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!!!!?
Yes, pretty much. We've all been there at one point or another, I do give you props for sticking with it, though.
Please... as I think your remarks are childlike...
Completely disagree, as do many others stalwart conservatives including Mark Levin and Rush. Totally agenda driven with the Moderators debated more than the candidates!? The amount of talk time for moderators vs candidates says everything.
Challenge them? How? I didn't watch the so-called "debate" but I've read many peoples comments. I have yet to read anything pertaining to an issue important to being president.
The problem is that this wasn't a debate, not even close. A debate is candidates squaring off against each other and debating how they would handle the challenge of the office. A moderator is merely someone who moderates the debate, nothing more.
I've promised myself I'll never watch another "debate" until one is offered that is a real debate.
Sums up my feelings for most of the GOP.
You misspelled CRASS.
Retract your book claim or I shall taunt you a second time.
This is the 21st century. Collect a bunch of questions from journalists and citizens and have a computer randomly select them and display them
It was supposed to be a REPUBLICAN/CONSERVATIVE debate - it resembles a Frat House insult game after the beer had been flowing for a while. Better retrace that circle and get back to the sane part of the arc...
I've been trying to find the right words to explain my disgust since that so-called debate, and there they are. Thank you!
What book claim? Taunt away you backasswards fool, everyone will see what you really are a troll! Seems you have your head so far up Trumps ass that you are licking his tonsils and adenoids. Hope the view is okay and the stench must be getting to you!
The other sockpuppet with access to this account apparently failed to bring you up to speed on this little argument.
I really don't need to put the caption here, do I?
The Internet has a long memory, even up to eight days ago...
Easy there...might be good you refer to some of your theology teachings.
Meanwhile you are making up lies about Rush and Trump...
Company man the only sockpuppet is you. you are so demented. Maybe it is time to you go to the physician and have yourself checked to see whether or not you have senile dementia. There seems to be a real problem in that you are so deluded in following after Donald trump, whom is no better than Barack Huseein Obama, please forgive me for my candor, but you are no Conservative Company man!
Did you miss Megyn’s show where she ran with the breaking story that Trump raped his first wife? It was false. Had I not seen that live, I might not be so hard on her, but I did. She ran a tabloid debate. With the serious issues of the day, she didn’t want serious questions or debate. She went with her inner Howard Stern and blew it. No going back, no sugar coating it, she flat out blew off a serious career for tabloid fame. Now she lives with the consequences. The smirking smugness she exhibited while doing it did not help. I am over Megyn Kelly. I am not a Trump fan, but he could have looked weak in a serious debate, instead he wins a tabloid war. Too bad.
And yet, I can seem to recall a stance I took last week, unlike you guys...
