Chris Wallace calls Perry, Romney ‘weak front-runners’

Dec. 16, 2011 5:39pm Eddie Scarry

Nothing says “Playboy” like Chris Wallace.

The nudy mag has an in-depth interview this month with the Fox News host this month and he admits he doesn’t think much of Rick Perry or Mitt Romney in terms of the election.

PLAYBOY: If that’s how you see it, what will it take for the Republicans to win in November?

WALLACE: [T]he Republicans need to nominate somebody who is credible, especially to independents. Voters need to look at this guy or this woman and say, “This person can be president.” Mitt Romney and Rick Perry are weak front-runners, in my opinion. Romney’s stronger, but every time somebody else comes on the horizon, whether it’s Donald Trump, Michele Bachmann or Perry, they blow by him until people find problems with the opponent. If a credible Republican candidate doesn’t emerge, Obama can still win, even if people don’t have much confidence in him.

What do you think about this comment paraphrased slightly from another blogger about Romney and Gingrich? True, false?

“The big difference between Newt and Mitt is:
Mitt gives lip service to Conservatives and governed liberal left.
Newt gives lip service to the Liberal Left and legislated conservative right.”

  Gingrich won points with many conservatives regarding the Middle East and about the tyranny of the US Courts and judges (with agendas or yeilding to agendas, bribes, pressure) overriding the law and trying legislate or dictate from the bench.
  
  The judges and justice system are giving several states a hard time about their illegal alien laws and protecting the borders.

Chris Wallace is a liberal and one of those who want to choose the Republican candidate for us real Conservatives.
As you could see in the last debate where he was only interested in getting the candidates to attack each other. He never asked anything about what the candidate would or could do to beat obummer. Only confrontational questions.

  Of course, Wallace is a biased fool and trouble maker. He has no right nor position to influence or select the Republican nominee but chooses to blindly support his progressive liberal communist buddies.

  Chris Wallace is another liberal and it really shows during the debates and also on his Sunday show and all his comments on fox news. I have no respect for his elite, rude style. He is for Obama. I used to watch and trust fox but now they are going more and more to the left. I don’t even watch Hannity and Greta anymore. Can’t stand Colms, Jaun Williams, Bob Beckel. The five is something I watched a couple of times and it can never replace Beck…Chris Wallace thinks he is really important and I guess he is to the far left like Obama..

Chris Wallace asked Michelle Bachmann…ARE YOU A FLAKE?

We live in Postmodern AmeriKa…POLITICS IS, OUR STATE RELIGION. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE DEBATES IN A “SURVIVOR” FORMAT.

Chris Wallace is a Democrat. Let that sink in and then realize the meaning behind his statement is that he wants Obama to win. That’s all it is.

Chris Wallace has ticked me off on all sides this year. I am waiting until they retire him. He is rude, carping, and horrible at interviewing.

Chris Wallace has consistently been a hostile interviewer towards Rick Perry. Obviously Wallace fancies himself as the great newsman, but he is a disgrace in the way that he treated Governor Perry, when Fox moderated the 2 or 3 interview, all the interviews on Fox and now in this interview. He should be ashamed, and Fox should rethink is contract. He must be an Obama supporter since he is so ugly to Conservatives.

I agree w/Chris Wallace–Perry & Romney are weak.
What Republicans NEED to do this election is nominate the candidate who has the greatest chance of winning the election & send Obummer packing.

I happen to believe that that person is Gingrich, but I don’t know of what his appeal–if any–is to moderates & independents. Sure, he’s got “baggage,” somewhat more of it than some other candidates–but, he’s been in the public realm a LOT longer than others have been, too, & that counts for something.

I dislike Gingrich’s morals & ethics in regard to his marriages & divorces; he disagrees that he was a lobbyist for Freddie Mac….but, when considered alongside Obummer, I have to set those things aside & realize that Gingrich–w/all his failings, shortcomings, mistakes–would STILL make a better prez & would do so much more that’s NEEDED for this country, than we’d get w/our current Appeaser&Liar-in-Chief.

I WILL vote for whoever the Repub party nominates to run against Obummer. I think that Gingrich has the best possibility of winning against Obama.

NOBAMA2012!
