Trump has said time and again he will not run third party if he’s treated fairly. The GOPe will never treat him like a candidate and Fox certainly never will because it’s the network of RINOs. If Trump runs third party only look back at this so-called debate, which was really nothing in the world but an ambush on Trump, to see where the 3rd party was started. If the GOPe keeps up the garbage Hillary Clinton will be elected, OR JOE BIDEN, and once again the party of stupid will have no one to blame but itself.
We’ll know by November.
That’s the Texas primary registration and I’ve been told they have a sore loser law.
No Republican or 3rd party candidate can win without Texas.
I do not agree. The first question about the pledge was obviously designed to single out Trump.
Obviously.
And the some questions that Kelly and Wallace asked of him were of personal nature against him. They were hostile.
The other candidates were not asked such questions.
Ted Cruz Ping! you are trying to play checkers in a chess game
The question had to be answered by Trump. He raised the issue.
It has now been answered. The MSM has been sidetracked on the issue. If asked again by say CNN Trump can respond “ As I already told Brett on Fox...... it’s old news.”
The point of asking all the questions about candidate weak points was to get them out of the way. The MSM now has no gain in asking them. The questions are now old news.
The genius Roger Ailes did the candidates, all of the candidates, a great service by getting all this tried old garbage out of the way.
The question had already been answered.
The point of the question was to single Trump out from everyone else and set him apart as an outsider from the start.
It was no different then attempting to kneecap a race horse with a steel pipe right out of the starting gate.
But it didn’t work, because a great many people now view themselves as outside and apart from the GOP.
That is the perception but not the reason
The question was the 800 pound gorilla in the campaign and was paramount to the debate. It had to be asked and to be answered.
Trump made the negotiating gambit to not rule out a third party run. He did that because there are elements in the Republican party that are out to kill him. His gambit effectively stopped that effort.
He was shown by Bret to be serious and not blowing smoke on the subject. It is now a dead issue unless the GOPe continues to try to get rid of him and witholds party support.
He is not leaving the Party. The party or at least part of it are attempting to leave him. They now know with certainty that is a very bed choice.
Trump does what he does best...... he made a deal.
Brett gave him the platform to make it
While I do not disagree with what you have said, their objective in asking that question and the fat pig question straight out of the gate was to rattle him from start.
However, I do think that those efforts back fired.
They showed that the mods were not objective and had a clear agenda. Especially that Kelly person.
