Iâm 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 itâs best to walk away from a bad deal and not look back. Itâs another opportunity for Trump to âteach us.â I guess weâll see. Hopefully we wonât 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 disruptâmaybe 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 weâd expect from a more left wing station, not Fox, but weâve sure learned something this past year, havenât we about this network, and the people weâve 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 Kellyâs 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 weâre 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 âAmericansâ first. Now, Iâm 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 âusually 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 âthe person who appears to have the best heart.â I think itâs Trump, they might think itâs 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.
The most angry I can remember being at any journalist (besides MK at the last debate) was Brit Hume was when he interviewed Sarah Palin early on. He was so condescending - just odious! Looked down his nose.
These people are supposed to REPORT the stories, not BE the stories.

In case you don't know...Dudley was a satire on the old radio and the early T.V . show: SGT. PRESTON OF THE YUKON. :-)
A Muslim man with two handguns, a knife, ammo and a Koran, was arrested at the Disneyland New York Hotel in Paris today. Where have I heard that name Koran? Koran? Koran? Koran? Koran? For some vague reason it sounds so familiar.
As I predicted Teddy got to see what its like to get the heat. Usually Trump acts as a shield. Trump was smart to skip the ambush.
You would think that, after1 5 centuries of their treacherous barbaric behavior, we would open up a can of nuclear whoop-ass on these freaks and end their existence on this planet. Name one thing that Muslims have done for humanity, other than to spread war, death desolation, slavery and misery?
Murdock Macied himself, Faux, MGYN by trying to trap Trump in the debate!
Montel Williams âI would rather slit my throat while@getting run over by a train than watch trump hold his little KKK rally â
Apparently they did at the end of the Faux Farce posing as a debate. I did not watch.
I totally agree. These forty something’s think they can do a couple of years in the senate and they are ready to be the leader of the free world. I want a mature adult in the Whitehouse. That would be Trump.
For years the only TV station that gave GOP a voice was FOX.
However, both the GOPe and FOX news have changed—for the worse :(
I totally agree. Instead of a total negative, people got something positive for a change.
The media is such a depressing entity.
We are on the same page. We could be Diamond and Silk. LOL
Anybody got a dull rusty razor handy? we have a libtard in need of a very close shave ...
