Presidential Debate With Chris Wallace Moderating - Open Thread

Clinton_v._Trump_DonkeyHotey.jpg

We've got the third and final presidential debate right here, streaming via NBC News, after the jump. This one promises to be particularly crazy and particularly noteworthy for NewsHounds because Fox News' Chris Wallace is the moderator. Let's watch together and share our thoughts and observations.

Wallace is the first Fox News host to moderate a presidential debate. So the pressure is on him both to be impartial and fair but also, I'm sure, to help his home team. Plus, with Donald Trump in all but a full meltdown, God only knows what will happen.

Let's chat below!

While Wallace is concentrating on the typical issues you hear on Fox, he’s doing the best job so far if keeping the discussion on the rails.

Wallace seems to be fair with the time so far.

Sweating not swearing.

Trump swearing, chugging water already.

Hillary prep showing. So articulate on the issues.

Hillary better put her foot down.

Here comes the water.

Chris is going down a checklist of conservative SCOTUS issues. 2nd Amendment. Roe v Wade. Will he be fair and talk Citizens United?

I don’t see Wallace’s thumb on the scale yet. Civil.

So Hillary shows depth of understanding over D.C. SCOTUS decision. Trump not at all. Personal attack time.

EOF,

From your mouth to God’s ears.

Hillary strong so far. Trump looks grouchy.

Ellen,

I’m hoping to start humming Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” in a little under 90 minutes.

commented 2016-10-19 21:11:38 -0400 · Flag

Civil so far.

commented 2016-10-19 21:10:16 -0400 · Flag

EOF, yes, you’re right. They know their guy is losing.

commented 2016-10-19 21:09:46 -0400 · Flag

Trump is sniffing again.

commented 2016-10-19 21:09:43 -0400 · Flag

Hillary speaks for 2 minutes. No mudslinging. A 2016 debate record. 😉

commented 2016-10-19 21:09:02 -0400 · Flag

Trump is already whining. First question is about the Supreme Court and he makes it about himself.

commented 2016-10-19 21:06:02 -0400 · Flag

SCOTUS. Good start.

commented 2016-10-19 21:06:01 -0400 · Flag

Could Fox News be any more biased in the run up to the debate? I watched “The Five”, “Special Report”, Hume and O’Reilly. WikiLeaks, WikiLeaks, Bill’s latest accuser, did we mention WikiLeaks? 👍
