Hillary supporter here and I thought Wallace was the best moderator of the three debates.

I got angry .. Wallace let Hillary talk and talk and never interrupted her when she was making her lying points.. Wallace I believe was very bias and didn't give Trump the time to make his points . Very suspect as Wallace just at the time Trump was getting the truth out about Hillary , boom, here comes Wallace again cutting off Trump. I was disgusted with Wallace.

Watch the debate and see the truth.. if you missed it. One must be vigilant in what a person is saying when they are cut off.
Could it be because Trump didn't answer any questions, and instead delivered his rehearsed lines with no regard to the questions.

Chris Wallace was far better than I expected. But I think that was because he did not follow through with his intention/thread to be just a timekeeper and not a fact checker. He was a great time keeper, a very good candidate controller, and within his very questions was the fact-checking. I applaud him.

I am also sometimes shocked at how much he looks and sounds like his father.

He did a good job, but let's not get carried away here. Trump was better behaved and it made the moderator look good. In the second half of the debate when Trump lost it, it went about the way it did in the first debate.

Chris Wallace can ask tough questions without coming across as mean. His old man (Mike Wallace) could be pretty aggressive and seem a little vicious at times.

Why are you surprised? Chris Wallace is a Democrat. Democrats are fair and balanced®.

Hillary graduated from Yale Law School. Why do you think she is not intelligent enough to answer that question?

The best moderators are the ones we don't remember.

Chris Wallace focused on the questions and kept his thoughts to himself. No one watches for the moderators. They want to hear the candidate.

I still think the microphone needs to be turned off when people speak out of turn.

But then the world wouldn't get to hear Trump make an utter ass of himself over and over.
