Kyle Blaine (@kyletblaine) October 20, 2016Chris Wallace is the first Fox News anchor to moderate a presidential debate and hands down this year's best' Jon Passantino (@passantino) October 20, 2016Chris Wallace knocked it out of the park as moderator, I would say.' Byron Tau (@ByronTau) October 20, 2016The Fox News anchor's performance did not ellicit the anger some top Trump supporters reserved for previous moderators, including NBC's Lester Holt, CNN's Anderson Cooper, and ABC's Martha Raddatz.The Trump campaign appearedpleased with Wallace's turn as a moderator."Chis Wallace did a good job on keeping them on the issues," former New York City Mayor and Trump advisor Rudy Giuliani told Sean Hannity after the debate.Clinton also praised Wallace's performance."He did very well," she told reporters aboard her plane. "He did very well."Shortly after the moderators were announced earlier this year, Wallace garnered criticismwhen he said it was not his job to be a"truth squad.""It's up to the other person to catch them on that," Wallace said. "I view it as kind of like being a referee in a heavyweight championship fight. If it succeeds, after it's over people will say, 'You did a great job. I don't even remember you being on the stage.'"Some of the left wondered if Wallace would deliver a fair performance given he was the first moderator from Fox News, whose opinion shows generally favor conservative viewpoints.Fox News host Bret Baier told viewers after the debate that he had "goosebumps" watching Wallace, his co-host for the first Republican presidential primary debate."We're all proud of Chris," Baier said.SEE ALSO:'Thanks for sending me on this one': Clinton campaign chair got stuck on a broken-down MegabusJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: 'I didn't even apologize to my wife': Trump denies all sexual assault allegations
