Just a little look back on the Fox debate's "nuclear option" for Trump and how they strategized for marching Trump off the stage. In advance.

Childish behavior for FOX NEWS.

Baier was dreaming.

Now we know that “Fair and Balanced” really means “Both sides of the Uniparty...ONLY”

Bret Baier is a p*ssy. Blood was probably coming out of HIS ‘wherever’ too.

That pasty faced goof ball needs to go back to weather forecasting where inaccuracy is the standard.

Watch Trump crush a Baier. Baier better reconsider just how powerful he is and don't underestimate the Trump.

I didn’t need 12 Steps to be Fox free for almost 30 days now. I did catch Levin on Hannity but that was to watch Levin, not Fox.

I’d like to say boycott Fox News, but I haven’t watched them in about 7 years anyway. But I still have cable so Fox still gets some money of mine. However, soon, I will be canceling cable TV completely. F ox.

So this is supposed to reflect poorly on Fox News?

It does no such thing.
I would hope they would escort anyone off the stage if they failed to adhere to the rules. They had a lot of candidates who wanted their moment

The fact that they did not have to use it shows that Trump could indeed follow the rules and that Fox News was not about to cause a scene unless necessary

Fox is in the tank for the GOPe. Its the analog to MSNBC for the Democrats.

Their ratings are upside down now with Republicans. Megyns unfavorables are also.

This doesn't should logical. But, I didn't expect FoxNew to screw up so badly either.

Who knows the truth?

Maybe just the LA Times kicking FoxNews in the head?

All their planning and gloating pre-debate is a part of the story that is never told post-debate. Fox intended to create controversy and ask questions that had no relevance to issues. It was a planned hit job.

Another aspect rarely mentioned: the Dims will not participate in a debate hosted by Fox this year, and I don’t think they ever have. So the Foxes have to show their rear ends when only the Republicans give them a chance.

Yes, Megyn Kelly bragged about how hard she and Brett Baier and Chris Wallace worked on coming up with questions designed to sink the Trump candidacy. It was really unbelievable how blatant they were with their first three questions.

I assume that they were responding to orders from someone up above. And, it did not surprise me that Wallace and Brett were so stupidly blatant about it because I don't think that either of them are too bright. But, I really think that Megan Kelly is bright enough to have known how obvious it would look to viewers. She should have done something. The three of them totally humiliated themselves. Who is Fox going to use in future debates? It's going to look very strange if the three of them show up again.

The “best” part about Fox’s debate planning was having Debbie Wasserman Schitz live on scene. As soon as the debate ended Kelly MeGYN immediately goes to her for her “Republicans are misogynists waging war on women” diatribe. What a set up.

“We don’t want to have to escort you to the elevator outside this boardroom.”

I’d be willing to bet Trump had security of his own who wouldn’t be too thrilled about him being manhandled by stagehands.

Oh I wish Bret had done that.

That would’ve been good for an additional 15-20 polling points for Trump.

They were all jacked up for Trump to do something crazy. When he didn’t, it completely threw them off their game, which is shameful of supposed “professionals”. Piss on em. I won’t watch the next Fox hosted debate, period.
