I do find it funny that we wanted fox because they are conservative after last round of MSM. Maybe in order to be happy, we need to do debates with people and now t networks. Have mark, hannity and rush do a debate. I thought except for the second question to trump, the questions were better then other debates.
The moderators fed into that contention.
They spent most of their time trying to land ‘gotcha’ questions rather than asking questions that would elicit information for the viewers.
FoxNews is as giddy as the pre-debate moderators that they got 24 million viewership. However, most of those 24 million witnessed a media fiasco. I doubt FoxNews gained many converts.
See this on how to correctly excerpt when posting a new thread.
The Three Stooges turned this into a circus when it could have been a professional and fair debate. They and FOX lost credibility. Now all the talk is about trivial comments regarding Trump - this at a time when the nation is faced with major issues.
Nobody asked Jeb about Terri Schiavo, his links to Osorio and love for Mexico and illegal aliens.
"This is a process that belongs to us… People tuned in to watch the candidates debate, not to watch Megyn Kelly… I’m sick and tired of the dumbing down of very crucial issues.
We know this country is going over a cliff, and we want to do something about it."
~Mark Levin
The GOP/MSM are not happy Trump KO'd their lapdog.

You are missing the point.
“Trump should just skip them...”
I have wondered how long he would continue to participate in “debates”.
I’m not sure how many I will watch.
Anybody know if Kelly has heard from God since Thursday?
I am wondering if mark Levin is just reading the tea leaves on this. if he felt this way about the debates he should of come out the very next day on his radio show instead of waiting for reaction of the masses
Bird cage newspaper stunt.
I agree.
I sent the Brietbart article to Trump on twitter. It is true that the American people lost out on this circus of a debate.
No I get the point and agree with it. But it’s still a fact that rating is what media is about, his show and the rest included and if ANYONE expected a modern news outlet on cable TV to do anything BUT put on a show, they are kidding themselves.
Why do so many people want Rush and Levin as moderators? Because they want to see a show. They want to see ‘their guys’ perform. Not that they want a fair debate. Is that not the case? Who wants to dent the thrill of seeing a RINO eviscerated?
If people wanted a debate, there would not be celeberty moderators and the attention would be on the debaters.
But thats bad for ratings.
No! She did hear from tens of thousands angry X fans. Her FB page was vitriolic. Poor widdle victim!
He actually did come out the next day on radio.
He’s right, but the 20 plus million didn’t watch because of Kelly, they arrived due to Trump and Cruz.
That’s a shocker!
Download the show and listen to it. He was very upset the following day echoing the same things he said to Breitbart.
I didn’t care for the debates myself. The very first question was telling for what was to come.
or,
this press conference framed as a debate, cleared the air of all the detrimental baggage of all the candidates and puts all of those issues aside
the rocks and shoals are removed and the candidates all have clear sailing
it is clear that conservatives wanted their candidates asses kissed and others mostly Jeb trashed. That didn’t happen and there is a temporary uproar that will pass with time
it will become clear that what was percievied was not that which was
