Wallace was heavily criticized for losing control of the debate almost immediately as Trump constantly interrupted Biden and Wallace, even after the moderator repeatedly pleaded with the candidates to civilly discuss key issues.
In hindsight, Wallace said he agreed with his critics, admitting,"I don’t know that I ever really did" seize control of the debate. But the veteran anchor said he didn't have"advance warning" of Trump’s game plan. "I’ve read some of the reviews, I know people think, Well, gee, I didn’t jump in soon enough," Wallace told the Times Wednesday."I guess I didn’t realize – and there was no way you could – that this was going to be the president’s strategy, not just for the beginning of the debate but the entire debate.”"I think that the country would be better served if we allowed both people to speak with fewer interruption.
He just doesn’t have the presence to pull it off
Not a Chris Wallace fan. Not even close.
Next time, pls invite a military Sergeant w a commanding loud voice 2 2B moderator & enforce the time limit. DT won’t try 2 bully her.
Chris Wallace needed an air horn.
He failed. Big time.
Mr. Wallace, you knew exactly what you were doing. Who in the world could possibly have believed you would be a good moderator for this debate? You have been anti-Trump since the very outset. So, disappointed in the results? I seriously doubt it!
Chris Wallace is a liberal whimp who was out of his league lol Trump got the best of him and Biden by feeding them the chaos that the democrats are subjecting the American people to on a daily basis!
I would love to see live, on line polls which measure a sample groups opinion of what is being said at the moment. A barometer with scoreboard visible to everyone..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 no you didn't
He was awful.
Chris Wallace, you showed you’re a biased prick. Not sad to dump you as a credible new source after that performance, Fox should do the same but they have sadly slide into the sewer as of late as well...
We are not disappointed with the results.
Chris should know Trump by now! He's a big mouth liar with no sense of respect for America or individuals who dare to question his mountain of failures.
I like Chris Wallace
You interjected yourself into the debate way too much! Then you actually became the 3rd debater! Plus your glaring bias was on display for everyone to see! And you think you did a good job🤥🤮🤥
Biden was the only person on the stage who was there because of who he is. Trump and Wallace were there because of their daddies.
When you try to correct bad behavior in a child an hour after it starts you don’t have a chance. As Barney Fife said “nip it in the bud”. Trump made Wallace cower and tremble. He was afraid to try to make Trump act like a Grownup.
Chris Wallace was present but not sure he was acting as a moderator.
So is America Chris...
He did a piss poor job and he knows it. Poor choice for a moderator. Didn’t remain in a neutral position and that’s why he failed
Wallace U have been a moderator 4 many Presidents B4 In this Debate U Were Bias toward Biden N U R NOT SUPPOSE 2 take Sides N U DID PPL saw How U Would HELP Biden By NOT ALLOWING him 2 Answer the Tough Question The President Did Great N Held his Own But he was DEBATING with 2 PPL
You know a Trump is gonna try and get Fox to get you out.
With the constant movement in the value of Bitcoin, there is 10 times increase upon every investment made under the period of inbalance. What this means is that you can make as much as $10000 in a week with as low as $1000. Too Good to be True Right?.send a Dm for more info
Yes. Too bad he didn't realize earlier that he himself wasn't debating Trump! He rarely interrupted Biden. I wasn't surprised though. He was doing exactly what he was told to do- let sleepy Joe have the advantage
Look in the mirror, Chris Wallace! It's all you. All you. FoxNewsSunday
IAmSteveHarvey -next debate, please let Steve be the moderator, I am sure it will not go as this one played out!!!😀😀
Wallace interrupted Biden 15 times. He didn't call out any lies from Biden. Wallace interrupted Trump 76 times. He was obviously protecting BIden. The press has too because Biden is not all there.
He is a sham!
The best way for Wallace to let Biden and Trump know that they shouldn't interrupt each other was to...interrupt them to say that.
You maybe could have stood up and shut that hot mess down. Despicable. Embarrassing.
Yeah, you and the rest of the world.
Wallace tried to be the debate's star. Instead, he blew it. Will journalists ever stop trying to insert themselves into the story?
What’s not taken into account when setting the debate rules is that one of the participants will be a self centred recalcitrant child who has no respect for anyone.
Media milking the ad $$
It will be a wonderful day, when the Americans, Get to see fake news media, held accountable for their LIES. Obama/Biden, Hillary, CI, FBI, Obama’s officials, LAYERS, ALL HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR TREASON, AGAINST THE PRESIDENT. MOST PPL KNOW TODAY IN USA, THEY WHAT, JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Chris Wallace was a disaster.
Chris Wallace did not acknowledge that his own bias was a contributing factor in the chaos! It was blatantly obvious he was favoring Biden all the way! Totally unprofessional and a huge disappointment.
Really?
Yup!!!
Yeahhh... Given the phrasing of the questions I'm going to have to say that he was doomed to do a terrible job even before his terrible performance started.
He was awful and while Trump was interrupting, Biden was not answering direct questions and Wallace would say let’s move on
Given too much power, makes one think that rules do not apply to them.
How does Chris Wallace berate Trump on White Suprematist Groups but gives Biden a clean pass Democrats Liberals support of Antifa & Rioting...Extremely one side there! Wallace was obviously siding with Biden
There was nothing he could have done more than he did.
I thought Chris did the best anyone could have done. Trump is the president & Biden is former VP. How far can you go with guys like this? I thought Trump exposing himself on tv. was perfect!
Well then step down if that’s your best. Let someone non bias do such an important job for the American people. Chris was a complete disgrace and did NOTHING for the people of this country.
Yes, you should. You should have pressed Biden more for not answering your questions.
And we, Americans, are all disappointed in you Chris Wallace. Shame on your bias. SMH
The next debate although l hope there isn’t one bc it’ll be worse than yesterday’s bc it’s so close to election & Biden won’t get a word in, SHOULD be VIRTUAL. Trump & Biden in there own offices, a moderator, just like AC360 & DR GUPTA’s pandemic TV show
Who will manage next debate? Hopefully not Chris Wallwus.
ChrisWallace could have done much better, he could have controlled things better. He could have insisted on a mute function. Instead, he facilitated like he wanted to NOT lose future opportunities to interview Trump. I see this all the time with “homer” sports media types.
This proves the importance of Law & Order as realDonaldTrump has repeatedly said. ProLifeVoicesForTrump ProLife I am Pro-Life
Useless
As for any advice for Scully, Wallace warned: 'If either man goes down this road, I hope you’ll be quicker to realize what’s going on than I was.' Am disappointed too, good advise to Scully. Hope he will do better and debate to change to a better format.
Breaks silence? You know it was yesterday right?
chriswallace was like a frazzled mom who had lost control of her toddlers. Terrible moderator.
There needs to be more then one moderator. Harder questions.
no, you FAILED you actually spent time focusing on 'right wing' extremism when multiple cities have burned from leftist extremism.
FOX should fire you!
Wallace was a terrible moderator and his bias was evident in his treatment of Trump. He should never moderate again and he should be fired from FOX. He is hurting their ratings!
Did Chris Wallace screw up?
You were lousy Wallace!
The Chris Wallace debate disaster is it! I am finished with this bullshit fake news media for good. I know who I'm voting for in November. And turning these jackwagon's off for good! Trump2020LandslideVictory DrainTheSwamp
His lack of self-awareness rivals Hillary’s.
It ain’t easy dealing with a narcissistic psychopath like Trump. Like Sully says, we need to vote him out!
Chris runs to the NYT - you know he did poorly.
I drove my car into a tree. I'm disappointed in the tree and my smashed car. Smh.
Biden’s debate partner
Every trump right cross Wallace interrupted with a change of topic. Every time.
We go to the circus for the performances, not for the interruptions by the MC! Just let them go nuts on each other. For those looking for “Statesmen” and “Presidential” behavior, were you sleeping through the House and Senate hearings? Show me a single Statesman or Stateswoman!
Mr Wallace, this is not a typical high school debate, but the 'Real' debate where bullets flew & their emotions including the moderator were in sparkling display of their true colors where one wont be able to see in a normal debate.
Yes, although Wallace helped many times and allocated more time to Joe but Joe was no better
We’re disappointed too. His questions were weak. POTUS tells us daily, his positions on EVERYTHING. So we know. Joe is hidden away, drugged for dementia,given face lift,tons of face fillers injected & BOTOX so bewilderment doesn’t show on his face...to fool voters. Got a pass.
Mutterator. If that's the best he could do, he's an embarrassment. 'I have a question for you that you're going to like' to Trump. WTF? Soft pudding?
Chris Wallace was a DISASTER.
No you didn’t.
I love your unbiased self analysis, LOL. BTW, you were abysmal and that's about the only thing both sides could agree on.
I thought Wallace salvaged what he could of a vexing situation. I wouldn't have wanted to be in his chair.
Be more balanced next time.
It would have been more effective, in hindsight, if they were in separate Zoom rooms and timed and muted according to a schedule.
Sadly, Chris Wallace never stood a chance. After 2016 and virtually every public speaking event trump has bullied his way through as well as never having a plan, it shouldn't have surprised anyone. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpHasNoPlan TrumpIsANationalSecurityThreat
You showed Trump in a manner he really is.
The only thing Wallace could have done would be to tranquiliize the bellowing bull.
Chris was an outright partisan. The framing of his questions to Trump were outrageous and straight out of the left's talking points. Trump didn't cancel 'racial sensitivity training', he canceled the cult like ideology of Critical Race Theory which came from Marxist academics.
Wallace coaching Biden when he lost concentration was unforgivable
Proud Boys chairman, Enrique Tarrio, a Black Hispanic, squares off with a CNN reporter and calls her out for their false allegations of Proud Boys being a White Supremacist Group. “It has never been about race”
!!!!!!
What Fox won’t let you say how you really feel about Trump’s horrible behavior?
Oh we are disappointed on you Mr. Wallace . You were supposed to be a moderator you you failed at your job.
FoxNewsSunday Chris Wallace, with realDonaldTrump in a debate, not a lot anyone can do. JoeBiden
Get a mute button and the results will come
You are a moderator not a babysitter. Next time can I suggest a mute button for the racist?
Trump cheats
You did a lousy job
You did you research and liars are just difficult . Trump is a Liar
You disrespected Trump. It was so unfair.
Sounds like the Job is to Big for you Chris.
Chris Wallace you didn't do as well as you could have. Your questions were argumentative & adversarial from the get go. Why not ask what the candidates are planning to do for the American people. Your fault that the dust ups kept us from learning anything we didn't already know.
yes, he did as well as he could to help Joe
You did a great job!! It's hard to manage a Toddler and preschooler. Trust me I've been there!
He needs to go
