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

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.

There won’t be any debates. Lunchbucket Joe will be a no-show, and his handlers are working on it.

Can anyone explain why there are two locations listed?

Nobody can stop Trump from bringing up other subjects.

He can also begin his response with “I’ve got a better question.”

“topics announced in advance in order to encourage deep discussion” That isn’t the reason. Wallace is trying to help Biden so he won’t be caught off guard and have to fumble his way and actually think. Wallace is scum

There’s a long and ugly tradition of presidential debate moderators trying to take down the GOP candidate: remember Martha Raddatz and Candy Crowley?

What’s Chris Wallace going to do?

Trump will get to make an opening statement in which he is able to say anything he wants; plus he can hi-jack the other subjects to press his case on just about anything.

Actually it will much tougher than that.
