Increasingly, these debates are about messaging to a small sliver of voters who remain undecided about who they’ll cast their vote for in the presidential election. So how did the candidates do, reaching out to those who are not yet in anyone’s camp? And – how clear a picture did either of them give of what their administration would do?

Zoe Clark of Michigan Public and former Michigan Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville joined Created Equal on Wednesday to discuss the key takeaways from the debate.
