I hear a lot of concern about his response to racism from conservatives. However, I heard Biden say Antifa is an idea. That was a game changer for me. Also, that and avoiding the question about packing the court showed me Biden is going to fold to radicalism.

I convinced my wife too who was going to vote 3rd party. I am furloughed 4% of my pay and before covid I kept getting promotions. We need to open the economy up. We will do so much better under Trump. As much as she hates his style, she knows it’s true.

The optics were bad last night and I was embarrassed as an American to see that on stage. However, I think once people digest the information, it will be a win for Trump.

Chris Wallace was an embarrassment. He let Biden lie, and did not let Trump have a rebuttal.
A vote FOR Biden is a vote for lawlessness and disorder, higher taxes, and the destruction of freedom.

Chris Wallace was in an untenable spot. Trump was like corralling a bucking bronco.

I don’t like his style. I’d prefer to listen to someone like Reagan, which admittedly is a high bar.

I can deal with his bombastic style over someone who may be more presidential in style but will fold to radicalism.

i don't claim any affiliation with a particular party.
the Republican party left me years ago.

i vote with my heart.

the Democrats are insane (commies) and the Republicans are a close second.



Trump is a patriot and only wants whats best for the country. we are in a cultural war and have been for years.

draining the swamp will take more than just the president.

There really isn't any choice here. One wants higher taxes and shut it down and the other doesn't. If you own or work for any business Trump is the only choice regardless of his lack of statesmanship.

A racist simply does not do what Trump has done for black and brown people in this country.

Ask yourself, if Obama/Biden and Dems care about blacks so much, why did they do NOTHING improve the black condition in this country over their 8 years? Why do they allow such shite schools, high crime, high poverty, and low opportunity in the cities they've run for 50+ years?

Wallace should have badgered and forced Biden to denounce ANTIFA. Wallace wasn't an impartial, fair moderator.

You sound rational. Good for you. Re racism response, etc., consider the following:

Wallace asked Trump to denounce white supremacists AND militias.

Compound nature of Wallace's question was intended to conflate "militia groups" with white supremacist group.

Militia =/= white supremacist group.

Proud Boys =/= white supremacist group.

Trump's reference to PB =/= endorsement of or "dog whistle" to white supremacist group.

Your title should have been - I am an independent thinker and independent voter that decided on Trump last night.

Finding independent thinkers to vote Trump is the whole crux of this election.

Biden lied lol?
Everything Trump said was a lie.

They had a story about it on the local news and everything he said was a lie except that he got backing from 250 generals.
Biden got backing from 350

Trump will be happy to have your vote but you taking this long to come to the realization is extremely concerning.

Good move bisonduck.

You listen to Chuck Schumer and the radicals about them wanting to make Puerto Rico and D.C. a state, where it is likely 3 of the 4 senators would be democrat, get rid of the filibuster, and increase the SCOTUS judges and fill them with liberals. This is their plan.

Then you hear Kamala and Joe refuse to answer these questions, and you know exactly what will happen.

Removing the filibuster completely removes any minority power in the senate and it will be complete control by the Marxist to do anything they want with no recourse, no negotiation required, and they will pack the circuit courts with liberal freaks.

This isn't just about the economy, this is about keeping a constitutional govt with checks and balances and keeping one party tyranny out of the constitutional govt.

Did your local news discuss Biden’s many lies, which btw was the main reason for Trumps interruptions.

This may be one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Decisions based on emotion, rarely work out well.

Exactly! Trump has publicly denounced and condemned white supremacists in the past. Why do they keep asking him to do this? We all know why. Got to attempt to reinforce the idea that he, and the Republicans are racist, even though the evidence is contrary.

When 25 million mail-in ballots show up for Biden, Trump will lose. The CORRUPTION is massive and universally the new norm of behavior.
