I see that Chris Wallace wants to interview Joe Biden as a bookend to his interview of Donald Trump.  Mr. Wallace has a reputation as a tough interviewer, but I have noticed that he is a tiger only when he faces right.  He is a pussycat when questioning those on the left.  I have tried to imagine the questions that Mr. Wallace has prepared for the interview with the former vice president:

Mr. Vice President, in your two previous national campaigns in 2008 and 2012 you were working side by side with your friend Barak Obama.  What’s it like running your own campaign without having Mr. Obama at your side?

Mr. Vice President, I want to explore your family relationships. Your son Beau followed in your footsteps as a dedicated public servant when his life was tragically cut short by cancer.  Much earlier, when you were first elected to Congress, you lost a child and your first wife in a terrible traffic accident.  How have these tragic deaths affected you, your family, and your conduct in office?

Mr. Vice President, let’s talk about foreign policy.  As Barak Obama’s second in command, you had occasion to deal with numerous world leaders, many of whom are still in office.  As you know, Mr. Trump’s critics point out that America’s relations with the world are at an all-time low.  How would you use your experience to improve America’s relationship with friends in Europe, neighbors in North America, and even potential adversaries like Russia and China?

All right, Mr. Vice President, I’d like to get into the specifics of some of the controversies that you have been associated with.  Looking at Ukraine specifically, how would you contrast your behavior with that of Donald Trump, who was of course impeached over his attempt to influence Ukraine’s president?

Mr. Vice President, you support the Black Lives Matter organization.  How do you think your experience in the civil rights movement and your lifetime of support for African Americans will help you improve race relations in this country?

Mr. Vice President, you have laid out a bold seven-point plan for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic that has crippled the U.S. economy.  Donald Trump’s response to your criticism has been that he has already implemented each of the proposals you have made.  Can you explain how your plan will improve the situation when compared with the president’s inaction on COVID-19?

Well, Mr. Vice President, I’m afraid we have time for only one more question, so I’ll be brief.  Is there anything you would like to say to the Wall of Moms and the Wall of Vets who are defending the right to peaceful protest in places like Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington?

Mr. Biden’s advisers are reported to have declined the interview.  It’s understandable.  Why take the chance that Mr. Biden might say something that could be taken out of context and used against him?
