For the debate last night, this is my take:
1.) Moderators ONLY fact-checked Trump. They did not point out Kamala's lies.
2.) Trump either lied or said a lot of misinformation. Perhaps the funniest was that Kamala wants to give operations to transgender imprisoned immigrants. I was laughing out loud... Took me out... but just because it's funny doesn't make it true.
3.) Kamala did better than I thought she would do. She did bait the heck out of Trump and Trump bit every... single... time.

4.) Kamala deflected most of her questions and attacked Trump as if Trump was the incumbent. By doing so, she managed to weasel her way around one of her biggest weaknesses/failures, the border. The hosts didn't pressure her in the same way they did Trump in my opinion.
In terms of who won the debate from a technical point-of-view, I will give it to Kamala. When it comes to answering questions on their agenda (regardless of agreeing or disagreeing), I will give it to Trump. Trump did show composure by not constantly interrupting, now he needs to be trained on how to NOT take the bait. Lastly, I oppose Trump's view on NOT wanting to do an abortion ban and with funding IVF. I hope he reconsiders these things.
