Helping Trump play the victim card is absurd. Trump reaped what he sowed. He is not a victim of anyone else.

In general, even when conservatives are victims, playing the victim card makes them look ridiculous whiners.

Its oh so very clear!!!!

They want Jeb or Kasich to be the guy. They could live with Christie, but he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance.

I think they were rather brutal to Walker too.

Yes, Fox has always been left of center and now they aren’t even pretending otherwise.

Seems like there is an opportunity now for some entrepeneur of means - like Trump- to start a true conservative TV news network.

Lampoon alert



FauxNews has just released this vido frame showing Trump leaving the GOP race...

It's the first known photo of Trump leaving a Republican race in North America.

Other news outlets aren't so sure, and think the footage may have been faked.

This should be The Donald’s theme song.

“Rooster”
by Alice In Chains

Ain’t found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah [2x]
You know he ain’t gonna die
No, no, no, ya know he ain’t gonna die

Walkin’ tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills ‘gainst mosquito death
My buddy’s breathin’ his dyin’ breath
Oh god please won’t you help me make it through

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain’t gonna die
No, no, no ya know he ain’t gonna die

Yes.

May FOX “News” be boycotted and destroyed for their
lying bias.

Disclaimer: I do not have a reputation as a prude. I’m sending this for the edification of those of you who are siding with Megyn Kelly in the ongoing flap with Donald Trump.
Her 2010 radio interview with Howard Stern is proof that this “lady” DOES NOT need anyone defending her for her INDEFENSIBLE ambush of Trump in the very first seconds of the debate. If journalism means anything at FOX, she’d be looking for a job today. If she WERE a lady, she’d have terminated the interview around 7 minutes in when the discussion of anatomy began.
Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IML_UGhXz2Q
Early on, Stern — who has called the Democrats “communists” and declared that he’d never again vote for one — asked Kelly her party and she refused to answer!
Enjoy.

My bet is their next attempt won’t be a political assassination.

Care to expound?

Yes, they did , but Megyn Kelly (a HUGE disappointment to me now) was mum and cagey about exactly what it was they were going to do. She started right off dragging the “debate” into the gutter, exactly the way MSNBC would’ve done, then continued the same provacative line of questiong aiming the “ Does God talk to you?” question directly to Huckabee, Cruz, etc. as a way to alienate viewers from these particular candidates. It was to their discredit that they took the bait.

It’s astoundingly obvious. My question is: how is FOX going to handle this? Ignore it? Support Kelly and the pips? How is Hannity dealing with it? O’Reilly? Kelly?

The vitriol has been massive and continues. Perhaps the question they should be asking themselves, as they cower in their offices, is: what would Trump do?

That seems to be their strategy so far. About all I've seen since the debate was the various on air people talking about what a great job they did, and Howard Kurtz's show this morning had all five so-called moderators on congratulating each other.

Faux News went out on a limb only to have it sawed off at the trunk.

Now they’re furiously trying to save face and credibility.

The beautiful thing is how much collateral damage the whole affair is inflicting on the GOPe (Red State, Fiorina, Will, Krauthammer).

In their efforts to take down Trump, the Republicans seem to have forgotten that the real enemy is the DemocRATS.

Fox’s competitors are salivating at the thought of fox dumping Trump. They’ll have him on constantly and finally beat Fox in the ratings. That would be funny.

You should read the thousands of posts on Kelly’s FB page and Kelly File FB page. I read for a long time and never saw one praising her. She has to be worried about that. Her FB friends are her “friends” and supporters and they’re pissed.
