ALERT: Rush Limbaugh Drops BOMBSHELL About Order Fox News Received Just Before GOP Debate
Conservative Tribune ^ | 8-8-2015 | Conservative Tribune

Posted on 08/09/2015 5:57:32 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

The first GOP primary debate of the year, hosted by Fox News and moderated by three of their best, kicked off in headline-grabbing style when the moderator team backed candidate Donald Trump into a corner about the possibility of running on a third-party ticket.

But the attacks didn’t stop there. Out of the six questions that Trump was asked, most of them were nothing more than thinly veiled attacks in what conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh suggested was a targeted effort by the GOP establishment to slam the brakes on Trump’s momentum.

While Limbaugh had reported that there was a strong possibility that “big-time Republican donors had ordered to take out Donald Trump,” he and most others assumed the attackers would be Trump’s fellow candidates.

But when the debate wrapped up, he explained that Fox News was the real hit man.

Gee ... however will I get through today (with you being disappointed with me and all ...)

Gee, let me get this straight. You're the one who first posted your "disappointment" in my post. So then when I respond in kind with my disappointment in your post, you complain about it.

LOL.

I think it makes sense to let Fox take the heat for this instead of the candidates. It was a strategic decision.

“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,” Limbaugh said on his Friday show.

The people with the most air time were the FOX moderators... that's disgusting.

Chris Wallace and team ARE NOT 'in the arena', they're not the people we wanted to hear. It was a repulsive abuse of the power we give to journalists to assist us with knowing our candidates.

Oh, and Chris Wallace - the 24 million showed up to hear our guys - NOT to hear YOU..

“Trump has to learn how to insult without sounding like a juvenile.”

Worth repeating. He has to answer the point not the text. If Rosie was slim, beautiful and blonde he would have to answer about who she is, like Megan. I don’t like her but it has nothing to do with looks, it’s the looks that come from her expression.

Well, Hannity ain’t the sharpest cheese in

He is on at work. It is exasperating listening to him. He misses the point when talking to callers or “debating.” He is stuck to his Penny Plan which is quite absurd being that one congress cannot bind the next congress or prevent supplemental appropriations or the creation of “new” departments to spend new money to be reduced by 1% every year. Mostly I get the feeling listening to him that he has the right idea most of the time but he doesn’t understand.

Yep.... this is the beginning of the end for FOX News. They never understood who their viewers were. Rush was here before Fox News, and he’ll be here after Fox News.

I was going to reply point for point, but it's not necessary.

There may have been millions that could have gotten the message out about Hillary, but Fiorina DID it, and on Matthews show on top of that.

Her record at HP was less than impressive, but that was around when the tech bubble burst anyway. HP wasn't the only company that dropped in value or sent jobs overseas during that time, but unlike some it weathered that storm. As to whether her decisions helped in the long run, I'll be following that debate.

As for now, she is taking the fight to Hillary. If that's all she accomplishes in this cycle, I'll be happy with that.

Posting links about Rand Paul, who isn't even on my radar, proves nothing about Fiorina.

And I've seen enough of Cruz to be impressed. I don't know that he can win the middle in 2016, but if he gets the nomination I'll join in working to get him elected.

Per Clare Booth Luce, “Don’t complain, don’t explain”. Trump does neither - he only counter punches when he is attacked which he he did with Kelly and all the other nimrods he deals with on a daily basis.

His counter punch was in how well he replied to her questions, or attacks if you must. The "blood" comments were an unnecessary diversion, as he had already won that battle.

She said the wrong thing about Trump by siding with Megan, though.

She's entitled to speak her mind about Trump, just as he was to speak his mind about Kelly. In all fairness, I think she should have left that alone.

In fairness Matthews did not come out of the gate asking Carly if she would do to the U.S. economy what she did to HP

With good reason. What happened at HP was happening all over when the tech bubble burst, and that started on Clinton's watch. He likely knew that question would backfire.

Hannity is good to conservatives. BUT he
cannot get beyond the most superficial level
of debate....terrible at follow-up, incessant
use of lists is tedious....and he erroneously
thinks that liberal guests can be embarrassed when he
invokes some obviously shameful thing some other
liberal said or did.
