I've agonized, like many here, these past couple days. I honestly believed there was a concerted effort to embarrass and knock Trump off, a conspiracy if you will, but I’ve come full circle and now feel differently, very differently.
I don’t think there was any conspiracy. I think the Fox trio, worked hard to challenge the candidates, and independently from Rupert Murdock or Ailes or anyone else.
Right out of the gate it was great TV. After the opening salvo, you didn’t want to turn your tv off.
And what happened? Each candidate was hit with a zinger. Trump was hit the most, and I doubt that anyone else running for office could have answered like he did.
He swatted their best shots as well as Newt would.
And what else happened? Fox tried to take the rest of the group out with tough questions. And they all rose to the occasion, except maybe Bush, who seemed to play it safe...perhaps Walker too.
I think all in all Fox showed why the interviews of Obama are a big joke. Obama or Hillary could never stand up to the barrage that our side took last week.
And I am proud of everyone, including Chris, Kelly and Brett... and all of our candidates.
I pray that eventually we will all coalesce and unite. I think Trump can and will do that. It makes no sense to run third party... makes no sense. He's way ahead now, and he's taking shots left and right.
What is left now, is for someone to sit down with him, and ask him some serious policy questions about our country, and how he sees us winning. He can tell us. It's right there in his book, Making America No. One Again.
I'm waiting for some one like Kelly to have read the book and ask him questions on what he says in the book.
The bottom line, if you can't handle Chris, Kelly and Brett, how in the heck are you going to handle Putin, the Chinese, the Iranians etc?
I hope Trump rises to the occasion and doesn’t op out on any future debates. I hope he remain himself.
I think he will. He fired his manager, who apparently was a milktoast.
If Kelly is smart she'll find some way to make it right with Trump. She'll invite him back on her show.
He'll refuse of course, then eventually he'll accept, and it will be the biggest show of her career, and the two will be best of friends.
You know why? because she is a lot like Trump.
She's a class act. She could taken Erickson's invite, who btw is a classless act, a joke and a loser.
In short, I am excited. The top four, Trump, Cruz, Carson and Carli and all outsiders. What does that tell you folks!!!!?
The alphabet anchors and their liberal panelists also think Megyn Kelly is an esteemed journalist and class act. Funny how it’s now “Fox”, not
“Faux.” Let’s see what they think of Fox when the same tough questions are asked of their candidates.
‘Class Acts’ don’t go on Howard Stern and talk about their husband’s penis.
That comic is hilarious! Every time I see it I get a chuckle!
Yep, judging from the vicious ad homs here directed at Ms. Kelly, you sure can’t.
She's self-absorbed. She had an agenda to make a scene with Trump, IMO. She did it for self-promotion...which is NOT the role of a moderator.
With Cruz, as well.

I do hope you don’t put these politicians in the same category with Lincoln.
Fox is following the GOP establishment and shilling for Jebby.

>> "“The bottom line, if you can’t handle Chris, Kelly and Brett, how in the heck are you going to handle Putin, the Chinese, the Iranians etc?”This."
No. No. No. What kind of childlike logic is that?
The proof is to negate the equation: If Trump has been sweet and kind to Megyn Motormouth what would that say about his ability to handle Putin, the Chinese, the Iranians?. It would still say nothing at all, these are mutually exclusive topics.
The OP is putting forth a premise that Megyn Motormouth is a proxy for Putin, the Chinese, etc. Say what? The answer to the original question is that he would deal with them in his own, different way. There is no doubt that out of all of these people Trump would be the only one that the enemy would even respect. Unlike the ailing JFK and Khrushchev for example.
This "whining" stuff that certain people cringe at is a good thing. He has focused the attention on Foxey News and their panel of moderator media whores.
And Trump hasn't even begun to dig in to the Murdoch situation. With any luck at all, by the time this election is over, Fox News will have been shaken to the very core. They have served as a (R)epublicrat opiate to keep their voters quiet and stupid. Doesn't anybody remember their muzzling of the "right-wing" TEA Party and Glenn Beck? Whatever you think of him, he was on the cusp of unseating O'Reilly so they eased him out. The TEA party coverage went to zero and Obamacare became cemented even on Foxey News.
For America to have a chance ( and I am not optimistic ) The (R)epublicrat party needs to be taken or dissolved. Furthermore, the (R)epublicrat outlets need to be smashed. So far Trump is doing God's work here whether he is intentional or not. But I believe that no matter how he started out, they have now driven him into our corner.
“I’m waiting for some one like Kelly to have read the book and ask him questions on what he says in the book.”
Hard to imagine Kelly and the other moderators didn’t read every word Trump and the other candidates ever wrote before the debate. If not, she/they really went in ill-prepared, and a with very specific agenda (as appears to be the case).
No..... It was an inquisition, petty, personal and vindictive from Kelly who wants to be front and center in the presidential debate instead of the candidates.
Would Trump deal with Putin by telling him he will be more “flexible” after he is elected?
Somehow I do not remember seeing this scene during the debates or I must have had too much Scotch while watching.
The GOP/MSM are not happy Trump KO'd their lapdog.
You could see the “hatred” out coming out of Megyn Kelly’s eyes when she asked the question.
What Megyn Kelly did was far more demeaning to women than to Trump. Megyn was taking it personal since her “feelings” were hurt.
LOL!
Exactly!
I have a unique insight into the typical male mind. ;)
