**FOX News invited a radical Muslim activist, a Bernie Sanders supporter, a Black Lives Matter supporter and a Mexican illegal immigrant to the debate to confront Donald Trump.**

As soon as I read this list of ‘invited guests’ earlier today, the very first thing I thought was, “GOPe at work”.

Has the country actually stooped to this? If the answer is, “Yes,” then it is too late for anyone to do anything. I am disappointedly happy that I am too old and will probably die so that I won’t see the total, final destruction of this once, great nation.

I have said this before but I shall say it again: Washington, D.C. needs to be burned to the ground with all of the politicians in their offices. Anything less and the country is, in fact, doomed.

C’mon Fox is doing this just for the ratings. We all know how popular illegal aliens and muslims are with the American people. /s

Fox is just taking the baton from the marxist muslim uniparty that has been terrorizing the American people for the last 8 years and helping them to complete the transformation of America.

Isn't it also strange that there is utter SILENCE to the fact that Cruz and Rubio are not eligible for Potus. It's suspect whether either of them are eligible for the Senate.

People are sick of this.

"FOX News invited a radical Muslim activist, a Bernie Sanders supporter, a Black Lives Matter supporter and a Mexican illegal immigrant to the debate to confront Donald Trump."

There's no doubt whatsoever that Fox set a kill trap for Trump in this debate. Megyn Kelly even alluded to it when she tweeted yesterday that, "On Friday morning the American people are going to wake up to a whole different race."

I think Trump smelled a rat when he first learned that Megyn would be moderating again. From that one fact alone, I'll bet he (correctly) inferred that, this time, she'd pull something much more extreme than she did the last time. The woman either has it in for Trump, or she's taking orders from the very top.

With a line-up of guest questioners like that, can there be any doubt?

Trump didn't get where he is by not being a very shrewd judge of personalities and high stakes situations. He read this thing correctly, and chose not to walk into an ambush. And by walking away (as he cautions to do, when faced with a bad deal) he now owns the narrative and the spotlight.

As Rush said today, Trump is operating so far outside the established protocols of American politics, that he's leaving his opponents, their advisors, and the media in a state of total confusion. They can't think ahead of him because they're all trapped in a paradigm that has stultified their ability to properly analyze and strategize in a fluid battle like this.

Say what you will about the man, but his instincts with such things are second to none.

Trump’s intelligence let him know it was going to be another skunk-wrassling contest (like last time or worse) despite Fox’s promises that they would hold the football the tme ... so the Big Combover said,
“You guys can get skunked without my help.”
Good for him. To he!! with Fox and the rest of the Uniparty’s Ministry of Truth.

More political dirty tricks by Fox. Same as MeGyn’s first question in the first debate. Ailes’ tweet about Trump. The debate moderators meeting to plan ambush questions and actually planning, if they were successful, to have Trump walked off the stage. MeGyn’s gift of uninterrupted 19 minutes to Glenn Beck to excoriate Trump. Beck’s phony tweet. And then there are Cruz’s lies (like, “My family doesn’t have health insurance” when he did, iow he lied to pander to his audience.) Beck’s pointed accusation at Rand Paul about collaborating with McConnell, when Cruz did the exact same thing on the same bill, but he didn’t mention Cruz. Cruz’s role in getting Tea Party candidate for senator in Mississippi defeated in primary against ancient RINO Thad Cochran by more dirty tricks. And on and on.

Now, they’ll just have to ambush everyone else.

All other issues aside. If a muslim activist and the rest of this hit parade is a known quantity then neither Trump nor Cruz should go.

There’s nothing in it for either of them. And it’s pointless to stick your head in a virtual meat grinder. This isn’t “debate” it’s pure ambush.

There doesn’t need to be questions from “activists.” The moderator should be wallpaper. Monotone, neutral and a nobody. Nothing more than an informative referee to note time. There to be ultimately respectful of all the candidates that are there to talk to the ones watching. That’s it.

I’m told that Fox also invited an expert on citizenship issues to ambush Cruz and Rubio, an expert on amnesty to ambush Jeb, an expert on youthful crime to ambush Carson, an expert on traffic management to ambush Christie, and an expert on drug abuse to ambush Paul.

No, wait...

two points:

How do you even prove something like that?

And if folks like Hannity, Rush and other rich conservatives don’t like the direction that Fox is headed, then buy their stock and vote them out. Or better yet, start their own channel. I’d subscribe.

They were (maybe still are) planning to use GEORGE WILL, perhaps the biggest Trump Hater in the GOPe, to be a ‘Real Time Truth Squad’ for the debate.

That right there NEEDS TO STOP. If candidate says something wrong in a debate, TOUGH, tell the public LATER, after the debate is over...DO NOT INSERT YOURSELF as they have no chance to rebut being called a liar by a non-player.

For me, Trump should have walked on that ALONE...but thank you Fox for making it easy for him.

Let’s not forget these circumstances, this stunt by Trump that is being hailed as genius ...is it really all that different than this event?

President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of a stormy debt-limit meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday, a dramatic setback to the already shaky negotiations.

“He shoved back and said ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’ and walked out,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told reporters in the Capitol after the meeting

Who wants to watch a debate with Jeb, Paul, Christie and Kasich? Sheesh, add their support together and it’s less than the top 3-4.

These debates have become entertainment and money for the networks - people get their news elsewhere and the media is having a hissy fit as their power dwindles.

Only an idiot would know of this liberal attack plot and still attend this “debate”.

Those that denounce Trump for having the respect for himself and America to not attend this liberal attack event are spineless idiots.
