Now, now. Maybe a couple of the questions were “tough”. But Kelly’s was strictly of a “do you still beat your wife?” type.
The worse aspect of their questioning of Trump was none of them were of a policy or issue nature. Very irritating.
Exactly!!
You nailed it. Megyn’s first question to Trump wasn’t ‘tough’, it was a deliberate grenade tossed at him in an attempt to derail his candidacy. With all the subsequent media attention, it appears to have been effective.
And they started the debate off with a question that EVERYONE “already” knew the answer to. Why? If that wasn’t a gotcha question?
It was not a debate, it was a firing squad.
It was like the carnival game where you shoot the targets and you get the prize associated with it. Does anyone really want a leader that just takes being shot at and doesn’t respond back?
Trump has not been whoosiefied by the libs and they are having fits about it! Stand tough and don’t give in Donald.
Yes, it was very much of that type.
Also for garnering much attention for the questioner, Kelly, imo.
I have never liked the FNC Kelly program but watched anyway because I keep up with politics and current events.
I have watched my last of Kelly, be it on her nightly program or anywhere else.
To wit, I have just turned away from Howard Kurtzs' media program, as it will be featuring Kelly (and Wallace who I also dislike), and switched to the beginning of "Murder on the Orient Express" movie.
Maybe not policy or issue questions, but were surely questions that pertained to electability. That show of hands thing at the beginning was absolutely called for. Trump himself has made this an issue by his teasing, dancing around a definitive answer on the third party run thing and finally was called to account. I was glad to see him pushed to answer, although his “If they are nice to me I won’t run as third party” sounded petty.
These are supposed to be grownups playing in the big leagues. A presidential campaign is hard and they will face much worse that Megan Kelly the farther along they go. Either get over it or get out of it.
The Democrats have crossed from Karl Marx to Groucho Marx.
