The moderators' questions were mostly proper, not a lot of avoidance of issues and perhaps more to the point that comfortable to the candidates...

If some here have issues regarding Trump's evening they'd do well to consider the Donald's failure to close his answer to an absolutely expected question, his failure to address an absolutely expected question and his generally bully's response to most other questions or candidate positions.

He left himself an opening to limit his "no" response to supporting a candidate he didn't like but closing off a potential independent run (he started to go there but stopped short).
Just about ANY answer would have been better than attacking Ms. Kelly after the "on her knees" comment.
And, Most successful negotiator/debaters avoid words like "stupid" and the making of disagreement into a personal confrontation.

That said (and assuming he does not do a Perot); Trump has done a great service by forcing illegal immigration & government incompetence into the campaign. He simply has shown us that he is not the guy to carry them forward in elected office.

Other than getting eyes on the issues, I don’t care about Trump.

My biggest issue with the “debate” is that was almost all about the moderators and Kelly in particular.

My next issue is not giving the same question to each candidate. If it was about a specific thing a candidate said or did, then I also want to know what the other candidates think about it or what they would have done different.

The debate drew a lot of eyeballs, but the debate sucked. I was very disappointed in Fox News.
