Two hours before Thursday night's Fox News debate, I was in constant conversations with GOP operatives, Fox anchors and other journalists, all asking the same question: Would Donald Trump show up after all?
He didn't, of course, but that shows how crazy the environment has been in Des Moines.
Megyn Kelly, the target of Trump's ire, kicked off the debate by asking Ted Cruz about The Donald's absence. Cruz used some canned humor, describing himself as a maniac, saying everyone else on the stage was stupid and ugly and that Ben Carson was a bad surgeon

They want Rubio and/or Bush.
Faux News was the big loser! Trump kicked ash.
Ted is nasally and whiny and shows himself to be a perfect junior Senator. He is needed where he is. Or maybe on the Supreme Court. Not the White House.
I thought M Kelly looked cowed and angry. I have never respected her much, and now that it appears she is doing Rupert’s and Roger’s bidding like a little girl carrying out her marching orders, I respect her even less.
Remember she’s a lawyer...she has that high-octane personality and has looks - she’s trying to write her own ticket to something...if it means taking orders from the GOPe, than she’ll do that, and she is doing that.
I thought one of the best performances was iCarly defending Santorum in the first debate.
Huckabee and Santorum did NOT skip the debate. They meandered over to Trumps event after the undercard debates.
They knew where the audience was going to be and wanted to soak up a little face time on Trumps dime.
If they were smart, they would have also told FOX to “shove it” and skipped the debate.
She may be “working for” the GOPe but she is a liberal, has shown her true colors and has shown herself willing to be a tool. I think she has lost the most in all of this.
“Trump and Santorum did NOT skip the debate.”
True and I should have been clearer. By attending Trump’s event AS WELL at least they showed some level of solidarity and that they are not entirely in the media’s pocket.
My main point was that they all should have skipped it, it’s a circus and set up.
This nation already has an arrogant, effeminate, first term junior senator in the office of the presidency. Electing another would be a colossal mistake.
