The moderators did a good job tonight

Thought the amount of fact checking was appropriate.

My only criticism is that they let him back in to vent too many times.

However, this was a tough job. I think both acquitted themselves well.

Thank you both—Lynsey Davis and David Muir.

1. I'll agree..but..they could have muted him more but the fact checking made up for it

2. Allowing him to vent helped gave him more minutes

which I did not like and then when Kamala Harris wanted to address something the POS said, they cut her off. Also, calling him "President" was not appropriate. But they did significantly better than Bash and Tapper

6. The extra minutes only hurt him. They did great. I recommend Tapper and Bash's comments tonight

right after the debate. Of course, VP Harris is the star.

4. Even hit him hard with a few fact-checks. Saw where Rubio said trump did so poorly because of mods.

Big losers always blame mods.

But also have him more time, so I see it as a wash. His problem is he can't shut up and can't help but say stupid things. Not the moderators fault.

8. I mostly agree. I wonder how many minutes each had because he kept getting the last word.
