Why, why, why do the GOP candidates even take part in the mainstream media debates, when the DEM candidates are never seen on the FOX or any other Republican based media held debate. The GOP are stupid!

Bret was a decent guy - I only gave him one x for attack.

Snarky Chris was his usual self - he got 9xs for attacks.

Megyn was a little better this time - only 8xs for attacks.

As a Conservative, here’s my rankings of the candidates after the completion of the “debate”:

Cruz
Christi
Bush
Carson
Rubio
Kasich
Paul

I’ve been amazed that the NYC talking heads and pundits have been saying they think Rubio won... Must be those “NYC values”, where they’re used to politicians lying.

Time for Faceless Moderator Debates, with Time Referees with the power to shut off microphones after a fair warning signal and the candidates questioning each other directly.

Who gives a flying f* what ANY News Personality thinks about ANYTHING?

We need to fight that stranglehold, not accept it.

as someone in the new media said the other day, we have the new media, let's use it. Forget about the LSM. They're over.

"But of course the whole idea was to make the Fox hosts the stars of the show, not the candidates.", which why moderators should be chosen from the jury pool of the state in which the debate is held. Remember Joe the Plumber.

Say what?

The Shah of Iran died from complications of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (non-Hodgkins lymphoma) on July 27, 1980, aged 60. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat gave the Shah a state funeral. In addition to members of the Pahlavi family, Anwar Sadat, Richard Nixon and Constantine II of Greece attended the funeral ceremony in Cairo.

Fox News should immediately report how little this debate was watched. They gonna refund their advertisers for paying good money for something people didn’t watch?

We no longer see the candidates debate one another, they must now debate the dishonest moderators.

One day somebody Wallace pulls that crap on is going to reach across the table, grab him by the lapels, and punch him right in his g*d@mned mouth.

And I'll LMAO when it happens.

Whoever wins is going to have to cope with whatever liberal moderators the Dems and their media buddies give us

No, you're wrong.

After last night, the Dems and their media buddies are going to have to do what they're told. The "rules" (the fake ones) are being rewritten.

There is a four-member coalition which desires to seize, or has seized, control of the process by which a President is chosen.

The four members are the media, the pollsters, the consultants, and the donors.

The ACTUAL authorities with LEGITIMATE interests are the State Legislatures, who have plenary power to appoint the electors (except for the three electors Congress granted itself in 1960 by Constitutional amendment), and the voters in those States if the Legislature has provided for appointment of electors by voting.

It is vitally important that all four elements' participation in the choice of a President - media, pollsters, consultants, and donors - be ended as soon as possible.

Trump is on the case.

Someone who deserves to be President has to be bigger - much bigger - than Chris Wallace or Candy Crowley. The way our masters have configured THEIR process, that's not possible.

Now, we see them for what they are. Thank you, Mr. Trump.

You are right! Sorry...It was Anwar Sadat!! Mike Wallace was interviewing the Ayatollah, and he said "Ayatollah, this does NOT come from me but from Anwar Sadat, and he says you are CRAZY....not from me but from Anwar Sadat"......and Sadat was assassinated less than a week later!

On Wallace's retirement show they showed that and Wallace took CREDIT for Sadat's death!! HORRIBLE!

And I'm amazed you don't know that they're working from a script.

We never did. The "debates", complete with Big Man Moderators™ and a Federal Commission on Presidential Debates to make it look official, are part of a scheme to transfer the power to choose a President from US (acting through our State Legislatures) to THEM.

Trump just shouted out that the wannabe Emperor has no clothes.

The modern Television “Debate” certainly NOT a debate in any form or fashion. I watched the first three or four last year before giving up in disgust.
As Rush said yesterday, the modern TV debate is now more about the TV personalities and which can ask the snarkiest question than the candidates or their policies and plans.
In the first Fox debate show and the others I watched, the only questions asked Trump were Gotcha questions and to a lesser degree, the same with the other fortyleven candidates on stage.

Since I have no vote in this, I am still hoping Trump trumps.
Come November, if it ain’t Trump or Cruz, it will be third party or leave that line blank for me.

Fox news thinks the moderators are the debaters.
