LIVE at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Sept. 29: President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden take part in the first presidential debate between the two candidates. The Cleveland, Ohio event is moderated by “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace.
You stated Wallace was essentially fair, did a good job — but the debate was otherwise a disaster.
Our future hangs in the balance, and you seem to think it’s acceptable for Wallace to shape the debate with his obvious favor and empathy for Biden.
Now who’s the “silly” one?

President trump bullying
CNN guy now Giving kudos to wallace
That’s an interesting opinion, but there’s no good reason for Trump to commend Beau Biden for his military service. That would be inappropriate respect being shown to Joe, who is part of a crooked group of lying, cheating propagandists known as the Democrat/Media political machine, who are constantly distorting Trump’s statements and policies and using slick propaganda techniques to try to make him look bad. Showing unnecessary respect for people like this would be groveling to someone who’s trying to crush the President politically. A normal American who isn’t lying and distorting the President’s statements and policies would deserve that kind of comment about his son. But Biden doesn’t deserve it, because he has such a lack of respect for President Trump and Trump’s family.
Trump is speaking to the 20% in the middle, but not in the way you think he should. Remember the old saying from the advertising industry: “the medium is the message”. That means the way someone talks is just as important as the words that he says. Trump speaks with a lot of strength and fight, and that’s what people want in their President—someone who will fight for America and fight for them.
I agree that Trump did not win over anyone undecided. But he may have lost them.
The questions to Biden were culled from his speeches. Rehearsed talking points. Didn’t hear him say anything he hasn’t said for 6 months.
Hunter isn’t her son.
Haven’t watched Wallace’s show in years, and I watch Fox a LOT!
Even heard Wallace say a few days ago that in moderating the debates, he wanted his role to be one that was almost “invisible”.
So much for THAT idea!!!
I don’t trust even the early voting. You never know who is “working” at the voting place. Our voting day we have computers that are connected to the Capital where it is immediately goes up on the state or county figures. I will vote on Nov. 3rd in person.
That’s true, it’s all over FB and Twitter conservative pages.
Joe’s beady eyes always look like that. Like he’s the kid from Deliverance all grown up.
It was not a debate this time
Drugs! He had no whites in his eyes!!! Dead eyes. Totally black. That’s why they asked for a drug test.
I have heard commentators remark a number of times during previous elections that candidates are coached to ignore the question asked to a degree, in order to get in what they want to say, and to be assertive by strategically interrupting their opponent. Trump may have done a little too much interrupting, but had he laid back and followed the format Wallace’s obviously biased “moderating” would have only allowed him a few uninterrupted seconds each time to try to defend himself against a flurry of “tell us why you’re not the evil ogre everyone knows you are” type questions. Add Biden’s constant stream of lies and Trump was in an impossible situation. I thought Trump came out well prepared and mostly did what he had to do to break through Wallace’s attempt to wall him in.
In a way, this debate was emblematic of how the left has attacked Trump since the day he was elected: They always smear Trump and then act shocked and offended when he simply tries to defend himself.
I’ve never liked Chris Wallace, but he was truly despicable tonight.
The next five days will be lid days for Joe.
That would have been classy.

Oh, because we REALLY need a “classy” President.
Go vote for a Bush.
You have no idea what you are talking about. You are used to the old fashioned debate style that cost Repubs numerous times, Trump realized he was fighting the media and Senile Joe. Come back when you know what you are talking about in a social media world.
Chris Wallace was running interference for Biden. He regularly interrupted Trump and challenged what he said. He never did that for Biden.
Chris Wallace will not let President Trump challenge Biden, but he has no problem Biden doing the same to Pres. Trump.

Yup, and
All Biden did was lie and deny
Wallace is scum , as bad as Joe. And why was Wallace calling joe
“Vice president”
He’s not
Both Wall ass and Joe acted like no American has been witnessing the media documenting the vote fraud and abuse every day for over a week in live color !!!
Not to mention the dencommieblmantifa domestic terrorists burning, looting, robbing, raping and murdering across the country for months.
Tell you what,,I’ll not watch another debate with the media/Biden tag team.
What a f#cking farce.
Dan Bongino for moderator and I’ll watch another debate.
If not f@ck the media , I refuse to give them ratings by even surfing by their channels.
SPIT
Just utterly disgusted and angry and fed up with the demented and perverted evil demedia.
