"Yes I am a big government, pro-government healthcare kind of guy who thinks paying politicians for favors is good business!"

A few hours before Thursday’s Fox News debate, a friend of Donald Trump’s confided to me that Trump was nervous. Not about the competition — he could handle them. No, Trump worried about Fox News, and in particular, debate moderator Megyn Kelly. She’d been hammering him all week on her show, and he was certain she was out to get him.
He had canceled a Fox News appearance on Monday night, the friend said, in order to avoid her. (Trump’s spokeswoman wouldn’t confirm or deny this.)
It turns out Trump was right. His toughest opponents Thursday night weren’t the candidates up on stage, but the Fox News moderators, who went right after him — none with more gusto than Kelly.
Kelly, the whip-smart queen of Fox News' blonde stunners, went straight for the jugular. "You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals," she admonished Trump. "Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?"
But Trump saw her coming a mile away and cut her off. "Only Rosie O’Donnell," he barked, drawing cheers from the crowd.
When Kelly tried to point out that he had insulted more women than O’Donnell, Trump, as he would all night, steamrolled right past her. "The big problem this country has is being politically correct," Trump practically shouted, invoking conservatives’ favorite term of disdain. "I’ve been challenged by so many people and I don't frankly have time for total political correctness and to be honest with you this country doesn't have time either." The crowd went wild.
Maybe they were cheering because the question was apropos of something Rachel Maddow would ask, and they were, after all, Republicans......

The Trump-Jeb Show the MSM is trying to create was plain as day during the debate
Trump is poison ivy. The media hates the itch. They claw and scratch at it and it spreads. The public told them to leave it alone! They refused to listen!
Trump was awful, I expected more from him. No plan , no ideas just anger. Cruz was presidential!
Lousy moderation, biased questions . Backlash in Trump’s favor.
Fox is now no different than any other news network. They have gone Elitist.
I was embarrassed for Fox. They showed complete bias against Trump.
Your breath stinks, want a mint?
Trumps poll numbers reflect just how much disdain Conservatives have for Career Politicians & MSM!
Megyn?
You should also post the picture of Carly sitting with WJC at a Clinton Foundation event.
Guess her call came earlier and she’s trying to keep it secret
The problem is they are trying to make the news instead of just reporting it.
Ted it’s 9 AM and you already smell like a gin mill.
Cruz is hitting ‘em high; Trump’s hitting ‘em low. I like it.
Well, Trump sure seemed like an un-Presidential jerk to me. Hillary will wipe the floor with his bombastic sexist ridiculous self-important me-me-me America-loses crap, and we can all congratulate ourselves again.
Seriously... What has come over “Conservatism?”
WFB wouldn’t give this jackass the time of day. I’ve read his books...
He’s not even a conservative!
Why are we willing to lose for a reality TV actor?
ANSWER ME, FRiends!
In fact, Fox News did some damage to their brand. Singling out Trump at the beginning of the debate lost them a lot in their war on Media Bias. It was clear media bias on display. Megan’s “It’s all about me” should disqualify her from another debate if Trump is involved.
