Chris Wallace Was Obnoxious and Acted More like a Participant than a Moderator.!

Chris is to the left of his father, who was a strong Democrat. Everyone that knows him knows that.Some observations:
I don't particularly like Chris Wallace, but he is no leftist, as far as I can tell.
It seemed like Trump would interrupt Joe while Joe was about to make a huge mistake and say something really stupid, and Chris would try to keep Trump from stopping Joe from gaffing.
At the same time, Wallace appeared to be doing his best to prevent an outright slaughter on the police/law and order issue.
Wallace talked about "climate change" as if it were a fact/"settled science" and expected Trump to accept that framing.
Wallace didn't give Trump a fair shot to actually condemn any alleged white supremacist organizations, as if it were factual that Trump would not condemn such groups.
Wallace did allow both to throw around accusations at each other.
The entire thing was a chimp pooh-flinging contest.
Fox employs at least two democratic shills Donna Brazile and Chris Wallace being the most notable. Would not be surprised to learn Wallace gave Biden advance notice of the debate questions
Did the best he could with what was in front of him. He tried being a ringmaster but what was needed was a drill sergeant who was going to get nasty. Were it me, I'd have gotten hostile the second time Trump started with his bullshit (I'd have given him a mully for the first one). The mods should have the ability to mute a mic. Trump deserved that. Same thing I would have done to Biden as well after repeated interruptions. This isn't a schoolyard brawl. There has to be some level of decorum. But Trump couldn't even abide by that.
Trump owns this disaster (as he does many over the last 3.5+ years). He knew he was going to get creamed so he came in and set the place on fire.
Fox News host Chris Wallace, a registered Democrat, faced intense backlash on Tuesday night for what was widely deemed as bias in the debate in the favor of Democrat Joe Biden and against Republican President Donald Trump.
One of the issues that Wallace was called out for the most was how he appeared to let Biden interrupt Trump but would jump in to interrupt Trump when Trump would talk over Biden.
BJ -
Most objective people knew going in that Wallace is a never trumper who would do what he did.
No one should have been shocked.
Very disappointed in Chris Wallace. Though I know him to be a left leaning individual, I also always thought that he was a mostly objective journalist who did a better job than most journalists at not letting his political beliefs show professionally. Not so sure anymore. He allowed Joe Biden to avoid and evade direct and specific answers to questions, and worse, let Joe Biden use the debate as a political ad, by allowing him to speak directly to the camera rather than speak to the moderator and his debate opponent as it supposed to be. He allowed Joe Biden to simply regurgitate the pablum his staff fed him over the past weeks of prep, not pressing him so he would actually have to speak on a subject "off the cuff" and prove his cognitive abilities were up to the job of President of the United States.
Not sure who actually "won" the debate, but it is perfectly clear who lost. Chris Wallace.

I disagree with this part: He allowed Joe Biden to avoid and evade direct and specific answers to questions.
I saw him, on multiple occasions, trying to pin Biden down, but Trump kept interrupting.
"but Trump kept interrupting."
That may be true, but it's a poor excuse. He was the Moderator. He should have been in control of the debate regardless of the participants actions. He should not have allowed Trumps interruptions to absolve Biden from answering the question.
Agree, BUT, he should not have ALLOWED those interruptions PERIOD. And there were time limits for each segment, so they had to move on.
"Agree, BUT, he should not have ALLOWED those interruptions PERIOD."
There is no BUT needed. I have already said I agreed that President Trump interrupted ( not that Former Vice President Biden didn't). I have also stated that leaning on the fact that there were interruptions like a crutch for doing a poor job of Moderating is a poor excuse. Now you want to cut Chris Wallace more slack, saying that time constraints "forced" him to "move on" ? REALLY? HE WAS THE MODERATOR. His one and only job that night was to maintain control and decorum, ask the questions, and get the participants to answer those questions for the American people so they could decide on a candidate to support. He failed, why do you feel compelled to make excuses for him? Why must the Left ALWAYS make excuses?
Oh I don't disagree with you on Wallace. I'm pointing out certain REALITIES of how debates are set up. They have get through a set number of topics in a set time frame. PART of the job of the moderator is to keep it MOVING. That's the ONLY part Wallace got right.
As for excuses, why does the right keep excusing Trump's behavior as "Trump being Trump"?
Behavior? What? Did the American people vote in an election to send someone to Finishing School to learn proper etiquette? NO. They elected someone to be President of the United States. To defend the Constitution and look out for America's and Americans' best interest....and that is EXACTLY what he has done. If your biggest concern is whether or not the President knows which fork to use for the salad....YOU probably shouldn't be voting.

They supposedly voted for a president.
They got a boorish clown who's main motivation is self interest and enrichment.
Surely that has little to do with table top etiquette, but if your aim is to degrade the office, then well done. You've accomplished a lot in 4 years with that alone.
Trump called wallace out in the first 5 minutes saying...I guess I'm debating you now.
About 3 quarters of the way thru...Trump almost had wallace in tears...I LOVED IT!

Marie Harf
Juan Williams
Chris Hahn
The Lincoln/Douglas debate platform is perfect..Ultimately, the problem is nobody has figured out and composed the best rules for conducting the deliberate debate that people are searching for.
LOLWallace is not to blame. Trump acted in bad faith.

We voted for a President
We got a President that has turned out to be even better than advertised.
I realize that you will not agree with that -
The point that won't penetrate your bubble is that Millions of people respect the work that he is doing.
The fact that people of your ilk don't like him - simply reinforces how right we are.
