“I was leaning toward Harris before the debate, but now I’m voting for Trump.
Harris never really explained her flip-flops; she just disabled them.
So all I can assume is she isn’t really changing her stances, just saying she is.”
I trust him with the economy and to get stuff done.
Overall, it seemed childish on both sides at times.
I would have liked to hear more concrete plans from Kamala.
I’ll be voting for Trump.”
“I went into the debate completely undecided, but I believe Trump won the debate.
Harris seemed very unprepared and could not answer basic questions.
I got the feeling that she does not have a vision for America, only policy sound bites.”
“The moderators detracted from the debate and seemed to side with Harris.

A more connected people.
She was clear on the issues and had valid plans for inflation.
She spoke with kindness regarding women’s rights.
She did not go low with that man.
“While that man (Trump) spoke nonsense regarding immigration, people eating pets, and late-term abortions.
Along with somehow not being able to comprehend that biracial people exist.
“I was undecided but leaning toward Kamala Harris, and I am now voting for Kamala Harris.
I believe she would do a better job than Trump with the economy.”
“I was undecided but leaning toward Donald Trump.
I thought Trump won the debate, but I’m still undecided.
I also thought the moderators were biased.”
“I was completely undecided heading into the debate, and I am still undecided.
Trump scares me because he cannot stay on an issue and avoids answering questions he does not like.
Trump is too authoritarian.
Change is difficult; fast change leads to revolution.
Can someone start looking at history and what happens when change is forced and not evolved over time?
The good for one is surpassed by the good for the whole.”
“I didn’t watch the whole debate, just snippets on TikTok.
I was undecided until the clip I saw about eating dogs and cats in Ohio.
