Donald Trump vs. Fox News: ‘I got you the highest debate ratings in your history’
CNN Money Article on wtvr.com ^ | 8/7/2015 | CNN Money

Trump’s battles with Kelly will probably further burnish the anchorwoman’s reputation as a tough-as-nails television star. The conservative cable news channel has sought to market Kelly as a strong and independent voice.

Inside Fox, the view at the end of the debate was that all three moderators — Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace — had fared well, and that Kelly was the stand-out.

Some political observers said that Fox’s post-debate coverage seemed tilted against Trump, partly because of a Frank Luntz focus group, convened by Fox and televised immediately after the debate, that had an anti-Trump tone.

Trump was incensed by the focus group.

“Where did you find that dumb panel” he asked Luntz via Twitter.

He also tweeted that Luntz is “a low class slob who came to my office looking for consulting work and I had zero interest. Now he picks anti-Trump panels!”

“The panel list came from the same GOPee conference that Rick Santorum mentioned. Therefore they were all establishment. GOP.set FOX up ??”

The majority of the panel was for Trump when the debate started, they raised their hands for Trump. When the debate was over, a number of them changed to Cruz and Huckabee. The major complaint about Trump was he didn’t give any details how he would accomplish any of his goals.

Savage was on a role today about how Megyn’s looks are changing and I must say, i thought the same thing myself. Her face looks a little different. I was thinking she probably lost some weight and it shows in her face. Did you hear the black lady that called in from Alabama saying how much they all love Trump?

It will be more than Fox. Expect the department of just us and the IRS to take a sudden interest in Trump. Meanwhile hitlery continues to walk free.

Thank you. Its easy to see why Sarah and Trump have a positive relationship. I certainly hope there will be a major role for her in the Trump/Cruz administration.

“If you go back and examine the questions that were asked of Trump, it's apparent that most of them were of a personal nature, while the questions asked of nearly every other candidate were about the issues.”

The first question Trump responded to was would he quit the Republican Party and go independent with his campaign? He would not say he wouldn't. He said he has “leverage” by not answering that question. In other words, if the Republican Party wasn't nice to him, he would go independent - using his “leverage” to make the Party do as he wants or he would leave them, making the Democrat win. Every word out of his mouth is of a personal nature. That is what a narcissistic person does. I believe he has these traits.

Consider the below in quotes:

From the DSM V - Personality Disorders

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Grandiosity
Feelings of entitlement; self-centeredness; belief that one is better than others

Attention seeking
Excessive attempts to attract and be the focus of the attention of others
End of quotes.

Immigration/The Wall/Trade/ISIS/all of it - he makes it all personal by calling fellow candidates nasty names if they differ from him on any of these subjects and has called almost every one of them a nasty name in the past several weeks. He calls everyone a nasty name TO MAKE IT PERSONAL. He doesn't like the question, call the moderators nasty names, tell Fox to fire Krauthammer, call the gathered voting group “dumb people”, say there needs to be another news group, not Fox.

The same thing will happen at the next debate which is the CNN debate.

I love you, Windy, but I'll stick to my opinion of his behavior - psychological evaluation of his past behavior and his current behavior to predict he will repeat this behavior of personal nasty names until he can't stand it anymore, then he will explode and either quit and try to hurt everyone he can with his money, or he will go third party to punish all he now hates, and hand the election to the Democrat. My opinion is, he is vindictive to the extreme.

That's what they told you.☺

Anyone capable of critical thought could see it for what is was. A staged show of card carrying GOP groupies. Party first over everything.

It's what got America where it is today.

Party first? They changed their opinion from Trump to Cruz and Huckabee, neither of which is GOPe.

Your opinion is free and in this case worth every penny.

News Flash! Fox is so proud of their 3 flacks’ performance last night that they preempted BOR and have Baier and Chris Whutzisface on, lying their a$$es off about how the questions were arrived at; how terrible Trump did, how kool it was when Yebby rolled his eyes in contempt of Trump, etc. I switched it off before I developed projectile nausea.

Ingraham said on her radio show today that the candidates must be given hard questions because the MSM will be asking them in the future & they need to get used to it.

Unbelievable. The whole world saw what they did, and instead of issuing a mea culpa to the citizens of America, they double down on their moronic stunt.

What elitist scum...

Megyn should have stuck with her bimbo career. Instead, she tried to be a journalist and screwed it all up.

I really don’t see a thing to disagree with here.

From what I’ve read about Trump, he refers to himself in the third person-—as “The Trumpster.”

Listen to his conversations...”I,I,I,me, me, me.” Everything to do with him is the best, the greatest in the world, the most fantastic, etc.

I’m sorry, but I have never found narcissism and arrogance to be desirable personality traits. They turn me right off, which is why I have always found Trump distasteful.

The gross factor only increases when he loses the tenuous control he has of his mouth...the latest being blood shooting out of Megyn Kelly’s “whatever.”

I don’t want that in the White House and I don’t apologize for it.

I noticed all the RNC tshirts in the audience, and that was my first clue.
