And many viewers were undecided before the debate, but not afterwards having witnessed dimwit Kalamity Harris.

Fox needs to get rid of Wallace. He is just a “Chip off the Old Block”, namely his super liberal Dad, Mike Wallace. Every time I see him, I think his is auditioning for CNN or MSNBC.

Rush is doing a great job by playing back Biden quotes.

I’m really happy nearly 60 million ppl saw Mike Pence destroy this empty pants suit. She gives women the shivers, at least according to those closest to me.

Most don’t realize it but Chris Wallace didn’t really have a relationship with his biological father Mike Wallace until he was 14, raised by his stepfather according to Wiki.

As far a FOX goes, they’re not going to change other than for the worse. They tried to silence Newt when he mentioned Soros, then Wallace’s debate performance, then John Wallace freaking out over the white supremacist lie. Done waiting so dropped Verizon Cable / TV and I hooked up Roku TV and have Newsmax and OAN and am saving over $150 / mo in the process.

Good this means they saw the empty Kamala Harris and
they saw Mike Pence who was able to showcase the Biden/Harris no policies policy.

I did not watch the debate on Fox I watched it on OAN millions of people saw that debate.

He became a male version of Megyn Kelly with that performance, and he's panicking

Every campaign has a few key turning points. This really feels like one

Yep, a devastating blow. Harris looked like a high school student who was at the bottom of her class.

Big Media will tell us that Hoe Harris drew the larger {racist} crowd.

I’ll go a little further off the beaten path here. Kamala’s voice is irritating enough. Geez, it’s tough to listen for just a short time. But you brought up something interesting about women getting the shivers watching Harris. There must be body language women are reading that makes them fearful. They sense something horrid about her.

Yup. Normally the VP debate is not seen as significant. But there have been questions about the health of both guys at the top of their tickets. So people get curious about the Veep. I’m glad so many people watched it — the choice is really very clear. I see a big win by Trump in November and this debate will be one of the contributing factors.
