Regardless of the question...Trump could have upped his game and really handled those without getting testy...this was not the time nor place to do so without being very specific...he wasn’t.
I understand that, but Trump’s record seems to be a bit excessive.
I get the concern....but what has professional politicians gotten us so far?
This group for Luntz. Where in the WORLD did they come from???? OMGosh... Fox is becoming MSNBC...quickly.
Meaningless. 11 minutes of abuse for Trump, 9 minutes of moderator love for Bush.
WE are the voters. you really think the kind of people who have responded to Trump suddenly are too stupid to see what happened tonight and did a 180 on him? Bull.
I think you are wrong on most of your assessments. I’m no Rubio guy but he came across very, very well. And everyone I heard comment, so far, thinks that Huckabee did a great job. Cruz had the best closing statement; it was awesome.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahah.
Hahahahahahahahahaha.
Is this a parody post?
People say they don’t want a politician but when you line them up, they’ll pick the lying politician every time.
Trump did fine considering he was in a room filled with politicians and media poodles.
He was disappointing. Trump did not come across as presidential. (Neither did Bush. He came across as gubernatorial.)
Rubio, Kasich, Carson, Christie (!) and Fiorina (in the JV debate) did better than I expected.
Clearly, you're right. But, you can't blame those guys. Trump doesn't need their money so they have no way of controlling what he might do as President. Even if he were from the other party, they could buy him if he didn't have so much money himself.
They don't want anyone who can't be bought or controlled.
Yes, and I get your point, exactly. I agree.
Remains to be seen.
He obviously is easily influenced by what Luntz is pushing.
I think Trump is a self promoting con artist, but I didn't think he did that bad. If you believed Luntz's focus groups, Romney would be President. Much as I don't care for Trump, I don't like any network trying to create a narrative so soon after a debate and that is what it seemed Fox/Luntz was doing.
This was Trump's first real debate too, so he will get better. I never believed he'd be the nominee, but Trump was not that bad in my opinion.
Oh yeah?...that must be why he won the poll
You probably shouldn’t be running that mouth of yours, filthy as it is, about heaven...know what I mean?
Are you, yourself, a homo?
“At least 2/3 of those watching changed from Trump supporters and became adamant Trump critics.”
LOL! Impossible in the real world LOL!
But Trump should have brushed off the moderators’ personal questions about him and spoke on issues instead. Since he didn’t he looked un-serious and that hurt him.
