I’m not really sure what will happen tonight. I truly hope that Donald Trump will keep his word and follow through on his decision to not attend the debate and hold a separate forum in Des Moines, but who knows. For now, C-Span says they will cover it.
Sometimes it’s best to walk away from a bad deal and not look back. It’s another opportunity for Trump to “teach us.†I guess we’ll see. Hopefully we won’t get whipsawed all day long and that the Des Moines rally is on and FR people here will participate.
It seems pretty clear to me that Trump was tipped off about an unformatted ambush with other activist questioners, (who may not even be Americans), with their own agendas. Did they intend to pull a Jorge Ramos on him to disrupt—maybe to get him to walk off the stage or say something regrettable?
Whose idea was it in the first place to have these people ask questions? This is the kind of maneuver we’d expect from a more left wing station, not Fox, but we’ve sure learned something this past year, haven’t we about this network, and the people we’ve allowed in our homes day in and day out?
And who wrote that chicken bleep press release that mocked Trump with references to our enemies? Was it Ailes himself? I sense the good people like Jeanine Pirro and Brett Bair are pretty embarrassed this morning. They should all be.
The Fox network intent, as I see it, is more ominous and thinly cloaked and perhaps about other things. Megyn Kelly’s objective was to make her the center of attention over the candidates and her colleagues, but already Rupert Murdoch voices his desire to have Michael Bloomberg enter the race, and we’re hearing of some backdoor dealings of his, and Fox, that favors illegal immigration. I guess we will see what is fact and what is fiction eventually.
Make no mistake, immigration, legal and illegal over the past 25 years, has altered the cultural and political trajectory of our country. Who can say if this is good or bad? It really depends on who you are. I worry that ultimately it will affect our freedoms.
Ted Kennedy and other passive politicians from both sides, and presidents have got the politics wrong about immigration. It used to be that immigrants coming here from wherever, and their offspring proudly said they were “Americans†first. Now, I’m not so sure.
Was that the political intent? To ultimately change the complexion of our nation and endanger our freedoms by pitting us against one another, and to have people coming here not to assimilate with us, but to defy us?
This will all pass, just like it did in 1980 when Ronald Reagan chose not to debate George Bush before the Iowa caucus, and maybe, before it does, it will turn the Iowa caucus on its ear with a surprise winner. I think all of us have seen through the rallies that Iowans are a special brand of people.
Those Iowans, that “usually get out and voteâ€, are a microcosm of the people we used to be, before John Kennedy was killed. They usually vote in the end for “the person who appears to have the best heart.†I think it’s Trump, they might think it’s Carson. I only hope that they do not take his refusal to debate as a personal affront to them.
All of our candidates are true patriots. Any one of them could lead our country better than the people who have led us these past eight, maybe 24 years. Whomever wins the nomination should have our support.
I pray that God gives each of these people the wisdom to do what is best for the people of our country. Can Fox say that the organization and spirit of their debate had that same intent? I truly doubt it.
Had to get out of the Cruz Crew Vile Pile. I believe I will spend my time here instead tonight.
Sis called All her family is behind Trump (6kids and spouses ). She wanted to make sure she had the right channel. Was all choked up. — we are witnessing history -— this nightmare (0) will soon be over!
Nope... only thing are those Monster Truck contests...
I’m waiting to go to dinner... then I’ll double back here to see what y’all have posted... :-)
Then beddy bye... (didn’t bring my guitar :-( bu pen and paper is always a close second...)
Could post the link, please. I want too make sure I get the right fed.
Trump will sing I have friends in low places.
Over $250,000 raised and the even has not been held yet.
That’s great!
Trump event moved up to 8pm? Might appear at Fox Debate now?
Not "it"
One America News is through Roku.
Live streaming on Netflix.
;0)
Sounds like they actually said they changed to Trump because he had brass balls.
TUNED in to OAN and anxious for the rally to begin! Donated earlier.
I was thinking earlier that all FOX had to do was just run a clean debate.
None of the “killshot” leaks and snarky tweets. They could have had 3 different moderators and had a debate that people would have all watched. Instead they had to sensationalize it for ratings and to take out Trump.
RNC is equally responsible.
I don’t think FOX News Channel is capable of that.
The were saying the line stretches almost to the debate.
I am so happy that OANN is doing this!
They deserve our support!
Not sure what to think about Megyn Kelly. Is this Romper Room for her? Are these people the cream of the crop with journalists?
Thank You Nikos!!!
As much as I like Cruz it is surprising at how bad a debater he actually is. He really has lost every debate and especially the last one.
Yeah; Brit’s little head taking over for big head when it comes to MK.
One of the CNN women said tonight that a True journalists would never make themselves the story. She indicated they would be repremanded if they did become the story
It is on at 9 p.m. EST, as far as I can tell..
So Central time would be 8 pm?
