People are crazy. Both Fox and Trump got what they wanted out of this debate. Proves they are friends not enemies.

Get over it.

If you can’t handle that without throwing a fit, drop out now.

You'll never be wrong making that statement. Ends the discussion.

I’m not sure if this works to Fox’s advantage but on its face I think it works to DT’s advantage, and it could generate some Dem appeal because now there would be common cause against the rabid acrimony Dems have against Fox news. “The enemy of my enemy”, as it were.

I don't care what axe you have to grind, but when the axe your grinding interferes with the information from the candidates to the votes, that is not right...

I think if I had fox network I would disconnect it and save my money for something else more enjoyable...

Trump and the candidates didn't deserve this ‘horse and pony’ show that fox put on and neither did the public....

Clearly the solution to punish Fox for acting like MSNBC is to send in the monthly cable/dish bill at the earliest date.

That’ll show them how mad America is!

Trump should thank Fox. Once again the talk is all about Trump. And no, he wasn't asked tough questions, he was asked gotcha questions. Big difference.

And not just Trump received inane questions. Kelly asking about God talking sounded disrespectful and snarky.

Roger Ailes plan worked to perfection

He left the other networks with no substantial questions to ask

The question is WHY did Rodger Ailes sic his long knives on Trump? Could be because he can't control Trump, that's part of it....another part could be...Jeb is the establishment's favorite....Cavuto gave Jeb a lot of time today. Jeb can be controlled. Apparently so can Fox.
