The vast majority were watching to see how their candidate did, 73 . 41 were watching for the entertainment value of this. Cbs put thisate, out. In found the debate formative.

Cement in simpsonville, South Carolina on our support Vice President biden line. What did you think of tonights debate . Was a little aggravating to watch. Im glad joe biden answered. The questions he was asked. Still didnt get a lot of the answers i was looking for. But overall, it was a mess. It was a mess. What is a question you would have asked, samantha, or you wanted an answer to . Well, the question donald trump didnt answer that i wanted answered was about the greenhouse Climate Change. He didnt really go in depth about Climate Change like i thought he should have, so i really wish he would have answered the entire question. Thanks for calling in this evening. Support on our President Trump line from joplin, missouri. Caller hi. Your reaction to the debate tonight . But i im for trump, wish trump would have been more calm about things. All right. Lets move on and hear from christopher in jefferson, texas. Christopher, please give us your assessment of tonights debate. Caller the only thing i want to a president is supposed to be president of the people. When you look at donald trump, his background, when you look at mr. Joe biden, joe biden is a you can trust to be the person next door to you or someone you can believe in working with you if he was someone over your company. Cant lead with someone who is always hotheaded. Now the people who voted for him are in an uproar. They dont know what to say saidse this is what people they wanted america to be and that is not what america is. The president who is the president is a president of the people, and that is who we put in to run this great america. Fords, new jersey on our support President Trump line. What did you think about tonight . Caller honestly, it did not shock me. Personally, from the minute come stepped into office President Trump stepped into office, he was ridiculed no matter what he would have done, whether it was good or bad, and i personally think hes got so much, probably anger and animosity of everything that has gone on the whole time hes been a president , with everything going on with scamming him and trying to get him impeach and Everything Else the guy has been through, the way i look at it, more than somebody else would have probably put up with, but tonight, i cant say i was overjoyed with what went on with either one of them. Allit didnt shock me at because both of them, i think, without there with an attitude where they cant stand each other from what it looks like and it all came out on tv. Why do you support President Trump . Caller why . Yes maam. Ive worked for the federal government 32 years and ive seen a lot in those 32 years. I dont think this country was in great shape when he took office. Theink as far as immigration part, there are too many people coming into this country as far as im not going to say im prejudiced against people coming into this country. But i think wrong, there are people illegally here that shouldnt be because of crime and Different Things going stop to a did put a lot of people coming into the country which a lot of people felt was wrong, but i think it is getting overrun. I mean, when you look at the welfare rolls, people on assistance that come here and, i mean, it is only a matter of time before there is no money for Social Security and every thing else because of the way it is going. Some things i do agree with him on. Some things im on the fence about. The border wall, i mean, that was a big issue. I think something had to be done, whether that was a good or bad idea. Im not really going to say is supposedlyt he bringing back a lot of things from china, as far as a living going to china and these other countries, and as far as prescriptions, if you are on any kind of medication which are expensive, a lot of people cant afford it. Personally, myself, i have a son who has a lot of medical problems. I called about trying to get him on obamacare and all these plans. You cant afford it. Theres no way. Hes on a plane from the state not medicaid, but it is called the marketplace where they go by your income. If you dont have any income, i guess you go on medicaid, but i dont know that much about obamacare shall i cant really some ofout that, but the things trump has done as far as i can see are good. Thanks for sharing some of your views with us. Austin, texas on our support President Biden line. Hello. I would like to say i think biden did very well considering the circumstances and how much trump interrupted him. And i am disappointed trump is andggressive and so angry, it is an embarrassment for america. This is what the world series for our leader. Sees our leader.

What is your reaction to tonights debate, dominic . Caller i feel like it could have been a lot more organized. The host of the show, i really feel like wasnt doing his job very well making sure both of these opponents got their voice heard. It was a lot of talking over each other, and it was a lot it was hard for me to understand with what each candidate was offering to the country. Even though i already know that trunk is here trump is here to support the preservation of the american way and how i was born, raised. Anted to hear what biden more of what biden had to say or what he had to offer. Host dominic, a lot of people probably were talking at their tvs during the debate and grousing. How would you have moderated it . Caller how would i have done what . Host how would you have moderated debate if you were Chris Wallace sitting in that chair . Caller well, im not a moderator so, you know, but thats not my skill, so i cant answer the question. Right, thank you, sir. Richard, atwater, california. Support joe biden line. What did you think of tonight . ,aller it is obvious trump againstpletely biased everyone against that except himself. I cant imagine. And never voted in my life im 52. Im going to vote against him today. Ill not kandi in lakeside, california on our support President Trump line. Kim, did you learn anything tonight . Debates are always challenging and being a moderator is not something i would like to do between those guys. Ive lived in san diego, lived in the military, 68 years old, ive never claimed anything. Filipino and always felt if i didnt earn it on my own merits whether im a veteran or my education i didnt deserve it. Living in san diego, you see an influx of people all the time. Im behind President Trump 100 . Hes a transparent president. Get his tweets, but i follow them. I think biden needs to get a backbone if hes going to do anything and i dont think it stepped up to it he stepped up today. It is hard to debate with two of these guys. I like the fact trump takes charge and the other thing is when they are reaching in my pocket for my taxes, that pisses me off more than anything and before covid, my 401 k was kicking ass and i was looking forward to having that thing go up until i retired but now i am trying to get back to where it used to be. Serve inmp office and get our country back in line so my 401 k continues to grow. Host what is it like to be a trump supporter in california . Caller [laughs] this used to be a red state. I voted for governor wilson, schwarzenegger. You are surrounded by liberals and i cant stand it. I dont know what happened to california, the white it shifted the way it is and i am a progun on top of that. I joined the military, wasnt interested in july got in the military. It is tough living here surrounded by people you work with who are all liberals and at the same time trying to be conservative and support the guy. Host next call is vanessa, also on the west coast in washington. Did i say the name of your city correctly . Caller you got close . Host you are calling on the undecided line. Are you truly undecided and did the debate influence you at all tonight . Caller you know, i am a bit undecided. I am a person who believes in people who are going to help this country. It doesnt matter if you are a republican, democrat, or liberal. Tonight, ie debates think for me, i wanted to hear the people answer our next president to answer the question and it was really hard for me because of trump continuously interrupting and i felt like he kind of bullied his way through the debate. It was extremely disappointing each candidate was asked questions, to be transparent and answer the question. Sometimes, they got a little lost. Maybe it was because of the interrupting. I feel like the moderator pretty tonight, but that was the disappointing part of it. I just feel like when we watch the second or third debate, maybe they can address the questions better and less interruptions. Host thanks for calling in, vanessa. Greta brawner . Greta from our text we are getting from viewers tonight. Ihere is one from jared. That was embarrassing. Neither gave plans for the future. I think biden came out on top because he spoke to the American People directly and showed how trumps policies have failed so far while giving examples of what he did as Vice President. Woman in denver, if a acted and said the things trump said in this debate, his supporters would drag her with sexist remarks and not take her seriously as a candidate. Mary from buffalo, it was sad to see the president had to debate biden and the moderator. Chris wallace patterned candy crawley when she hosted in previous years. Richie from beaumont, President Trump was unprepared for the debate. Biden won hands down. Ne, biden distanced himself from the green new deal. Never expected that. Host emily, texas on our support joe biden line. What did you think . Caller i think this debate was so disappointing, but the way the moderator composed himself, i dont know how he had the patience to deal with donald trump. Trump as ad president , i feel he didnt get a good example for the country the way he kept interrupting Vice President joe biden. I feel like joe biden really won against donald trump. Something that donald trump didnt really address was the way that when he was asked about condemning white supremacists, he didnt say anything. He really just ignore the question and continued talking. He didnt answer the question. He really just misled us all and i feel so disappointed by what he was stating. Host emily, were you old enough to vote four years ago and if so, who did you vote for . No, i wasnt. I just turned 18 in this year and i am so excited to be able to vote. Ive been telling my friends and family to register. Ive helped my grandma register to vote, my father, and my mom. Host are you still in high school this year . Emily . We must have lost her. Sorry about that. Robert in chula vista, california on our support President Trump line. Caller hi. I think trump got this all the way. Point about joe biden. All those, you know. Host robert, we are having a little trouble. A reminder to viewers, turn down the volume on your tv and if you are on your speakerphone on your mobile phone, take it off speaker, it makes for a cleaner sound. Judith, georgia on our support joe biden line. Caller hip. Hi. I wish someone had asked trump if it is true that melania would not move into the white house until all the toilets were exchanged, and i have a second question. , interestinguse declaring war . The leader of north korea or what . Those are my two questions. Host that is judith in georgia. Catherine is next in eureka, california and she is on our support President Trump line. Caller hi. Host how was tonights debate for you . Caller i support President Trump 100 . I think biden has had a lot of years to do what he says hes going to do he has been completely the opposite in his policies the previous years so i do not trust him. I do not like him. I host am all for trump. Host i am all for trump. Host what are some of the issues of concern for you . Caller my freedoms as an american. Im about my gun rights. Tobout being able to choose vaccinate my children or not. I believe is trump i believe that trumps for freedom. Have you been affected by the wildfires . Caller very much and i work in the cannabis industry. Not only because of that, but in california. Obviously, the majority of that is burning. Friends, neighbors, people i know, their homes are burning. They are maybe 30 miles from the fires. Policeof defunding the , andhings, we need order we dont need people robbing houses and destroying businesses. There are Business Owners who have lost a lot in california that are have always they need to be protected. Host how big is the cannabis industry in Northern California . Caller it has brought a lot of really amazing jobs and stability to a lot of people. Host thanks for calling in. Robert in san jose, california, on our undecided line. Robert, are you truly undecided . If so, did tonights debate affect your viewpoint . Undecided. , i am to answer your question from the previous caller, its a 20 billion industry, the cannabis industry in california. I am undecided and i wish i had another choice of person to vote for because i dont really think that either one of these guys are really interested in helping i thinkon people, and that there is a lot of suffering thats going on, especially right now with covid19, and people are losing their jobs, and businesses are closing, and a lot of things are happening, especially here in california where we do have fires and we are experiencing a lot more people becoming on housed as a result of that. Of people being on housed now is growing at a tremendous rate, and this would be the loss of business and people coming out of not being able to pay rent, it is expected that they will be right here in our county, which is currently about 10,000 people on housed. There is projected to be between 40,000 to 50,000 People Living in the streets. Host in your view, what is the solution to that housing issue . Think we have to somehow work out a deal where the banks help bailout people because we bailed out the banks back in 2008, and there was a lot of profit that was made from that time and i think it i
