A presidential campaign is hard and they will face much worse that Megan Kelly the farther along they go.

Really? Care to provide some “much worse” examples? I understand your point about the need to get ‘steeled’ for the long process but Kelly was enjoying throwing hand grenades. And note that Fox consumed nearly one third of the “debate” time. The production was clearly intended to be more about Team Kelly than it was about the candidates.
The snarky Ms. Kelly was giggling all week about what she was going to do to the candidates. That was not professionalism, it was cheap gotcha journalism that engender envy and praise from the liberal networks. Its hard to image a more vitriolic spectacle unless you have some idea of an even worse form of a political hatchet job. If so, I’d like to hear what you think might be forthcoming and who is going to do it.
Sorry, I can’t give you any examples of what hasn’t happened yet, but the “outed lefties” in the main stream will be looking for total destruction when, and if, Trump ever has to go up against a Dem.
I’m not trying to defend Megan Kelly, it is what it is. My point is that the front runner is always the target in primary debates, whether taking fire from moderators or the other candidates.
-This was not a debate but a very public vetting.
-Trump got way more air time than any other candidate, exposure is key to getting the name out there..
-When you are the biggest target you should expect the biggest attack.
It still boils down to how the candidates respond. Trump has never campaigned before and has much to learn about gotcha, sound bite journalism. If he can’t figure it out he should just walk away and let the others get on with it.
