Breitbart’s Editor Alex Marlow: Fox News ‘Trying to Take Out Trump’ for GOP Establishment
http://www.breitbart.com/ ^ | August 7, 2015 | Ian Hanchett

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow said the first primetime debate was “a great debate — between the Fox News anchors and between Donald Trump” with “establishment” Fox “trying to take out” the businessman and GOP frontrunner.

Marlow said that pollster Frank Luntz’s declaration that the primetime debate was “the destruction of a presidential campaign” for Trump is “wishful thinking.” He continued, “We saw what last night’s debate was, which was a great debate. It was a great debate between the Fox News anchors and between Donald Trump. There was also, I enjoyed the [Chris] Christie-Rand [Paul] spat. That was good too. But, for the most part, we saw that Fox was on a mission: they’re trying to take out Donald Trump.” He continued: “Fox is positioning themselves as a centrist network, as an establishment Republican network. They’re not interested in Donald Trump and his supporters. His supporters are grassroots conservatives, and that’s why he does so well.”

Marlow was then asked by substitute host Kate Boulduan what was wrong with “pushing” Trump? He answered, “There’s nothing wrong with pushing him on his record. It’s just the vitriol and the tone, I think made Trump seem like a victim. He was sitting there smiling in the beginning, while he’s essentially getting badgered.” Marlow said that he expected the opening to have something to do with Hillary Clinton or specific policy positions. “No, it was just, ‘are you going to pledge allegiance to the Republican Party?’ This is clearly a gotcha question, and it was a gotcha debate.”

I’m looking for a Megyn Kelly bounce for Trump. He’s not only a Teflon man, he absorbs the hits only to become even stronger!

Bingo, right on the nail, one hammer stroke, and Megyn “Jelly” Kelley is the prime culprit. They chose her to promulgate the “war on women” should there be any opposition.

Mr Trump....do not buckle down. We are counting on you to carry on the fight against the RINO’s.

They were doing the exact opposite. They gave Trump the exact set up he wants.

Poor Donald. Somebody hurt his little feelings. Sounds just like the whiney ass guy we got now in the WH. Megan Kelly was the best thing that could have happened to him. Now a lot of his trash is out in the open. Next time all he has to say is, “move on, that’s old news”. Does he not think the MSM just salivating to bust him with this stuff. Get real people. Don’t get snookered so soon. Sit back and enjoy the show. Let’s not make the mistake like the last two go arounds.

DUH I knew that from the “War on women” question..I bet Debbie Wasserman Schultz was the one that gave her the question, after the debate they were pretty chummy..and who asks someone from the DNC to come after a Republican debate to get their opinion, is Fox News serious..yeah the DNC is going to give the Republican debate rave reviews LOL..Fox News is in the tank for Jeb Bush they want him to be the nominee, they know if they take off the head of Donald Trump, then Bush has a clear path to the nomination. By the way, the way Kelly treated Cruz last night was so better

“Mayhem Kelly” - Michael Savage (one of his best shows ever)

Reinforces my reason to quit watching FOX propagandists 2-3 years ago. We decide what to report, so you can waste your time of life over what we are “reporting” on.

A sad night for America—Trump was wounded, but not out. Megyn Kelly was shown as a Petulent Liberal—she singlehandedly restarted the Democrats “War on Women” with her fake outrage—next she will be pro-abortion, plannned parenthood spokeswoman (to save the life of the mother) The cracks at Christians were a shocker as well. She should be knocked off Fox—but I am sure they have a place for her at CNN.

Thank you! Finally, someone speaking the truth about Trump.

They keep saying Fox stacked this for the establishment. Yet, at the focus group, they went ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT!

If the group had supported Jeb or Rubio I’d agree, but they didn’t. Surely, if Fox wanted only RINO’s, they would have stacked the focus group full of NON-Cruz supporters.

From the news media, the new hero from the debate is Gov. Kasich, because he came across as the jovial good-ole-boy and wasn't mean and seemed compassionate.

Notice who is getting almost zero coverage? Jeb Bush.

If the old adage — there is no bad publicity — is true, Trump is still making headlines this Saturday morning.

IMHO, at the next debate, Mr. Trump will again be asked: “Will you commit to support the GOP candidate, whoever it is?”

IMHO, Mr. Trump should answer, “Unless YOU can guarantee that that other GOP candidate will stop illegal immigration, NO!”

“This is not the time to put “loyalty to party” ahead of “Loyalty to America”!”

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. —Oscar Wilde
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Few years ago I heard a ‘local’ Talk Show Host say...

In this Job nothing worse than looking down at a phone with 6 or 10 ‘line’ buttons and see NONE of them lit up.

Back in my ‘drinking’ days used to hang out at a bar or 2 where some Pro Football players went....Loved to watch them get ‘weeweeed off’ if no one ‘bothered’ them while getting ‘weeweeed off’ because people wouldn’t leave them alone. Didn’t take long to figure out the only time they weren’t ‘weeweeed off’ is when someone else was buying the next round for them.....

My take ALWAYS was they apparently make more money than I, so they should have been buying ME drinks(rather than me buying them drinks).... <: <: <:
