To the editor:

The debate was terrible. I would not call it a debate. Presidential debates should be about policy and not using the moderators to debunk talking points and to attack your opponent all night. The moderators did all the heavy lifting for Harris. There was little fact checking on her and many times on Trump and if you actually did a little fact-checking yourself, you would find did the ABC commentators, we’re wrong on most of their fact checks? American voters lost. They didn’t get a true picture of the candidates because of the media.

The debate was like the DNC convention. Promises and platitudes but no policy. Her performance was award winning, but she didn’t answer one question. She made it about personality not policy and again there was little fact checking on her.

It isn’t a surprise, Trump tried to talk policy while she went after him with the same old false accusations. She’s also telling us everything is great, yet how are you living? Look at the economy. We already know what life is like in America under both candidates, so people’s decision should be simple. How was life like in America under Trump versus Biden/Harris? The cost of gas, groceries, law and order, and a secured border, no wars under Trump. It’s a simple matter. If you want four more years of what we have today vote for Harris. Some people like open borders, high crime and gangs and illegals taking over hotels and apartment buildings and getting your taxpaying dollars.
