Debate Prediction

Chris Wallace will not ask any seriously uncomfortable questions of Trump...He will let him lie and project.

And he will make Biden defend against baseless lies. "Mr. Vice President ...How do you respond to that ?"

why you think that. Chris Wallace has held Trump's feet to the fire before. He's done it with Putin, too. He's an amazing journalist, and I suspect he will be fair here.

...Wallace is also not Sean Hannity.

I don't anticipate a MAGA rally. Trump will try to turn it into one, but I don't believe Wallace will be complicit in setting him up for it.

One of the reasons Wallace has been successful is his ability to avoid wallowing in the cesspool that is faux news. I think one of the things he will avoid at all cost is being compared to Shawn Insanity or Huckster Carlson. I'm also curious as to whether there will be any real-time fact checking during the debates.
