The Orders to Take Out Trump Must Have Gone to Fox, Not the Other Candidates

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: It was just 24 hours ago, ladies and gentlemen -- a mere 24 hours ago -- that I was behind this very Golden EIB Microphone informing you that I had come across a bit of news. The bit of news was that big-time Republican donors had ordered to take out Donald Trump in the debate last night.

We all made a mistake. We assumed that the orders went out to the candidates. But the candidates did not make one move toward taking Donald Trump out. The broadcast network did; the candidates didn't. I mean, let's review. The first question from Megyn Kelly to Trump was, "You've called women fat slobs, pigs, whatever," and he said, "No, just Rosie O'Donnell." The place starts laughing and so forth, but she's not amused, and she tells him, "No, it's more than that."

She keeps going on and on and on about it, and says, "Is this the right kind of temperament?" Whatever it was. Trump was clearly caught entirely off guard by it, and even today he said, "I'm not... I don't know when I've ever said this stuff." Who knows if he writes all of his tweets that he posts. You know, this is the danger that when you start going in the social media stuff and tweeting stuff and maybe you hire somebody to do it for you.

No what you saw was a man who got thrown a left hook right out the gate....who didn't see it coming so soon. No wonder Fox hosts took so much time even getting the candidates on stage....and why Kelly was so kiddy and childlike....THEY knew what was coming and it had nothing to do with ‘opening’ a debate with well thought out questions requiring straight answers from the candidates on where they stood on issues.

It was “designed” to throw Trump off his game...it worked for the most part.... and would have done so for any one candidate Fox choose to throw fistfulls of “mud” in their faces.

They have already ran with, “when did you stop beating your wife”.

You obviously were watching a different debate than the rest of the world

Not only did I watch both debates, I highly recommend others rewatch the Trump train wreck.

I downloaded both debates (before YouTube deleted them) and stayed up to 4 am watching them again. Lets just say I slept in late today.

This is all predicated that it worked, which as of right now, we so evidence that Trump has been harmed politically by it.... Lets be real here, no one is really watching the debates but the diehards, and part of Trump’s appeal and how he survived the attempts to destroy him over the mexico statements was simply See, I told you, I say something and you guys misreport it you are all biased and liars.

Seems all they have done is reinforce something he’s been saying from the start and that is also part of his appeal.

I think the writing off of Trump because of the debate is wishful thinking at this point.

I can’t say Trump is my guy, but I really don’t see this as somehow a death blow to him.

Not by a longshot. Trump has the highest post debate poll numbers of any of his fellow candidates, by a margin of about 2 to 1.

I’ve never been a fan of Megyn Kelly, and I can’t say that I’m surprised that she would behave as she did last night.

Fox is just preparing him for the attacks he will surely face.

The evil three GOPe pukes moderating were not there to prepare Trump. They were trying to destroy Trump to help their rabid Statist hero, Jeb.

This environment does indeed help prepare Trump, regardless of Faux's attempt at destroying him.

In last night’s debate thread at least two freepers suggested that GOP “hitman” Karl Rove was behind the “gotcha” questions that GOP hit-people Fx News “moderators” were throwing at Trump.

All the candidates got hit in opening questions. Some like Trump just have more ammo out there to pick from. Face it, like it or not, Trump has a big unguarded mouth and trying to laugh it off as a joke and then having it shown that he is lying in doing so did not help.

You know what was sad last night? They could have asked only one question and destroyed the rat party. “70 years ago today, the most devastating attack in human history took place. It was the first time that a WMD was used and it killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Recently Obama signed a deal with terrorist state Iran giving them a clear path to build a bomb and destroy Israel and America. In recent days Chinese and Russian diplomats met with Democrats to tell them to approve Obama’s deal. Why is President Obama and the Democrats taking our enemies side over our allies.”

Then let them talk for an hour.

If they wanted to add a second question, I would show the videos of the Planned Parenthood conversations and ask how a blob of cells has a heart, lungs, kidneys and why are most of these facilities filthy and in urban areas, yet they are getting a 1/2 billion a year from the US taxpayer.

After listening to the responses of everyone, a decision could clearly be made as to who our next President should be.

I really must be out of the loop because I have not watched Fox since about 2001. I thought they pretended to be something they were not. I did not even know who Kelly was. I do not watch any news unless the weather is bad. I kinds like knowing if a tornado is headed my way and Facebook is great for that.

the other candidates are vying for a VP slot, so watch future debates being even softer on Trump by them

You’re a wise woman, MamaB. :) This is also a good place to check on the weather:

Zuckerberg has a seat at the NWO table (kids table). He’s just taking orders too, IMO.

Trump is saying what many of us would like to say, but are afraid to say. The more he speaks out, the more his support grows.

Or the other candidates saw what a mess Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum made of it and left them hanging. What a couple of tools they are.


Yes

I have a college friend in MS. He keeps an eye on the weather and sends me their radar images which includes this area. During the latest tornado a few years ago, FB was the only way I kept up with the weather. All power here was out. I used my cell phone and used my car to keep it charged. The local tv stations used FB to inform people about the weather, where gas stations had power, where ice could be found, etc. Was a very interesting time.
