Amazing isn’t it, that they can do that, and the media doesn’t peep about.
It’s also interesting that the media — all channels — will play Rubio talking about Trump’s penis for days.
But when Trump responds to it, well, omigosh, think of the children.
Were they thinking of the children earlier?
Hypocrites!
I finally had to go to Newmax TV last night.
It did a much better job of at least presenting different views.
CNN, FOX, MSNBC it was all anti-Trump all the time....except for O’Reilly, oddly. O’Reilly did OK.
Trump is making the entire GOPe look bad. And rightfully so. It’s so easy to do.
Priebus should have been fired long ago. A complete incompetent and corrupt fool.
A reasonable explanation starts with the recollection of the debate that Trump skipped. The mods had video of the other candidates in that Trump-less debate.
I'm guessing that was the footage that they were going to hit Trump with in that debate and they just recycled it for this one.
I thought he did ok for the minute he had ... but the Cruz/Rubio piling on at every single question was disgusting.
My other rule - no more audiences for debates.
Is this supposed to be a shocking indictment?
Stop whining. Trump is the frontrunner. It's only natural that he should get hard hitting questions. If he was as irrelevant as Kasich, he would get as much attention as Kasich.
You mean he wore mom jeans and played golf?
It was an A and it fell to a D.
This is vindication for Trump, you think?
I thought O’Reilly went very easy on Rubio. At the very least, he should have asked him about his poor attendance and voting record in the senate. This speaks to the issue of responsibility and doing one’s job.
For whatever reason, O’Reilly never pressed him on anything.
Moderators don't get a pass just because they happen to shoot at the same target as you. This is where your side fails. You never look beyond the immediate supposed advantage you might have to consider what the long term consequences might be. Tough QUESTIONS on ISSUES would be nice change from these three minute campaign attack ads pretending to be questions we get from these fake “moderators”
Candidate you like in the future will get the same treatment if these sort of gutter scum tactics are not ruthlessly stomped on now.
This is the problem too many “Conservative” have, they are too busy looking to only the next election to consider the longer term consequences of actions that seem to benefit them now.
Cruious also, NOW the tactic is ok? Was not considered acceptable when it was Cruz as the target
Megyn Kelly ADMITS to Ted Cruz the record shows he DID NOT SUPPORT legalization in 2013 Amnesty showdown
Ted Cruz was on with Megyn Kelly right after the debate tonight and midway through the interview she brought up her question to him about his poison pill amendments in the 2013 showdown on amnesty in the Senate.
What I thought was noteworthy was that Kelly admitted to Cruz that after thoroughly reviewing his record on whether or not he supported legalization, she believes his record does support his argument that his amendments were really poison pill amendments and that he never actually supported legalization.
It used to be that audiences were asked to refrain from cheering or applauding. Fox did nothing to discourage that at all. Fox News is not a serious or professional operation.
They even parroted Romney’s barbs for him and anxiously quoted real-time breaking news in an effort to corner Trump.
Fox’s credibility ran into the Trump iceberg and is sinking like the Titanic.
It is vindication of the fact the moderators are not doing their job but acting as campaign activist attack bots.
Don’t get to posture as the “objective” “we report you decidded” Journalists and then knowingly get your “facts” wrong.
I agree, unless they find a way to either balance the house or to silence the house.
I’m sorry, but if you think Mitt Romney or anyone else told Cruz waht to say, then you’re not living in the real world.
Cruz FED off of the coordinated effort.
So, he’s either complicit as a participant or he’s complicit by virtue of using it.
Either way, Cruz’s using it will forever call into question whether there was coordinated action.
The RNC chairman is contributing to the circus effect and the GOP could lose because of this BS. The media loves it, it's like the 16th hole at the Phoenix Open, I think to make it more Raucous they should put kegs of beer out and let the audience drink for a few hours before the debate.
“I am truly surprised that Rubio’s call for an all out war is not getting at least a little notice someplace.”
Exactly. Powerful propagandists protected him.
Micro Rubio needs to go an take his POS foreign policy advisor with him.

FUMR
FUMB
(how deep the rabbit hole?)
They should let the candidates at that beer, too.
That would be fun. :>)
The indictment is coordination with Mitt Romney.
Unethical, whether by standards of neutral moderating or by journalistic standards.
Rubio thinks he’s such a foreign policy hotshot, and he’s never been on a battlefield in uniform, so he doesn’t know what it’s like to be in these wars he wants to start. He doesn’t have a clue.
