon doesn’t get under his skin but talking about his crowd size triggers him to the point of cognitive collapse.

This comment section has me asking, did we watch the same debate.

[ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

They need to ask Trump who these "They" are when he mentions them. Force him to give lists.

He’s very disrespectful calling her stupid and no one talking about that

I think I'm going to switch my vote from Trump to Kamala. My eyes were closed and I didn't see so clear. I'm paying $350 in the grocery store for seven items in my cart. Before I used to have 400 items in my cart for $350. she has unburdened what has been. My shopping cart is much lighter to push now and I thank her for that. I think if we electric her this time she will even make greater strides. I think I can pay $850 when I leave the store with no items in my cart. I walk in the grocery store grab a cart make a big old u-turn and walk right out and pay $850.00 That's the goal. I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner All the Kamala Harris voters I'm with you I understand now. Do your thing girl.

Trump is exhausting. I’m so tired of him. He needs to go away Don’t care for Harris either but we’ve had 9 years of DJT and his shenanigans.

🤔Trump himself said the VP is irrelevant! Which he’s right! The problem is he keeps saying(why didn’t she do it?) Decisions don’t rest on the VP, it rest on the Prez!🤷‍♂️

Are you better off today than 4 years ago.

Harris was fishing for Independent votes while Trump was trying sour Independents not to vote for her.... It's crazy the dynamic.

[ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

This has become clear a choice as ever: Patriotism or MAGA. The South has wanted to rise again so badly. That idea is alive but there are too many PATRIOTS!!

As a Libertarian Im glad we have a multiparty coalition of Liberals, Moderates, Republicans, Libertarians, Green Party members, & Non Party Affiliations against this MAGA cult!

WE GOT THIS!!!

Speaking of lies, Harris told a few whoppers tonight.

[Sonja]

She knew the questions and rehearsed it

[latoyachampion]

They were coming for trump and being gentle with her. Not a fair debate.

[JoelCastro]

This may go down as one of the worst debates of all time

Neither one of them answered any questions, just a bunch of back and forth about who sucks more

I'll sum up the debate for you

Trump-Exactly what you would expect, crazy statements, random tangents, question avoiding, all around rage of an old man

Kamala- Question avoiding worse than trump, one liners about Trump, zero policy discussion, Trump is a felon....

If I had to pick a winner I guess it would be Kamala but quite frankly if you look at the Goals of both sides tonight for Trump it would've been to drag Kamala down to his level with random Tangents which he succeeded

Kamala needed to state her policy clearly and how she would change things which she never did

Kamala will be seen as the winner for now but Trump won the long game because we are still no closer to finding out Kamalas policies this was her chance and she failed

[One-sipc]

She never answers the questions given 🫤

[ouroboros]

3:10 what lies lmaooo 😂
The ABC mods “fact checked” him with lies of their own.

[luckypao]

If Americans elect Harris to America is doomed....!

[m-pbei]

2:43 Um, and he's, he's showing a little bit of,
2:46 of aggression. Really. It's a by purposely never
2:50 looking to her.
What!? So, now, not looking at some is aggression? What miro aggression or sth?

[RudyJimenez-kmkz]

I dont think this debate changed anyone's mind on their preference going into it.

While neither talked about their specific policies, they both brought up good points.

Both parties have better candidates. I wish they were there and not these two. This is now our third election in row with horrible choices. America needs to do better!

The team who lost, ALWAYS blames the moderators.
