Trump out foxed Fox. As usual plenty of Gotcha questions.

Jeff Sessions backs-up Ted Cruz’s version of events ...
Rush Limbaugh backs-up Ted Cruz’s version of events ...
Of course, you know that already, but are dedicated to trying to smear Ted Cruz ...
Guys like you make Donald Trump (with his great ideas) look stupid New York City jerks.

Fox News seems incapable of holding a credible debate.
He handled it brilliantly, IMO, citing the fact that he had been cited as the main reason the bill died, which is what he wanted. he cited Sessions and it was mentioned that Schumer, the chief sponsor of the Gang of Eight, also said Cruz was the man responsible for killing the bill.
And he pointed out Rubio’s dishonesty about his history, noting that they had both run for the Senate promising to stop amnesty, but that he had kept his promise by fighting the Gang of Eight bill while Marco had broken his by sponsoring it.
Well played.
I did not watch the debate, so maybe I don't quite understand -- but isn't it pretty odd for a "debate moderator" to show clips of someone's previous speeches/talks and dissect them? I thought "debate moderators" were supposed to provide questions and then stand back as the debaters debated - and to steer them back to the subject if they wandered astray.
Sounds like this was more the tactic of an 'ambush interview'. Or 'tough questions during an interview', if you prefer -- but no place for a 'debate moderator'. Unless the 'debate moderator' sought to become the focal point - rather than the debaters.
I didn’t watch. What happened?
The whole “debate” format is obsolete and boring.
It always devolves into a show for the moderators, not for the candidates and certainly not for the voting public.
Supposedly there are six more of these.
What in heaven’s name for?
She often reminded me of Candy Crowley. But it could be argued that she used the Cruz confrontation as a springboard to go after Rubio.
What’s up with showing film clips of just one participant during a debate?
It would not surprise me if Rubio takes #2 in Iowa now.
These are not true debates. This is gotcha politics that is meant to achieve goals not in line with any of the American People. The media are not our friends. We need these debates the way they are done to be stopped. They are a joke.
Kelly and the Kandidates keep getting into the weeds and miss the big picture. It’s about leadership and authenticity Miss Piggy. The only real leader was three miles away.
Only way this tactic would be fair if they played video clips of EVERYONE’s previous statements down through the years during questions. Otherwise, it looks like a rather significant investment in time to develop a single question directed toward a single candidate.
That said, from what I saw, Cruz did not fair well in this “debate” at all.
She ‘interviewed’ Cruz afterwards and threw him a bone because she realized that she fell right into Trump’s plan. Let Ted take the heat from the ankle biters.
She was doing damage control for Ted afterwards because she couldn’t resist the bite in the debate(like the scorpion on the turtle’s back) and accidentally helped Trump out in the process.
