Watching the debate tonight I noticed several thing that demonstrated great bias:
1. Opened with hit #1, who will not pledge to support the nominee? They KNEW only Trump.
2. Trump calling Rosie names on twitter and are you a misogynist?
3. Even whn in Trump's sweet spot of immigration: PROVE Mexican govt is sending their criminals.
All in the first 20mins.
And never was a single question framed in a way that allowed him to shine.
I think it’s way too early in the campaign for specifics.
GO TO HELL!!!!
You don’t know spit.
Punk.
Ptoooey.
Hit you right in the forehead.
13 years is not enough?
This is stunning. Fox, which had a reputation of fairness, showed anything but that. So many other threads across the spectrum, Newsmax to Politico and CNN talked about the mistreatment of Trump. One thread posts responses to Kelly’s creepy behavior. The Luntz focus group was uncharacteristicly off. Online polls show Trump doing uniformly well. But all the Fox people except Hannity are writing Trumps Obituary with drool coming off their collective chins. This is the weirdest start to a presidential election I have ever seen
M U R D O C K
rinse and repeat

My wife who is an extreme pessimist even said that it helped the conservatives.
It backfired on them. TEFLON DON indeed.
Exactly! Tonight's "debate" was annoying and totally unfair to all candidates. It was all about getting ratings for FNC, not for hearing each candidate speak on the same issues.
Neither will I. His name is JUAN Ellis Bush, btw. ;-)
Yup. Hannity does occasionally mention on his show: "My show is the only conservative opinion show left on FNC now".
I agree it was a hit piece .. but what confused me was the question had a double-question in it.
1. Will you support RNC nominee
2. Will you go 3rd party if you’re not the nominee.
And .. I heard comments from several people after the debate - who were being interviewed by Hannity - and they were stating one of the 2 questions - so some people believed it was about supporting the nominee .. and some believed it was about going 3rd party.
I HOPE TO GET CLARIFICATION FROM RUSH TOMORROW.
Is Rosie a woman?
Has anyone else mentioned makeup? I thought they gave him a white mustache somehow.
Anybody who still watches Fox News after this sick joke of a hitjob debate is beyond redemption . Cancel your cable subscriptions now !
Not only makeup, but there was something about camera angle too. I couldn’t hear that much of it, but I could see perfectly, and we seemed to be looking UP at a big, impressive Jebbie and DOWN at Trump and Cruz, especially Cruz.
TV people are experts and can do a lot with subtle things that viewers are not necessarily conscious of.
Whoever was picking the camera shots was less biased. They showed Christie amused when Trump was talking about bankruptcies and Atlantic City—both of them know that is a dying city and the word “bankruptcy” is not the insult that most people think it is.
...It was over when Trump raised his hand.
***************************
He was just being honest and the others were not.
His response to the stupid question was valid. How can someone commit to supporting the eventual GOP nominee if that individual is unknown?
Why would anyone say they would support some idiot nominee just because they are GOPe? We’ve been through that crap with McCain and Romney!
But the MSM want to be the story.
The “moderators” take more time to ask a question than the candidate has to answer.
********************************
Exactly why I gave so many negatives to Wallace and Kelly, as I was rating the moderators as well as the candidates. Both were rated negatively by me for being ultra snarky!
Both of them spent more time doing a lead in to the question, in their attempts to bias possible replies. ....Baer didn’t do that, but more quickly asked the questions.
