No offense, OP, but I think people are getting waaay too carried away with this debate, Trump, and Meghan Kelly.
Slow down, take a breath, and let this play out a bit. People are getting wrapped around the axle. Trump’s a big boy he’ll survive. Certainly not all, but most of the candidates would be great, and light years better than Mullah Obama.
The questions aren’t going to be any easier when its 1 democrat and 1 republican on stage.
Let everybody face the flamethrower or we’ll end up with another weak candidate.

I wouldn’t bet on that. There are powerful forces that want him out of the race. He is seen as an existential threat to the comfortable status quo and business as usual corruption and mismanagement in Washington DC. Those in the corridors of power get nervous when he speaks. It won’t be one big blow, but rather death by a thousand cuts. They are going to work him over good with the help of their funding “partners” and allies in the media.
Telling people to “take a breath” is just a bit condescending.
You are right. Trump will take care of himself.
But the point is he was attacked. The vicious attacks took speaking time away from other candidates. Personally, I wanted to hear more from Ted Cruz and Scott Walker. I wanted the uninitiated to hear from them as well.
When our country has been taken on a death spin by the current administration we have every reason to be excited. The stakes are high—higher than ever in my lifetime. We want sane voices to be heard. The huge audience for this so-called debate had a chance to hear more from credible candidates but the facetime for the moderators and the time for Trump to defend himself detracted from that.
Whoever wins the nomination is going to get much worse than this in the debate against the Dem nominee. Plus there will be constant attacks in the major media. Better to get used to it now.
I’d rather have a hardhitting debate than to throw a bunch of softball questions. These guys need to toughen up to win the WH.
I think they all handled the questions well and if 0vomit was rubbing his hands in glee at the thought of a hatchet job he must have been sorely disappointed.
