Americans were failed by the Trump-Harris debate

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : Trump pointed out a few times that she had changed her position on fracking and defunding the police, but could have more successfully threaded the needle on what that means for her campaign.
31% : Trump had three points he needed to land against Kamala Harris: that voters cannot trust her because she is constantly changing her policy positions without a satisfactory explanation; that she covered up President Joe Biden's cognitive deficiencies from the American people and then participated in a political coup to take him out when it was politically convenient for her; and that she has had three and a half years to do the things she claims she will do on 'Day One' as president.
25% : Finally, Trump waited until his closing answer to hit Harris for not doing now what she promises to do after winning the presidency.
23% : Trump is known to perform better in his second-round debates, and it's unlikely he'd agree again to an obviously biased-against-him news network like ABC.
15% : She successfully disarmed Trump multiple times, such as when she pivoted from easily her worst issue - immigration - by baiting Trump to talk about his crowd sizes.
14% : While Trump only has himself to blame for some of his meandering and off-topic answers when Harris had her belly exposed, it's tough to be in a debate against three challengers.
12% : On point two, Trump brought up that Biden was forced out in a coup and noted Harris's involvement, but did not get to the kill shot: Harris claimed repeatedly on air both before and after the June debate that Biden was perfectly well.
8% : They did not fact check Harris once on the plenty of false statements she made, such as insinuating Trump did not condemn neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, claiming Trump supports abortion bans and banning IVF, alleging police officers died on January 6, that Trump said there would be a 'bloodbath' if Biden won re-election and that his agenda is Project 2025.
