Fox News host Chris Wallace turned the first presidential debate into a train wreck.
Wallace constantly badgered Donald Trump while allowing Joe Biden to get away with blatant lies.
But Democrats are panicking about one post-debate poll.
Most viewers of the first presidential debate agree that Fox News host Chris Wallace was the big loser of the night.
His anti-Trump animus shined through as he saved Biden from getting pummeled in key moments.
However, an overwhelming majority of viewers on Telemundo felt that Trump won the debate.

This is bad news for the Democrats because they can’t afford to lose Latino support.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton won 66% of the Latino vote versus 28% for Trump.
But a recent poll in Florida showed that Trump is leading Biden among Latinos.
A spokesperson for Telemundo released a statement on the debate poll:
“Like other news organizations, Noticias Telemundo conducted a Twitter opinion poll last night to capture instant online reaction to the first presidential debate…When the final results were announced on air, Noticias Telemundo prefaced the results by explaining the numbers did not reflect a scientific survey, but instead a real-time online poll among Twitter users.”
Twitter trends toward the left, so any bias in the data would likely favor Biden.
Democrats cannot depend on blanket Latino support, and they’re concerned.
Many Latinos fled socialist countries for a better life in America, particularly Cubans, and they are not enthused about the Democrats’ hard tilt to the left.
A group of Cuban immigrant business owners in Louisville, Kentucky warded off Black Lives Matter radicals who attempted to strong-arm businesses to cave to their demands.
Venezuelans who have come to America have also warned of the dangers of socialism; Hugo Chavez came to power in 1999 on a socialist mandate, and it took fewer than two decades to wreck the country.
Despite having an abundance of oil and other natural resources, Venezuela has gone from being the richest country in South America to the poorest.
Conservatives and Republicans have often argued against socialism because it’s economic illiteracy and doesn’t work, but people on the right need to do a better job of arguing against socialism on a moral level.
What Biden and the power-hungry progressives behind him are proposing is deeply immoral.
More people need to take heed of the Latinos who fled these hellscapes to live the American dream.
