After reading the remarks, I think a lot of folks here have very thin skins. In that, they resemble Donald Trump.
Now, I as much as anyone here am happy he is in the debate and bringing up issues that others are tiptoeing around - like our open border with Mexico. Without ‘the Donald’, we would not get straight answers from them. He is to be commended for that.
But, he was not treated unfairly. Does Mr. Trump actually think that his past remarks about various women would not be fair game if he goes up against Hillary Clinton? Surely Freepers ought to know that is true. So, IMHO, Megyn Kelly’s forceful questions on the subject were perfectly legitimate. I did have to laugh when his response was ‘only about Rosie O’Donnell.’ Now, that was funny.
I don’t think Donald Trump is a misogynist. But, he has a way of talking that is clearly bombastic intended to offend the target of his remarks. In a less PC world, folks would smile and laugh it off - as I do mostly. He doesn’t offend me beyond what I can tolerate, but then since I am a conservative and a Catholic, I am constantly exposed to things that may offend me, and it takes a lot to get my ire up.
We will all need to grow thicker skins. Hold on to you hats and your sanity, folks, we have 15 months ahead of us to choose a candidate. In the end, our goal is to get control of the Executive branch of the Federal government so we can turn around the decay that Obama and the Democrats are infecting our government with.
Moderators are there to help the audience learn more about the candidates so the audience can make informed decisions. The moderators are not there to take on the candidates themselves. There should be probing questions but when the moderators are the ones on offense against one of the participants and in the tank for another, that is beyond the pale. It's something people though Fox was above... until now.
It isn't that people are whining that Trump can't take it. He shouldn't have had to take it directly from the moderators. They clearly took sides and prevented Trump from speaking his own message as they let others do... especially Jeb.
No one likes to see an unfair match with the refs massaging the outcome of the game.
