Why did this debate seem more like a presidential debate than the actual one?

[patricktuggles]

Damn this was so respectful it's weird to watch lol. This is how debates should be

[senorfunball]

I thought it was a good debate. Kinda refreshing

[thebroham]

Speaking of CENSORSHIP, CNN's posting of the full debate DISABLED comments

[xEPICxNESS]

They’re actually letting each other finish a sentence? They’re praising each other on what they agree with? Wow 😂

The debate was almost entirely focused on domestic issues. CBS moderators opened with a question about the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, but did not ask about the United States’ support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.

The unusually normal debate ended with another refreshingly normal moment – the kind that hasn’t been seen over the past decade of presidential debates. The candidates shook hands and chatted away from the microphones, and lingered as their wives joined them.

Need to hi-light the Civil Tone & Mutual Respect the Candidates exhibited and how no matter how polar opposed they were on the Issues/Truth they did not resort to name calling or make it personal...This is what Democratic Political Discourse looks like when Trump is out of the picture & there are adults in the room...

[jakedecker]

Turn your comments on for the full debate. I think you're kinda censoring Americas thoughts on the debate

[RogerM]

Vice Presidential debate > Presidential Debate. Both Trump and Kamala, sounded like mumbling amateurs near JD Vance and Tim Walz.

[ZackShepard]

Please read all of these comments, and then explain to me how cnn is posting 75% votes in favor of Kamala. Somebody’s lyin??

[cheehee_]

Vance has been doing any and all media appearances, regardless if it’s friendly or not. That paid off tonight cause he was on his game and was relaxed and in control. Iron sharpens iron

The fact that we sent billions of dollars to Ukraine this week, yet our own Americans are suffering from the storm in North Carolina, Tennessee etc, and of course it’s crickets from media outlets and Government!

[JoeMama-rwni]

Dude. 7:55 Vance didn’t say Harris used kids as drug mules, he said illegal immigrants were using kids as drug mules…

[uncannydan]

Is this a turning point?! Not only in political debate, but common civility and DISCUSSION? Springfield, Ohio raised, but current resident of foreign nation. Why? I am a u.s. army vet, asia (Korea) and europe (Bosnia). But each visit to the U.S., I'm heartbroken at just the degradation of the U.S. and 'civility' of the people at large. I firmly believe that The United States of America is THE most uncivilized people of the world. Prove me wrong, please! Then i may allow my son to explore his 'roots'. Until then...absolutely no way.

[edwardbatista]

Tim delivered the word salad we expected from Harris

[redacted.]

JD VANCE is the clear winner but Tim Walz was also good and kept it civil. ❤❤❤

[unbanmekoil]

😮 Moderators were trying to take down Vance more than Walz was! 😂

[WinstonSmith]

Tim Walz actually claimed that tens of millions of undocumented immigrants in this country had no effect whatsoever on the housing crisis. That’s next level stupid. 🤡

[realitycheck]

I realized one thing tonight. The media has been lying to us about Vance. He is sharp!
