Is Anybody Else Ticked At Fox for the Trump Ambush in the First Debate?

That was not tacky, that was despicably Unfair! The candidates in the first debate panel were given opportunity to attack Trump, who of course was not on the stage.

I wouldn't blame Donald Trump if at his first opportunity to speak tonight, he unloaded on Fox for that little slimy trick, plugged his book for folks to source his policies, and walked off the stage!

The Trump Phenomenon is a “Proto-Bubba-Effect”

The more Trump is attack the more the rightfully pissed off people will surround him and the more popular he will become.

The moderators were assholes. Disrespectful and insulting to the panel. No different than MSNBC. Hemmer is a super jerk. Fox is collaborating with the establishment GOP.

NO! DO NOT GET INTO A PISSING MATCH ON NATIONAL TV!

Sorry to yell, but if he remains calm and collected, he will win without ever saying a word.

Drudge and Politico took this point up. The snotty factor was noticed by other media.

Hemmer also asked a question that brought up Gov. Kasich.

I made a similar remark about that — Kasich was not there to respond.

I should say..not a pissing match on live TV.

He can reply to all those after they have collected their thoughts and dig up the proper response.

I can’t access any debates, I’m not one of the elite.

But I’d bet that anybody slamming Trump had ought to hunker down for some heavy return fire.

And I’m for Cruz.

Trump is a front runner and happens to be a celebrity so he makes for an easy target. Not worried as Trump can trounce the media. The real question is whether Trump can debate. we will see.

I think they are trying to get Trump to lose his temper. I also think Trump is aware, and unless they directly ask him about it, he will ignore it.

I think they are trying to goad Trump into losing his temper and making a mistake

Hence the Jebster talking smack today just before the debate

Trump needs to center down and exercise complete self control, treat these guys like specimens to be observed

I wonder what Trump knows about the Constitution.

Trump is leading in the polls, that makes him target #1 for ALL the other candidates, including the kids table. Welcome to why debates are silly.

Good. I hope they get a lot of negative publicity for how they conducted their Faux Debate!

That alright! You, I and everyone else should be angry. But he has to stay calm.

Tomorrow is another day and he can really unload on them then.

Now to say that, he can take notes and mention he will respond in due time to their arrogance.
