NO APOLOGIES
TRUMP DOMINATES DEBATE; DRUDGE POLL
FOXNEWS SCORES RECORD RATINGS




If Roger Ailes' employees don’t wind up picking the party’s nominee, it won’t be for lack of trying.

Seems the “moderators”, aka Hit Squad, spoke more than the candidates.

From Drudge Report:
“The analysis notes Fox moderators Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier spoke for 31 minutes and 53 seconds of the roughly two-hour broadcast, or 31.7% of the time.”

He certainly didn't win anyone over when he doubled down on his support of NSA surveillance.

You could click a second time but it clearly tracked your cookies and did not count the vote. In the corner of the screen you could see “you have already voted.” I tried myself (to see if it was a valid poll of course).

Trump did not lose last night. Most of his support is from conservatives who despise the corrupt media.

Believe me I don’t support Trump based on his promise of “big huuuge fences” or because we’re “getting ripped off by China” or “Japan is ripping us off too with all their cars” or “Mexico is so much smarter than our dumb politicians.” All if this is (mostly) true.

I support Trump because I despise the media and their bias, double standards and politically correct policing. And last night made me despise them even more.

Believe me, if Trump were asked fair questions about how he’d fight terrorism or how he’d cut government waste and he started rambling, I’d admit it. But this was an historic hatchet job.

Here’s basically the questions he got.

Do you promise not to run as an Independent (after we take you out)?
Why do you hate woman so much?
Tell us more about your 4 bankruptcies?
Why are you a conspiracy theorist about Mexico?
Why do you call Republicans clowns and puppets?

Vote as often as you want. Not to accurate of a poll. I wish it was a one vote only.

You just think you're voting multiple times.

Take note at the top:
Thank you, we have already counted your vote.

“Because they asked The Donald a few difficult questions, to which he responded poorly? Poor widdle man, The Donald. Getting picked on by a girl.”

Well Theo, from the looks of things, you’re out on that limb by yourself. But it is sad that “politicians” have dug themselves such a deep hole with the citizens that Trump becomes their answer.

This Drudge poll is absurd and ridiculous.

No way can I see The Mouth leading with 46%.

Another example of how way off and inaccurate this poll is is to look at the Christie/Paul Rankings.

I don’t like either of them but it’s safe to say CHRISTIE PWND PAUL. Verbally kicked his butt. Even Trump nailed it when he told the liberaltarian; “You’re having a bad night.”

Yet Paul did better (6.38) than Chris (1.27)?

This poll is CRAP!

Bush all that cash, and can’t buy a vote. Bush 2nd to last by a wide margin.

Bush has to see the Architect Rove to build him a personality.

Next time let Carly in the debate and kick Crispy Cream out

“Here’s hoping that those currently voting for Trump will give their votes to Cruz after Trump self destructs. Trump is a short-tempered, self-centered, chaotic ass.”

That’s Cruz’s gameplan. Trump isn’t winning this and the only other candidate who comes close to Trump’s loathing of the establishment is Cruz.

I have a completely different gripe:

I am royally pissed that these debates are being held on TV channels which I have to pay to see. What were the candidates & the RNC thinking?????? Just because I am retired & living on SS, I should still be able to get the broadcast of the debates on my antenna TV reception. I should NOT have to pay for these debates.

Seems everyone under 40 thinks that ‘we all’ have a cell phone—a $4000 laptop computer & a 400 channel satellite package. WE DO NOT!!! Where I live, within 4 miles, there are homes that are OFF THE GRID...

As important as this coming election is, I feel that everyone in the country should have full access. Many retirees have dropped their pay TV because of the cost. BUT we still vote!!! They are on restricted income, and other items have gone much higher, so the pay channel TV services have had to be dropped.

Someone needs to rethink this debate structure!!!!

I’m beginning to think that is his draw. Joe six-pack has a voice in Trump. The imperious msm is being put back into their place.

Fights with his mouth and a twitter feed. That’s fighting? Over the last four years how much has Trump donated to support 2nd Amendment rights, pro-life groups, pro-marriage groups and etc.?

Imagine what he could do with a million dollars placed in the Minute Men’s group to guard the boarder. He’s done nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. All hat and no horse. All pole and no fish.

He’s as fake as Obama.

I’m wondering where all these clowns are coming from?

Trump has DOUBLE the numbers of his closest competition, but they act like someone else just HAS to be the nominee....

WTF!
