It was the most dramatic opening to a presidential debate in recent memory—and Donald Trump stole the show before he'd even said a word.
Perched comfortably at the top of the polls and lapping his closest rivals by double digits, Trump was expected to do well at the first GOP presidential debate of the 2016 season on Thursday night. The onus was on his competitors to seize the spotlight, but none of them managed to change the dynamics in a race that Trump has dominated for more than a month.

Trump didn’t hit any home-run’s, but I think he didn’t screw up at all. As for Fox News and their moderators....I give them a “D-plus”.

Did not watch debate, but reading reports afterward. Surprising that Trump did not commit a major gaffe. No headline grapping campaign ending quotes ? Even with Megan Killy going after him ?
CNN is pimping Trump after THIS debate? Sum Ting Wong. I’m still trying to figure out if he’s legit or a Ross Perot for Hillary.
That woman question/statement from Megyn was just $hitty - what does that crap have to do with debacles we’re facing!!
Apparently she was assigned as the Fox TrumpTaker-Downer (and I’m sure she didn’t mind) I laughed my butt off when he said Rosie O’Donnell.
"with 18 trillion in debt, you need someone like me to clean up the mess."
the mods where going after him on 4 bad business deals that went broke. 4 deals out of hundreds of deals. Trump also said that the investors that lost money knew the risks.
Murdock put out a contract on Trump and Kelly is the hit girl.

Perfectly stated. Rupert sent out a nice tweet to Trump a couple of days ago, in a likely attempt to get Trump to lower his guard.
#BimboBackfire for Fox.
I said that earlier. She did just what her boss told her to do. He may have even written her questions for her. That's not to say she wasn't happy to ask them. But she didn't do what she did w/o Murdoch's consent.
For the last few days, CNN has done a better job of talking about the GOP debate than Fox News.
Megyn Killer secretly likes Juan Ellis Bush & and Marco Rubio. And Greta was called a liberal by BOR. And those 2 dominate the prime time.
No it's on her megyn kelly
You people don't understand what we are up against
All of these media reporters are fanatical democrat marxist political hacks
We are fighting a cult , a marxist cult
Megyn kelly outed herself tonight by trying to destroy Trump
It's a religion to these media creeps. and they will destroy anyone that stands in the way of their cause their religion called socialism/marxism
That he opposed the war in Iraq and he thought that single payer worked.
The GOP on FNC showed the long knives for him.
No, I am not rooting for him.
But, I can understand that many are refreshed by his what looks like honesty, that many of the others miss.
Man, the look she gave him after asking that question..wow. Her forked tongue was flicking with hate. Wish I could find a screen grab to post.
#BimboBackfire indeed!
Just look at the thousands of negative comments on Kelly’s FB page:
https://www.facebook.com/MegynKelly
The fact that thousands of women on that page are lambasting Kelly and defending Trump points to a landslide for Trump and a nasty payback in the future for Kelly. She should look at early retirement when Trump wins.
I thought Cruz looked a lot better than Trump. Of course, I thought that before the debate as well...
Comments were removed. Cowards.
I just checked. The first two of more than 5,000 are still there.
Here’s the first two:

Megyn, your disdain for Trump has always been obvious, but to be in the position tonight that you’re in at the debate, and to start your questioning with Donald J. Trump the way you did...that’s what a liberal would do. I’ve lost all respect for you. I expected better from a Fox News employee. Especially you.

WTF was that!? How unprofessional! You attacked Trump on personal issues....FOX and the GOP are treating Trump unfairly. If he decides to go 3rd Party? it will be YOUR fault for not giving him a fair shake! It’s pretty clear, FOX and the GOP are railroading Trump......

Saw that, earlier. Someone just posted that she has removed all of the negative comments received.
I think most have been archived here, though.
“Surprising that Trump did not commit a major gaffe. No headline grapping campaign ending quotes ? Even with Megan Killy going after him ?”
On the contrary, Megyn tried to make him look like the bad guy in the war on women, but before she could finish her attack, he said something that made the audience laugh with him and against her. She was stunned and looked like she was ready to cry.
Slavery no longer exists as an institution in America, but Trump absolutely owned Megyn.
And from the unanimous comments on her facebook page, it’s safe to day that her career may be done.
