New York (CNN Business)Chris Wallace, the Fox News anchor who moderated Tuesday's debate, is placing the bulk of the blame on President Donald Trump for sending the political showdown into chaos.

Wallace, who had in a Wednesday interview with The New York Times declined to pin the culpability on Trump, told his colleague Bill Hemmer during an interview Thursday that he believes Trump "bears the primary responsibility for what happened."
"I had baked this beautiful, delicious cake and then frankly the President put his foot in it," Wallace said.

1. That quote seems like pure Borowitz

2. Chris is the ONLY one who didn't see this coming

4. He could have reviewed the tapes of the GOP primaries.

They would have given him a good clue about what to expect.

3. No, Mr. Wallace. You could have demanded that Mr. Trump adhere to the terms of

the debate, or you would end this assault on V.P. Biden.

5. How would Wallace have backed up that demand? By ending the debate?

[NCjack]

10. He should have put his reputation in his briefcase, picked it up, and walked out. Considering

the level of assault by Trump on Biden with Wallace trying to stop it, Biden would have known that it would be hopeless to stay and try to continue.

12. I put the blame entirely on Trump and refuse to provide him cover by blaming Wallace

[BlueWavePsych]

6. What a cop out. Chris Wallace knows better.

[Kaleva]

7. I would agree. Blaming Wallace is letting Trump off the hook

Trump, and Trump alone, is entirely responsible for the fiasco of a debate.

13. Yeah, I agree. I mean, Wallace didn't come off well, though he got stronger as the night went on ...

but when it comes to blame, it's very clearly on trump. There were rules that he agreed to but clearly had no intention to actually follow.

[Kaleva]

14. Yes.

[Clearly fogged in]

8. Say what, Geraldo?

Maybe Chris Wallace can find the golden ticket out of faux news now, Capone's hidden vault.

9. LOL - "All that sweet green icing flowing down; someone (wasn't me) left the cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it, cuz it took so long to bake it
Now I'll never have that recipe again --- ooooooo nooooooo!

11. he's right.. Psycho of course is blaming CW.
