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.

One can carefully craft til the cows come home and Joe may still soil himself. It would be interesting to know what the hand signal is for that.

Hunter Biden got the equivalent of $30 Million dollars a YEAR from the Chinese - for nothing.

And Wallace isn’t going to ask about that!

Outrageous!

“WHAY ARE LIBERALS ALWAYS RUNNING THESE DEBATES???“

Why would the debates be any less fake than the fake news? It’s the same people.

Slow Joe is a person who can’t even read canned answers to planted questions from a friendly gerbilist from a teleprompter. It will be glaringly obvious he’s being mollycoddled.

Biden’s pick for the Supreme Court would either be Obama or Hillary. That’s why he won’t name them!

...I have no faith whatsoever in this clown Wallace... he isn’t half the journalist his father was, and his father was pretty liberal if I recall... if his name was Chris Jones or Chris Smith or Chris Bowcowski, we woulda never heard of him. I don’t trust him to be objective to Mr. Trump....not in the least....

Wallace is a trained, paid, preening
toadie for Soros, and Delecto-Romney (partners).

The interrupting a-hole Wallace should have
been avoided for bias,
and if honest would ask about Burisma and Soros
since THEY ARE DESTROYING AMERICA.

will he?

Wallace to Trump: “Why are you an evil man and when did you stop beating your wife?”
Wallace to Biden: “Why do you think Trump is an evil man and why do you think he beats his wife?”

Those topics were for Trump.

Biden's questions with no help from the audience and he has 10 minutes to answer each question:

Can you touch the Red ballon?

Can you touch the Blue ballon?

Can you touch the Black ballon....

I am a bit cautious on all that.
Notice how Slow Joe has been hiding in his basement for the past two weeks, only venturing out for very short periods of time?
My own feeling is, they have been given the questions and his handlers have been busy pumping him with the answers so much so that even a caveman would remember the answers when the debate comes up.
Never underestimate the Dems and the deep state.

...look at Pookie’s Toons today....

Wallace’s question to Biden:
“If you could be any tree, which tree would you be...?
Biden to Wallace, while looking at his teleprompter...
“A pine tree....”

That would be fun. Especially the look in Joe’s eyes when loud static is all
he hears

Is it typical for the moderator to provide a list of topics for the debate? If not this seems to be designed to favor Biden by limiting the amount of prep he would have to do.

Yes. There have always been “domestic”, “economy”, “foreign”, Etc. topics for debates.

Questions like this make me wonder if people commenting have ever seen a Presidential debate? Or did you not pay attention?

“Or did you not pay attention?”

I don’t use Presidential debates to decide on a candidate so I rarely watch them.

Everybody expects POTUS to be the attack dog in these debates. but all he has to do is stay focused, be congenial and NOT attack him like he does at the rallies!.

IOW, let Sloe Joe be the bad cop! Sloe Joe will screw up without POTUS having to force any issues.

And POTUS is quite capable of responding in a polite, reasoned manner that is sure to put Sloe Joe off his game.

Of course, if Sloe Joe elects to slug it out, toe to toe, POTUS will clean his clock!
