Trump isn’t afraid of the media and will talk back to the media, and people like this, because people hate the media. The more they try to ambush him, the better it gets.

As far as I’m concerned Fox News Network is the “whore” of the MSM....

Wallace and FOX “News” attacks Trump
as he soars.

Romney and surrogates attack Gov. Palin and children
on EVE of election 2008.

What is the difference? NONE.
They both result from undocumented Democrats and
terrorist- and criminal-supporters.

Interesting that after Trump, Cruz was the only one to score in the double digits.

Bush disappointed me by not flaming out. Neither did he do well, which is a kind of good news.

Rubio is very telegenic, sounds good, not sure if he will move up, but that worries me because I trust him so little. If Jeb stays in, we need Rubio to run him hard in Florida and knock him out there.

I'm not sure Trump did so well as Drudge is saying (it's an online poll), I thought he made some mistakes and did not look good. So far I have enjoyed how he's changed the race, but he fared poorly last night IMHO, was offputting a bit. Did okay, just dropped a bit.

Cruz did well, gave himself an upward trajectory, I like that.

Walker did so so, debates are not his strong suit.

Carson helped himself a lot.

I hat to say it, but Huckaphony did well, of all the people I didn't want to score points, he likely did. He needs to just go away, but now he won't.

I am thinking the GOPe will shift to Kasich now, but we'll see. He did well, although I personally hated his new touchy feely emotional side.

Paul was Paul, okay, showing some of the nutter sides of his dad.

Crispy did okay, I loved the way Paul reminded him of his hug for the bamster. I want him out ASAP, he's just a drag.

I found it good to watch, other than Cruz my faves were Jindal and Fiorina in the first debate. They killed it.

It's a tough venue with this many candidates, clearly it won't consolidate until close to the first real primaries.

We did get a glimpse of how each one looks telegenically, speaks, and handles a tough panel. The panel was tough on everyone, including the RINOs.

The loser was Megyn Kelly.

She self-destructed.

At this rate, the only one who might possibly be able to overtake Trump would be if Betty Boop were to run.

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

I think one of the best moments (there were several) was when Wallace tried to get Kasich to attack Trump. When he didn’t, Wallace moved on to Rubio. So obvious!

A web-based poll that allows repeated voting.

I’m very pleased about Cruz. It’s his race to win.

His little girls were so adorable at the end of the debate.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend dear Onyx.

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.”

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?
