In the second presidential election debate between President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on October 16, 2012, CNN moderator Candy Crowley sensed that Obama, coming off a dismal initial September 26 debate, was again floundering. Romney was driving home the valid point that the Obama Administration had inadequately prepared the American mission in Benghazi for likely terrorist attacks. And such laxity resulted in a horrific attack and the deaths of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador.

Wait until you see the rules for the second debate. Trump will be a hostile witness, and only allowed to say "Yes" or "No". Biden will have 80 minutes, and Trump 10. Trump will have his microphone off, and only answer by lifting a card.
The debate "monitor" is a former aide of Biden, and they know each other well. There will be a lot of wink, wink, nod, nod questions.

"Wear the damn mask"? Here's a pic of the great moderator caught without a mask. Or as Shakespeare would say "hoist by his own petard"! I hope this pic is gets widely distributed:

Great Article! Certainly puts people in their place. Especially John Roberts (of FOX news)!. I saw his meltdown and his admission he got some of his info from "his wife who is with another network"! Hmmmm!

I seem to remember that Chris Wallace did not wear a mask at the debate. Why didn't he ''just wear a damn mask!?''

Virus transmission has been theorized to be transmissable in an aerosol. While viruses become inert outside their optimum climate conditions, they remain alive, for extended periods. If someone sprayed an aerosol contaminated with the virus in the Debate's Republican green room, Everyone who entered that room could have been exposed to larger masses of the virus than say if someone who had it, and was unmasked walked among them.
An aerosol with the virus can be easily prepared if you have access to a research facility studying it, and any basic manufacturing center that can produce, say, air-freshener. I seem to remember the CIA or similar agency using such a method in the past, though I don't have the specifics at hand.
Trump is no spring chicken. It could well be considered an assassination attempt.

The big picture is that the Democrats and their media flunkies like Roberts and Wallace, while talking about 99.9% of the time about face masks, most of which medical science has already said do not protect users from contracting the Chinese COVID virus, (that has airborne particles so small that they can pass right through most face masks other than the special face masks (N-95) being used by health care providers, but are thought to be useful to slowdown people who already have the virus from spreading it to other people), are trying to assist the Democrats in absolutely obscuring the Biden-Harris and leftist Democrat and socialist political platform, policies, and programs from the American people before the election. There is a big difference between President Trump and Joseph Biden. Since Trump is President he must be out there ensuring that all aspects of the country continue to run as normal as possible. Biden is a private citizen can and has been hiding in his basement and essentially Monday morning quarterbacking everything that goes on across the country 24/7.
The Chinese COVID virus is unbelievable contagious, and must have been bio-engineered in China to be so in order to sabotage economies across the world and especially in free countries like the United Kingdom and the United States where the Chinese Communists have managed to get both the British Prime Minister and the President of the United States sick with their virus.
I have a daughter who is a registered nurse who has been involved in the COVID virus testing. While she is doing that work she is always dressed in full Personal Protective Equipment of the most advanced design. She is careful while both off and on duty as she knows how contagious in virus really is. No matter she still got infected with the virus, had no symptoms, and after a week or so tested negative a number of times. She was also tested for anti-bodies and was found to have them, which means that she did in fact have the virus and was not a false positive victim. Chances are no matter the face mask debate, at one time or another if you do not stay hidden in your basement you are going to be infected with the virus. All you can do is be careful.

This is a terrific article. VDH compares PDJT with wussy Mitt Romney. And skewers Obama. A longish read but well worth it. It is not about masks.

VDH should note that the "moderator" at this next "town-hall style" debate is a former intern to Joe Biden.
I expect the audience to be full of Joe's relatives. Well, except for Hunter Biden. He's busy working on his shakedown strategy for 2021 and meeting up with strippers.

VDH wielding the sword of truth to slice, dice and categorize media lies is a beautiful and satisfying sight to see.
Everything neatly in its place right where it belongs for inescapable future reference.
Two thoughts:
Oh, how I would love to see this used as an example the next time they use a similar tactic against the POTUS —
“Will you finally assert that you are not now and never have been a Communist?”
Also, a huge AMEN to the following, FTA:
“Whether these journalists know it or not, in the American mind they are already retired before they have even retired.”

Yes, Chris Wallace was obviously in the tank for Joe Biden. He soiled himself on national TV like Nadler.

While they still have several opinion show hosts worth listening to, FOX news is approaching un-watchable.
If FOX had sent Bret Baier instead of Chris Wallace, the debate would have been fair to both candidates.
May Wallace join Dan Rather, Candy Crowley in the journalist junkyard of self-appointed frauds.
Walter Cronkite got away with his unctuous BS -"And that's how it is August [date]"- but now the
MSNews isn't the only source of news.

#14; Bret Baier might have been a little more balanced, but he would have lobbed in some gotcha questions to Trump in any event.

What troubles me is that not one media person has asked Chris Wallace the fundamental question of what he did to prepare. Question 1, did he watch the 2012 debate between Biden and Ryan where Biden constantly interrupted and acted as rudely as he did last week. Instead, Wallace went into the debate with his distrust and hatred of President Trump and his admiration for Joe Biden. Wallace lost all credibility last Tuesday night and Fox needs to retire or fire him. He is a stain on what is left of journalism in America - and that's saying something because there is very little good left in journalism in this country!
