Wallace was a disgrace as expected.
Clearly, debates could be managed much better, with less biased moderators. Microphones should go on/come off for the allotted time, when that time starts and stops. It shouldn’t be a free-for-all.
But the important people seem fine with things just the way they are.
I disagree. Trump needs to tighten up in the next debate. The best thing to do is let Biden talk. It’s when Biden is best at showing his dementia and dumbassery. Then Trump can call him out on his time.
I understand what Trump was trying to do — and he was debating two people after all and struggling to get fair time. But Trump needs a bit of a calmer approach next time, and allow Biden to drive off his own cliff.
Trump was NOT going tp let Biden lie his arce off. Of course he interrupted. Wallace supported Biden all through this except for one occasion.
Chrissy Wallace. Otherwise known as the weasel.
Here is a Wallace interjection I remember:
Trump was talking about the BIG DEMOCRAT cities with increasing crime.
WALLACE INTERJECTS: “But Tulsa and Ft Worth are run by REPUBLICANS and their crime is also increasing”
A great Trump line on the long winded questions by Wallace should have been, "Are you here to make speeches, or ask questions?"
Trump interrupted Joe too much. Let the dude talk. He got Biden's adrenaline going, hiding the dementia. With that said, I get it, I thought it was great to go after him right away.
IMHO, Trump blew it. He appeared impatient, bullying, and interrupted Biden too much. Trump failed to disavow white supremacy and didn’t explain how silly man caused global warming is. He also did not make clear that he would accept the election results if he loses.Wallace was obviously in the bag for Biden but Trump looked ill prepared for even that well known in advance situation. Disappointing.
The apple didn’t fall far from the tree, at least no in Chris’ case. He’s a liberal asshole just like his old man.
Wallace should have shut up and let Trump talk - he made the debate unbearable.
He could have then granted equal time to Biden to respond... but the constant bickering and debate FROM WALLACE was terrible.
He was nearly as bad as Candy Crowley in the Romney-Obama debates.
> Wallace’s intent was clear – sabotage Trump. <
And whose fault is that? Wallace is a registered Democrat. That’s common knowledge (you can look it up). So I give a fair amount of the blame to the GOP (and yes, to Trump too).
This happens every four years. The Commission on Presidential Debates sets up the debates. They always pick leftist moderators. And the GOP always follows right along, just like a little puppy dog.
Instead, why not have each candidate pick two panelists? And have them agree on a neutral moderator, whose only job is to keep time. Nothing could be fairer.
But no one on the GOP side - including Trump - has demanded any such thing. So we get played, time and time again.
Total Pinocchios for Biden ????!!!!
The President lost this battle but in service of winning the larger war. His pugilistic personae is off-putting, perhaps outright rude. He should have had modestly more restraint.
But Biden made critical mistakes, borderline fatal. And because the Dems are always intent on losing to President Trump, they will follow up with more mistakes. One of those mistakes may be to infer that they have a larger lead than they actually have. If so, count on them to cancel the debate rematch and keep Biden in the basement through election day as a relentless President Trump continues to hammer him on dozens of issues at rally after rally. Rather than apologize for his debate performance, count on President Trump to keep referring back to it. ‘Antifa is just an idea? Really, Joe? Hey Joe, do you still have zero endorsements from law enforcement organizations? Joe, take a look please at the unemployment rates in open red states versus closed blue states. ...’
What kind of performance enhancing drug was Biden on that caused his eyes to be so dialated?
Wallace indicated that white supremacists stirred up trouble in Kenosha. Did I miss that? Sure, unhinged leftist claimed Rittenhouse and those with him were white supremacists but based on what?
From the article.... “Wallace even brought up the Charlottesville charge but did not admit it was a manufactured lie without giving Trump the time to deny the lie.”
Why should a manufactured lie be brought up so that Trump has to spend his time denying or refuting a lie? If a manufactured lie is to be brought up in this circumstance, then it should have been posed only to Biden ... after all he claims he decided to run for POTUS b/c of Charlottesville,... and make him square his decision to run (which Trump said that was was not true) with a manufactured lie.
I completely disagree with the folks here that thought Trump should have done things differently. His job was to rattle Biden, not debate.
His job was to get Biden to stammer, to spout nonsense, to alienate the hard left base, to defend the indefensible...and to generate clips for ads. Debating was not the game plan.
Trump succeeded.
AGREE 100% with this article.
Having been in the Charlottesville - having seen the helicopter burning — everything Biden said was an outright LIE!
I’m sure President Trump (not Sir, as Wallace kept saying) — is stressed out and done with the BS!!!
I know I am - and so are alot more people across the nation!
Who didn’t see that coming?
