CLEVELAND - On the eve of the first presidential debate, Chris Wallace of Fox News declared his goal as the evening's moderator:"My job is to be as invisible as possible." Quite.

"Mr President, I am the moderator of this debate, and I would like you to let me ask my question and then you can answer it," Wallace, sounding more headmaster than moderator, instructed Mr Trump early on. In a brute-force style, Mr Trump flouted the agreed-upon ground rules and refused to allow Mr Biden his two minutes to respond to questions, leaving Wallace yelping at one point:"Let him answer."

"I guess I'm debating you, not him, but that's OK. I'm not surprised," Mr Trump said after one query from Wallace which he disliked.

Let me give an example: if someone say ruling party calling for 10 million population in Singapore and Vivian not given chance to reply, that wouldn't be fair.

Should have stated no blame and for each candidate to state their action plan. Calling for answer for insubstantial news during election period isn't helping in the debate.

That’s a hot take if I’ve ever seen one. Wow.
