Just as in a boxing match, one fighter may be ahead on points for eight-and-a-half rounds. That doesn’t matter one iota if the other fighter delivers a knock-out punch in the ninth round.

"That’s a damning non-answer," was Tim Walz’s knock-out punch!

It was definitely Walz' high water mark, and a major ding on Vance. Hardly a knockout though

Maybe more of a 'knockdown'; rather than a 'knockout'; Harris delivered a 'knockout' to Trump in the first debate

To keep the boxing jargon going; the judges here(according to your polls above) ruled this debate a draw

Tim Walz spoke the memorable lines that will echo after this debate. What memorable lines did JD Vance have? I honestly don’t remember any. Neither will most people – and I think that matters.

To be honest, I think the entire debate will be forgotten by Saturday

The Harris-Walz Campaign is already cutting an ad with JD Vance’s evasion about 2020 and future elections – and Walz’s zinger: "That’s a damning non-answer."

At least that line won’t be forgotten.

"Thinking about the debate last night and I have to say there is something really odd about the media demanding interviews to ensure politicians are honest and accountable and the same media swooning over a slick delivery of lies."
