So unlike cnnBS, aBS decided it would be a three against one debate, primarily because cnnBS was trying to get rid of Biden and all they needed was a fair debate moderation because the case against the current admin is so strong (Biden mental freezes were a bonus).  Now much of the discussion is about it being the worst/best moderated debate of all time (worst of you are sentient and best if you are a Harris supporter).  And you want to know why?  Because the framing of the questions asked were meant to assist Harris, the topics were meant to hamper Trump and the following stats from a review of the debate transcipts by the media.

Trump was fact-checked 4 times, Harris was fact-checked 0 times

Muir/Davis pressed Trump 6 times for follow-ups, Muir/Davis pressed Harris 0 times for follow-ups

Trump made ≈14 false statements,  Harris made ≈16 false statements

Harris was asked a grand total of 4 challenging question, did not answer them and there were no followups

When Trump was scoring points Muir would interrupt and move on

Not to mention, at least two of the so-called fact checks was blatantly false.  They do in fact let babies born from botched abortions die.  There is a video of Dem Governor Northrom explaining how this works.  And yes Haitans are eating animals in Ohio.  If you're going to fact check try not to be as stupid as Candy Crowley.

Interestingly, in the cnnBS poll after the debate Trump actually improved on the question of who is better on the economy.  Even with the dumpster fire debate moderation and his lack of prep he improved on what is the most important issue to Americans. 

So instead of covering issues important to Americans they focused on any topic they thought would harm Trump.  Abortion, J6, globaloney, blah, blah, blah.  But this exactly what I expected and what Trump should have expected it as well.  He missed so many opportunities and did not do well.  I suspect this is the last debate because no Republican POTUS candidate should ever agree to a debate with aBS, cBS or nBS.  They will because it's the stupid party, but they shouldn't.
