Overall, I think M. Kelly does a great job. And I don’t blame her for the questions, because I think the anchors - and whoever else - collaborated on them. HOWEVER, she and/or her cohosts did come out just after the debate and say that Trump was “going after” her. That sounds like victim language to me.

The questions posed to Trump were tabloid level questions. They did their best to embarrass and marginalize him by not asking any substantive questions on policy. They opened the debate with a question that targeted Trump.

No way was this objective, professional , fair or balanced.

"Overall, I think M. Kelly does a great job."

I used to think that, but then I began reading claims that she wasn't as conservative as most assumed, and have recently observed her just getting more full of herself by the day. That debate "performance" was atrocious. I'm a Cruz supporter, but can also see the value that Trump has brought to the political conversation by forcing other candidates and the media to directly address the issues we face, without all of the typical political doublespeak and bowing to political correctness.

This debate was a precious opportunity for the candidates to emphasize the severe problems facing the country, and to state their solutions to those problems. But Megyn specifically, and Fox in general, wasted that opportunity by engaging in idiotic tabloid nonsense. Not only was Trump justified in firing back, but if it were me I would have been far harsher in responding to Megyn's moronic "war on women"-related question. The proper response to any such PC question is to dismiss it out of hand as the foolishness that it is, and Trump did just that.
