After we vote out democrats we need to vote out the GOPe...
Oh, and a pox on Fox...
Actually, it was Bret Baier’s plan to have him escorted from the stage. I didn’t mean that he would literally do it - it may have been a bimbo who was scheduled to do it. They obviously backed off it during the actual debate.
FOX has lost its mind, Annie!
Were’s papa Cruz lately? Have you seen anything of him lately?
Anymore predictions?
Thanks.
Well, this would certainly explain any and all distrust and Trump’s willingness to simply not show up.
Who would willingly go back out on the debate stage with Fox after finding out about this?
I quit FOX years ago for their sensationalizing and untruths.

I keep asking this, but have not seen a definitive answer.
Was this uncovered by Breibart, or was this told to the candidate before hand, so they would have known before hand?
So, Fox has a debate, and they do not divulge that it will include other questioners? Not from the audience or online, but plants?
I think this is despicable.
Hahahahaha...That’s a good one. The man will relish throwing Trump under the bus, and I’m quite sure that will be a question for the group, so they can all pile on.
Jeb will do his usual...na na na na na!!!
Why do something like that? First off, it’s not allowed, secondly that man is way ahead in the polls. YOur suggestion is a stupid one.
Oh look at that. Didn’t even have to wait a full day for Cruz to joi......Oh wait, CHALLENGE TRUMP TO A ONE ON ONE!
Just started my 5th year of not watching FOX PROGRAMMING. Life is great.

I have several pet peeves regarding these Republican debates.
1) Fox News is terrible in how they are conducting the debates.
1a) The debates aren’t about Fox News.
1b) I really am disturbed by the hosts, spending 30 minutes before the candidates speak, talking about how great a debate they are going to conduct. Don’t waste our time talking about how you are going to talk about the issues for 30 minutes before even beginning to talk about them. Simply spend 30 seconds introducing yourselves and begin the event. This is NOT the typical morning coffee clutch news forum, where modern journalism wants to be your friend hanging around the water cooler.
1c) They then talk to the audience at the arena, pumping them up. Do that 30 minutes before you go live.
1d) Knock off the adversarial journalism. The candidates are supposed to be debating issues between themselves, not engage in a debate with the moderator. The questions shouldn’t be zingers like a 60 Minutes probe into the candidates assumed criminality. Treat them like the leaders they are, and allow the forum to develop mature political positions.
1e) There should never be a personal conflict between a moderator and the candidates. If Fox News can’t find another moderator at a moment’s notice, then they really aren’t a national league news organization. It isn’t about Fox News.
2 Re: Mr. Trump.
1a) Just because you have some poles giving you 40% ratings, doesn’t mean you won the debate and nobody anywhere thinks you didn’t win the debate.
Your 40% vote implies a majority of those polled, (some 60% to be exact), DON’T think you are the winner. They just don’t know who to vote for yet, but they DIDN’T vote for you.
The more I hear Donald Trump bloviate and talk himself into believing his own glory, the more he sounds like a conservative flavor of Obama. This means that if Trump get’s the nomination, he’s less likely to attract liberal voters away from a Democratic nominee, because they will simply equivocate his position as a complement to a liberal bloviating egotist and think politics really isn’t any different between liberal and conservative policymakers.
2b) The more I observe Trump, the more he reminds me of Ross Perot and how the Perot campaign was simply structured to split the conservative vote to allow the Clinton crime family to enter the White House. I’m becoming more skeptical of Trumps true agenda when he doesn’t have one other than to promote himself.
3) Ted Cruz, I like your positions the most, but I don’t understand your wife’s associations with groups like Goldman Sachs and the Trilateral Commission. It is contradictory to your Tea Party positions and is indicative of a faux candidacy.
So Brett Baier is a schmuck also. Had me fooled.
I believe Cruz was. Hee still is flapping his jaws.
Trump is in first place. Cruz does not tell Trump what he is going to do.
Simple as that. Trump has events planned all the way to the caucus. He isn’t going to cancel them for Ted.
Then he might have to actually answer questions. Can’t have that cause Cruz will wipe the floor with him.
