I’m not really sure what will happen tonight. I truly hope that Donald Trump will keep his word and follow through on his decision to not attend the debate and hold a separate forum in Des Moines, but who knows. For now, C-Span says they will cover it.
Sometimes it’s best to walk away from a bad deal and not look back. It’s another opportunity for Trump to “teach us.†I guess we’ll see. Hopefully we won’t get whipsawed all day long and that the Des Moines rally is on and FR people here will participate.
It seems pretty clear to me that Trump was tipped off about an unformatted ambush with other activist questioners, (who may not even be Americans), with their own agendas. Did they intend to pull a Jorge Ramos on him to disrupt—maybe to get him to walk off the stage or say something regrettable?
Whose idea was it in the first place to have these people ask questions? This is the kind of maneuver we’d expect from a more left wing station, not Fox, but we’ve sure learned something this past year, haven’t we about this network, and the people we’ve allowed in our homes day in and day out?
And who wrote that chicken bleep press release that mocked Trump with references to our enemies? Was it Ailes himself? I sense the good people like Jeanine Pirro and Brett Bair are pretty embarrassed this morning. They should all be.
The Fox network intent, as I see it, is more ominous and thinly cloaked and perhaps about other things. Megyn Kelly’s objective was to make her the center of attention over the candidates and her colleagues, but already Rupert Murdoch voices his desire to have Michael Bloomberg enter the race, and we’re hearing of some backdoor dealings of his, and Fox, that favors illegal immigration. I guess we will see what is fact and what is fiction eventually.
Make no mistake, immigration, legal and illegal over the past 25 years, has altered the cultural and political trajectory of our country. Who can say if this is good or bad? It really depends on who you are. I worry that ultimately it will affect our freedoms.
Ted Kennedy and other passive politicians from both sides, and presidents have got the politics wrong about immigration. It used to be that immigrants coming here from wherever, and their offspring proudly said they were “Americans†first. Now, I’m not so sure.
Was that the political intent? To ultimately change the complexion of our nation and endanger our freedoms by pitting us against one another, and to have people coming here not to assimilate with us, but to defy us?
This will all pass, just like it did in 1980 when Ronald Reagan chose not to debate George Bush before the Iowa caucus, and maybe, before it does, it will turn the Iowa caucus on its ear with a surprise winner. I think all of us have seen through the rallies that Iowans are a special brand of people.
Those Iowans, that “usually get out and voteâ€, are a microcosm of the people we used to be, before John Kennedy was killed. They usually vote in the end for “the person who appears to have the best heart.†I think it’s Trump, they might think it’s Carson. I only hope that they do not take his refusal to debate as a personal affront to them.
All of our candidates are true patriots. Any one of them could lead our country better than the people who have led us these past eight, maybe 24 years. Whomever wins the nomination should have our support.
I pray that God gives each of these people the wisdom to do what is best for the people of our country. Can Fox say that the organization and spirit of their debate had that same intent? I truly doubt it.
I’m watching cspan, they have “democrats” on there and they are so for Trump! Talking about how he brought tears to their eyes, talking about how this rally made them feel so good (said the guy who voted straight ticket democrat).
Yes, Trump won tonight, the vets won tonight. America wins tonight.
Does anyone having a mailing address for check donations?
Walding.
Me too! LOL
It is better to be a Trump “Trumpet” than one of Teds “Unstables”
More good news! How great can one night get?!
Carson should have done the Trump thing tonight. He would have gotten a lot more attention.
I like Dr. Carson so much, he will hopefully have a place in the Trump administration.
Trump is in Nashua,NH tomorrow morning at 10:00 am.
Then three events in Iowa on Saturday, two in Iowa on Sundsy and two on Monday in Iowa. Caucus Day is Monday.

That would be great
Cruz is unraveling. Doesn’t he realize he is hurting himself?
It was Adele.
A wonderful, wonderful rally. I was near tears several times. His donation site shows $430,000 but that doesn’t include I don’t believe some of the big donors. He said over $6million at the rally.
I know. Cruz was my #1 in April, but I think-—even though he really doesn’t have a lot of friends-—that he’s “too nice” and just can’t go for the jugular like Trump.
Just give me the Cliff's Notes bullet points, please.
IT ain’t over yet - Obola can still wreak much destruction between now and January 2017. Much prayer and fasting is needed.
You click one of the buttons. Then click VOTE. Then you’ll see the results.
Surgeon General.
Tonight, Trump proved that he’s the better man.
Yep, great words by our Veterans. Real people.
