The media consensus after the first GOP debate in August was that the Fox News moderators had done a good job. The idea that they had done poorly was a minority view, outside of the fervent gallery of Donald Trump supporters.

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.
Mike Wallace is totally responsible for the Shah of Iran’s murder, and he PROUDLY ADMITTED IT!!
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?
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.
Or Hannity or Greta.
Wallace was a total jerk.
****************************
Just being his normal self as a snarky, slimy person who wants to do a “gotcha!” with everyone he interviews.
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?
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.
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.
Acorn doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Greta and Laura Ingraham would be great/fair. How about Ann Coulter?
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.
