Chris Wallace Picks Debate Topics, Appears to Omit Several Key Issues Wallace
Breitbart ^ | September 22 2020 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 09/22/2020 12:38:50 PM PDT by SmokingJoe

Fox News’ Chris Wallace, the moderator for the first presidential debate of the general election next Tuesday, has chosen the topics that President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden will face — and appears to have omitted several key issues.

In a press statement, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced Tuesday:

The first presidential debate will be held on Tuesday, September 29 at Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, OH. The format for the first debate calls for six 15-minute time segments dedicated to topics announced in advance in order to encourage deep discussion of the leading issues facing the country.

Chris Wallace, moderator of the first 2020 presidential debate, has selected the topics for that debate.

Subject to possible changes because of news developments, the topics for the September 29 debate are as follows, not necessarily to be brought up in this order:

The Trump and Biden Records

The Supreme Court

Covid-19

The Economy

Race and Violence in our Cities

The Integrity of the Election

All debates start at 9:00 p.m. ET and run for 90 minutes without commercial interruption.

The list excludes foreign policy, abortion, climate change, immigration, health care, education, and other issues voters consider important, though it is possible they could be included under other rubrics, or brought up by the candidates.

Given that Trump’s opponent is Joe Biden ... Trump should easily ace every one of those categories and expose Biden as lost in the weeds.

The Trump and Biden Records

Pedo Joe will probably talk about his collection of Hispanic records, like Despacito.

Trump ought to change topics on Sleepy in responding to Wallace, get some jabs in and then circle back to the subject at hand and then say “what about that Joe?”.. Sleepy will go “umm.. turn on your phonograph”

Maybe, and I’m just spitballing here, he’ll be bold and ask Biden if HE will accept the results of the election like he has twice asked Donald? Be bold Chris and don’t be a liberal tool like everyone is thinking you are.

Agreed. The public is so thoroughly brainwashed on global warming that it’s omission is a big plus

“Mr. Trump, could you explain what you have against black people, and why you think they have no right to protest the racism which you and your supporters have exhibited for years?”

Good question. Supposedly this commission on debates is non partisan, but in being allegedly non partisan, they always pick moderators who are clearly liberal in their “journalism” or “commentary”.

Can you imagine a debate with a moderator such as Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh?

I will make one prediction right now. Regardless of what is said by whom, the media will all declare that Joe is the “winner” of the debate. They will say he courageously fought back and defended his record against Trump.

They will say that Joe showed incredible command of the issues, as he recounted actions taken during his 47 year political career.

They will say that Trump lied, as fact checkers will check up on what Trump says, but not what Biden says.

An anonymous source has handed me the questions that Wallace is going to ask Biden:

Question to Mr. Biden: Can you think of one thing in the Trump record that could by any stretch of the imagination described as being good?

Question to Mr. Biden: How awesome would your nominee to the Supreme Court be compared to the loathsome creatures that Trump has inflicted upon us?

Question to Mr. Biden: Is it true that Trump is responsible for every single death from COVID?

Question to Mr. Biden: How much greater would a Biden economy be by now?

Question to Mr. Biden: Do you think that Trump’s racist rhetoric is responsible for all racism and racial tension in this country?

Question to Mr. Biden: Are you prepared to be defeated because the Russians are again helping Trump win this election like they did in 2016?

I have every confidence that if Wallace asks POTUS if he will accept the election result, that he will come right back at him, with, “I’ll answer that question as soon as you ask Joe the SAME question.”

Can't let the voters know about Trump's success in brokering Mideast treaties between Israel and the Arabs.

PDJT knows Wallace is the spawn of his evil father Mike and is therefore an enemy, so IMO it’s going to be a jousting match, with Sleepy Joe watching from the sidelines.

Biden will bow out of the debate as a protest against the Supreme Court pick

Carefully crafted topics and questions that Joe B might be able to manage to answer without soiling himself.

In other news, the MSM is pre-declared Biden the winner of the debate.

I'm with you, Appy...I will be amazed if Sleepy actually shows up for this dog and pony show.

“... topics announced in advance in order to encourage deep discussion of the leading issues facing the country.“

Topics are announced in advance so Hiden Biden can get his script ready.

I hope the Trump campaign is bringing a jammer to jam whatever frequency the Biden campaign is using to feed the answers to Joe’s earbud.
