Is Donald Trump fatigue setting in?
After fighting off attacks from all sides during Wednesday night’s debate, Trump stepped into his latest controversy at a campaign event in New Hampshire, and it appeared as if the GOP frontrunner’s week was as kind to him as he is to his adversaries.
Liberal and conservative pundits alike agreed that Trump’s performance took a back seat to his GOP rival, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who dominated the evening at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also made strong cases for themselves.
Trump’s glib insults, though warmly received at kickoff, did not fare as well later on as Fiorina and others addressed legitimate issues with poise and conviction. The standout moment when Fiorina got Trump to uncharacteristically back down from his comment about her face was just the feather in her cap.
For once, despite speaking the most, Trump was not the star of the show. Political commentators started questioning whether Trump-mania was fizzling out.

The MORE Mr. Trump points to Obama the CryptoMoslem
who has now valid SS#, and no records or past vetting,
the more he will WIN (unlike the butt licker, and
ISIS-founder, and slavery-enabler McCain).
+1,000.
Yahoo Sports: Alabama actually won the national championship (NCAA) last year. Or some other SEC team.
Yahoo Politics: Conservatives want to kill all women and minorities. And Hillary is awesome. Also, Global Warming.
That about covers it.
Why do I feel that Trump’s best week is about to start?!!!
These media weasels are just hilarious!
You nailed it. :^)
No one who is planning to vote for him sees this as a controversy.
From everyone I talk too, the media is a complete joke.
I started reading the article, and quickly got a WTF moment.
So I looked at the source and it was YAHOO.
Now I get it.
From everyone I talk too, the media is a complete joke.
The media has gradually done a huge shark jump in America and they are in mid-jump right now as we speak and have no conception of even how to stop.
Only since June.
It’s Yahoo. What else can we expect from those people.
I think Yahoo is built into computers. They will not go away.
Media whores have their marching orders.
Well, he bailed on the Heritage Foundation ... because he would actually have been expected to present coherent positions...so I’d say his bad week is due to him alone. But maybe the dog ate his homework.
[Why do I feel that Trump’s best week is about to start?]
TRUMP is being bullied by the MSM and GOP-e. Americans hate bullies. The Muslim flap will garner him more support. THE DONALD will rise in the polls.
I can’t watch ANY news anywhere on the internet... they ALL hate Trump and refuse to listen to anything against obama or clintons ... just Trump. I used to like Carly.. I don’t any more. the media has soured me against her by defending her. ANYONE the media likes, I won’t.
I want Trump to double down.. that question was a relevant question and one the media refuses to take on.. and have refused to take on..among many other ones. And that’s why the public is running scared of this administration.. and the media.
The media does not know how angry I am.. and I’m assuming more than just me.
I had the same thought. He's not too strong on substance and specifics.
Same here. Everywhere I went today people were talking about Jeb Bush and how great he was and how stupid they were for liking Trump to begin with. The said the debate opened their eyes like it was some sort of religious experience.
It looks like Bush is soaring. I expect he’ll be at 30% by Monday.
Counter polling. It’s building and effective, threatening to wear the Donald down.
He didn’t lose in the debate, he just didn’t win. I sense the media is getting ready to slice and dice Trump. I hope he has enough support and friends to fight back, he’s going to be up against a formidable wall himself.
This recent miff over Muslims. I’ve wondered if it’s some sort of ploy to paint a target on Trump. Pushing edges in a very high stakes game playing out behind the scenes.
Secretariat face.
