Chris Wallace appreciation thread?

[Tarc]

Question mark?

Look, I know we're not a big fan, he's a Fox boy, but he's more fair than most of the Fox crowd. He did the best anyone could do to corral Trump and his temper tantrums & tirades. Trump's antics have never been seen in a public before, it was so outside the norm of civility and decency.

Sometimes you play the bad hand you're dealt in the best way you can.

1. Wallace was...

...worthless!

[uponit7771]

2. No, Wallace was like Mueller; doing what he's told vs doing what was right. Wallace could've cut mic

... and decided not to.

Fuck that

[jls4561]

3. crickets

[dweller]

4. ...

😷

✌🏼

[MissB]

5. No.

Wallace is not his father.

[yardwork]

6. Wallace should resign. That was a disgrace.

[SlogginThroughIt]

7. Oh no #$% that mother #$%er

[consider_this]

8. NO!

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. He could not control Trump.

Biden was self-controlled.

[Tarc]

16. I realize that, but. Can anyone?

As Nicole Wallace said just now, this was an assault on the senses. An assault on the process.

What can you expect a debate moderator to do?

[OAITW r.2.0]

25. I'd love to see Rachael Maddow give it a shot.

Trump would never accept her, though.

[Renew Deal]

30. That's fine if you're willing to have Hannity moderate a debate.

[OAITW r.2.0]

33. Sure, why not?

People can witness it.

[Renew Deal]

23. Who could have done better?

And what would they do?

[OAITW r.2.0]

27. See 23......nt.

[Lars39]

10. He's going to be on trump's shite list

I almost felt sorry for him when his voice would shake

[liberal N proud]

11. For allowing a bully to shit on his debate?

[durablend]

12. BULL. SHIT. n/t

[aquamarina]

13. Wallace was pathetic.

[Jspur]

14. I actually agree with you unlike most in here I thought

Chris Wallace was fine. The problem is Trump is going to steamroll any moderator. We can have progressive moderator the next debate and that person will get steamrolled by Trump the same way Wallace was. The only way to stop it is to give moderators the power to cut off his mike.

[Tom Traubert]

15. Not a chance.

He was completely inept and essentially tag-teamed Biden at times.

[womanofthehills]

17. Wallace was disgraceful - nervous giggling on serious issues

Definitely not in charge

[Jirel]

18. Dude, no.

I will not entirely VILLIFY Wallace because I don't think anyone, in any organization, thought Dump was going to come out like a pure poo-flinging orangutan. But, you plan for the worst case scenario. That means they should have had *some* planning for how to regain control. They failed. Wallace failed.

I enjoyed a few moments of Wallace hitting back at Dump, but that is not the same as regaining control or making a credible attempt at it. He got run over, and he should be drinking and thinking over not only an apology to viewers, but how he's going to deal with the aftermath including suggestions to the next organizers based on what was actually agreed to and what happened behind the scenes going into the debacle.

[BlueSpot]

19. Nope

That was for shit.

Imagine your job is to stack fruit. Every time you start stacking, some asshole comes along and knocks it over. You do little except to say please don't do that. Then you stack more fruit and he knocks it over, again and again. Are you doing your job or not? If you aren't sure, got back to the first sentence in this paragraph.

[58Sunliner]

20. Uh, say what? His antics have been seen before, and CW, of all people, should have known better.

[Renew Deal]

21. Wallace did fine.

I don't think anyone could have done better. That's fair enough.

[DemsIn2020]

22. Listen..

I will give Wallace some slack.. Debates are hard, and this was the first one.

[TreasonousBastard]

24. There are people, and one of my brothers is one of them, who will admire trump for his...

truth and forcefulness.

Really.

I saw gishgallup and spewing of bullshit without any facts backing up his silly allegations, but some will see strength.

There's a guy on CNN saying the Proud Boys are celebrating online tonight saying they have the go-ahead from Trump.

[StarryNite]

26. No

[ornotna]

28. I appreciate

that he didn't jump on stage and drop a deuce.

[customerserviceguy]

29. You think he did a good job of corralling Trump?

The moderators for the next two debates will be much more effective. They have tonight to learn from.

[Sunsky]

31. For what?

Feeding us Republican spin/questions or allowing Trump to control the debate? Biden could not get a word out for most of the debate.

[awesomerwb1]

32. Are you serious?

Wow. I have no idea how your thread is even mildly serious. Wow

[calimary]

34. I appreciate that the next moderators won't be him.

He let trump walk all over him.

[choie]

35. Seriously? he SUCKED!

He was completely impotent.

[Brother Mythos]

36. Wallace should never again be accepted by any Democratic Party candidate as a debate moderator.

[USALiberal]

37. Sarcasm? nt

[Piasladic]

38. Like an abuse victim

he tried to placate. He was rolled over, and I don't even think he could have cut that monster off even if he wished to.

So NO... I do not think he should be appreciated. I even doubt he should be pitied.
