Buried deep in a report from the New York Times on voters' responses to Thursday night's debate between President Joe Biden and ex-president Donald Trump, two Republican voters in swing state Pennsylvania came away still not sure about the ex-president.
While there has been universal dismay among Democrats about Biden's stumbling appearance, Trump's performance — riddled with lies — has been lost in the post-debate Democratic panic.
Speaking with the Times, Pennsylvania retirees, Bob and Sharon Reed, both 77 and Republicans, went into the debate with an open-mind although Bob claimed he was leaning “a hair” towards Trump.
Neither was satisfied with what they witnessed on Thursday night.

"Ms. Reed was at a complete loss as to whom she would vote for. They ended the night feeling the same way, only more so," the report states before adding, "'Biden looked kind of dejected,' Mr. Reed said. 'Trump was more presidential. Though he didn’t answer the questions.'”
The Times report added, "Ms. Reed agreed about Mr. Biden’s performance. But her focus was on Mr. Trump. 'He honestly did not answer questions that to me were critical,' she said. She mentioned in particular his avoidance of a clear answer when asked whether he would honor the results of the election. And she did not like his answer about Jan. 6, in which Mr. Trump blamed the former House speaker Nancy Pelosi."
“I’m still at the point where I don’t want to vote for either one of them,” she told the Times before lamenting, “I don’t like what I do know about Biden, but I’m scared about what I don’t know about Trump.”
