WallASS is nuts or a good liar. Or both. To be a good partisan hack you have to be both.

“I’m trying to get them to engage…to focus on the key issues…to give people at home a sense of why they want to vote for one versus the other,” he said. “If I’ve done my job right, at the end of the night, people will say, ‘That was a great debate, who was the moderator?’”

BaHaha! Yeah,...

that didn't happen

“He’s likely the only one Biden would agree to be the moderator from Fox News in a debate.”

Good point.

You should listen to Bill O Reilly’s critique. Wallace screwed up big time!

Wallace seemingly hurried to introduce the next question every time Biden insulted Trump imo. So Wallace was arguably driving Biden’s getaway car imo.

But Trump gave Wallace a few flat tires.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.

Insights welcome.

Wallace's bias was most evident in two ways:

  1. Whenever President Trump made a strong attack on Biden, instead of letting Biden respond, Wallace would change the subject and give Biden a new question to answer.
  2. Whenever Biden said something clearly false, like quoting the discredited Atlantic story of Trump calling the military "suckers," Wallace should have interrupted Biden to say that story was walked back, but he never did.

As a debate moderator, Wallace's big problem is that he treats it like a Sunday show interview.

Wallace winds up a big question with a preamble using prior quotes and recent event references, and then tries to string all of that into a "gotcha" question.

The problem is that in a debate, that takes up too much time and the debaters are anxious to get going. As soon as Wallace says something incomplete or out of context, President Trump jumped in to dispute the question.

It's Wallace's own fault for not setting up a simple question and letting the candidates take turns answering. When Wallace asks Trump about "$750 per year income tax," how can Biden fairly answer that question other than to use it to attack Trump?

If Wallace asked "What is your opinion on releasing personal information like tax returns and medical records?" to each of them, that would be a simple and fair question. But he doesn't do that.

Chris Wallace did not know about DNI’s declassification about Hillary’s creation of the Russia-Trump collusion hoax!

Poor journalism! Disqualifying!!!

Yup. This will be the first time in my lifetime that I vote straight ticket for a party. I usually put a lot of thought into each candidate and so while it is mostly GOP, not entirely. This year, with the opposing party basically supporting Antifa terrorists in favor of burning it all down to create some socialist utopia, doesn’t seem like any other sensible option than straight ticket.

Exactly. Trump set the tone immediately with Wallace. Biden wasn’t even on the stage. I am convinced that Trump baited Wallace throughout the debate and got him to confirm his entire theme of FAKE NEWS.. He forced him to take Biden’s side which immediately neutralized Biden and made anything Biden said irrelevant. Trump set up his own gang bang.

Wallace sucked. Every question was bullshit.

“Biden, you say Trump calling white nationalists at Charlottesville good people inspired you to run... Please explain.
Trump, will you finally disavow white supremacist militias?

Trump, you only paid 750 bucks in taxes...

Trump, after a peaceful protest in front of the White House, you had National Guard gas the crowd so you could wave a Bible in front of a church (forgetting the peaceful crowd burned it and was threatening to try to storm the White House and dozens of Secret Service agents were attacked and sent to the hospital.)

Trump, will you commit to a peaceful transfer of power. (never noticing he was never given one in 2016)

Trump, will you tell you supporters that they should ignore the election results for a few weeks (until the dems spend 2 weeks manufacturing votes after knowing how many they need).

Trump, do you think it’s wrong for you to nominate a Supreme court justice?

And then every other answer Trump began was interrupted with Wallace saying his answer was touching on something he intended to ask about later.

It was literally the worst debate ever, and it was because Wallace was a player, not a disinterested questioner.
