Fox's Chris Wallace: Trump Only Wants More Debates Because He's Losing

Fox News host Chris Wallace has no illusions about why the Trump campaign is suddenly demanding a fourth debate against former Vice President Joe Biden.

After Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade echoed the president’s stated concerns about the debates happening after early voting starts in some states, his radio show guest shot down the idea of either moving the schedule up and adding a fourth debate earlier in September.

“If they were to open it up and say, no, let's set another debate, I just think that it would jeopardize a lot of things,” Wallace, who moderated the third and final debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016. “If Donald Trump were leading, instead of trailing in the polls, my guess is he wouldn’t want it, so they'll have the debates.”

When Kilmeade suggested that Wallace should “get in the face” of the Commission on Presidential Debates and threaten to walk as a potential moderator if they don’t change the schedule, Wallace just laughed and said sarcastically, “Yeah, they’re really dependent on me.”

I listen to Hannity on radio from time to time just because of the complete lunacy. Kilmeade would be like listening To someone smash two fistfuls of mashed potatoes together

and we're not going to gain one bit of information what-so-ever, other than to clearly paint rump as the liar in chief, as long as Biden can have his say and not let rump run off his damn mouth.
