Donald Trump backed off his tough talk toward Fox News on Monday after he said network chairman Roger Ailes called him with assurances the network plans to cover him fairly.

“Roger Ailes just called. He is a great guy & assures me that “Trump” will be treated fairly on @FoxNews. His word is always good!” Trump tweeted.

The call from Ailes comes after a whirlwind weekend that pitted Trump against one of Fox News’ biggest stars, Megyn Kelly.

On Friday, Trump said Kelly had it out for him in Thursday night’s GOP debate, with blood coming out of her eyes or “wherever.” The comment was immediately panned by political and media pundits who believed that Trump was suggesting Kelly was menstruating....

Hannity is talking about Trump’s stand on issues now. Sounds good.

Between the post debate polling and MK losing 200k Twitter followers, I suspect that Mr Ailes saw the light. Lord thank you for giving us a fighter.

So is that like a thief promising to not break into your home after he’s already robbed you?

Perhaps you didn't hear about the debate last week... they try and torpedo Trump every chance they get.

Roger Ailes was about to see massive exit in viewership— MASSIVE. Why did Beyer and MyGyn plan to “bush whack” for Roger? Why was that. It is because Ailes is a RINO establishment LIBERAL. He is FOR BUSH!!Bush went down a huge 3 percent in the debate!! Ailes has no place to go!! All the leaders are now Non Establishment!! Nor GOP-E . Trump, Cruz Carson!! You can't make this up.
I will never watch MyGyn again unless she steps up,like a man, and apologizes with full contrition and admit she was paid to ask the stupid questions that sounded that they were from hillary!!

Oh, criminy, DT, don’t apologize! If you do, that’s when your numbers head south. Voters are sick of jelly-spined RINOs.

Some how I think we are all being played by all this.

That's always a possibility. What do you have in mind?

For the 5 minutes I tuned into Fox today to see where the Dow Jones was at, I noted a FOX commercial. Pictures of the three pretend moderators, with words proclaiming Fox’s great ratings and how they’re not afraid.

I figured they must really be nervous if they have to advertise that they’re not.

If the Moderators make themselves the Stars, it’s not a debate.

Does anyone remember the names of the moderators of the Lincoln-Douglas Debate?

.


the fox debate's silver lining is that the youtube video of the the two black women defending donald trump has gone viral ...

when was the last time that you saw anything like that ?

how about "never" ?


the fox debate's strategic result is that two (2) of Yeb's "flood the zone" candidates (Rand Paul and Marco Rubio) have been mortally wounded in the first debate ..

and ... def-con-one ... Ted Cruz is in second place ... way ahead of Yeb and John Kasisch ...


Merry Christmas, America !!!!!

” Who will assure Cruz of fair treatment?”

Trump made sure he got treated fair by playing hardball. Cruz is a great guy but he chooses the high road. When your in scumland the high road leads no where.

My thoughts exactly.What's wrong with these campaign managers? Working with Roger Ailes yet! Megan Kelly's boss! Rupert Murdoch's tool. Murdoch not even a U.S. citizen. Pffft.

My theory is that Trump and Cruz are playing “Good Cop...Bad Cop”, Trump takes the arrows for Cruz.

As soon as the “moderators” announced they had some real zingers (not sure if that’s the exact term), I knew it was about them, and not about the candidates and the American people.
