"Trump needs to make the debate about Hunter Biden. Hammer home what a do nothing father and coke fiend Hunter is."

You do realize that Joe Biden is running for President, not Hunter Biden? It's a good thing you're not a political advisor, but if you were, you should work for the Democrats.

Was that before or after Trump brought down on the house by telling her she should be in jail?

I did not see it that way. I thought Mrs. Bill Clinton won the first debate on points by a squeaker. In the second debate Trump kicked Mrs. Bill Clinton’s arse up one side and down the other. I saw the third debate as a draw and I kept wanting Trump to go for the jugular of Mrs. Bill Clinton but he never did.

“Never explain yourself to anyone. The person who likes you will not need it. The person who dislikes it will not believe it.” - Ziad K. Abdelnour

Everyone who supports the President already knows most of the news despises him and already does not care about any question Wallace will ask. Biden has the bar set so low for him, he only has to show up and look healthy. I doubt he can pull that off without acting medicated. During the debates Trump will give the answers he has been giving unfiltered by the news. Biden will have to answer for the Democrat's pro-George Orwell, pro-Mad Max platform that is in the streets.

Having debates is a low risk for the President and a high risk for Democrats and the news media. Trump has already won the debates, its just a matter of making it formal.

President Trump will destroy both Biden and Chrissy Wallace.

Talk about uneven playing field. Trump agrees to debates and the left wing decide on one of the most virulent enemies Trump has to moderate?

Actually, I'm on the fence about this.

We saw how Wallace handled candidate Trump in the 2016 Republican, but he came with "zingers" for all of the candidates. FNC basically turned that debate into a series of cage matches between the candidates.

I don't think Wallace was overtly biased towards Hillary Clinton in 2016. I think he made a mistake at the end of the debate when he asked Trump about accepting the results of the election but then forgot to ask Clinton the same question because time was running out.

That oversight gave the Clintons and the liberal MSM a gift of a talking point against Trump that Trump wasn't able to respond with in kind.

“LOVE to see a free for all of Trump against Wallace.”

I don’t expect it to be a free for all, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump has to debate Wallace a few times.

My one liner would be: “Am I debating Biden or you? It seems like I’m debating you. Why can’t Biden speak for himself?”

Wallace’s question to Biden: “Mr. Vice President, what is the worst thing about the divisive President Trump?”

Wallace’s question for Trump: “Mr. President, do you want to take this opportunity to apologize to the American people for your bungling of the Covid crisis which has, so far, led to the death of more than a quarter million Americans, with no end in sight?”

I agree. If Chris injects himself, debate him and crush him and sideline Biden

In debates, I look at Time Of Possession, or time a person speaks driving his point home. So if Chris injects himself, if robs Biden of time and then Biden’s moments will be one of him struggling to keep up.

Trump is smart—If Wallace give any one sided questions it will be naked. He is forced to be even handed—even if he gives the questions to Biden first. It will be there for all to see. Wallace will be forced to be even handed—any hard questions for Trump will be hard for Biden or Wallace will be seen as a partisan hack. He is dammed if he tries to be favoring one over the other.

Respectfully I don’t think Trump is great at debates. Clinton demolished him.

Proof positive of what happens to posters when government relaxes drug laws...

Trump is a loose cannon—he will be all over Biden and even with Wallace’s help—Biden is going to have a hard time. Biden, an old time politico—may surprise all and do a competent Job. Still, ONE bad answer is all it takes. Remember the Jimmy Carter Debate when he said Amy gave him advise on Nuclear War?

“TRUMP should bypass WALLACE and ask directly ask SLO JOE unrelated questions.”

My feelings exactly. Trump must assume that Biden will have the questions in advance, with plenty of time to practice his responses. Trump can seize the initiative when he bypasses the questions of Chris Wallace, and asks Biden directly some questions that he has not prepared for, nor his earpiece spokesperson cannot keep up with. That’s when the popcorn comes out.
