To recap: Megyn Kelly, derided by Trump as a vapid Trump-basher, along with Jeb Bush and Rand Paul, derided by Trump as pathetic losers, led the attacks on Trump's leading competitors. And in the process, they helped remind Republican primary voters worried about immigration that Bush, Paul, Rubio and Cruz have all supported versions of "amnesty." Of course, Trump was conveniently absent, so he didn't have to field any tough questions about his own inconsistencies on immigration or other issues, from Kelly or anyone else.

Oh wow, now everyone is hating on Kelly!
Another Epic Fail brought to you by Fox News.
Leave Bloody Kelly alone. She has a new hair style.
Not that I would suggest that they are pulling a page from WWE-wrestling, but it does seem like that Fox and Kelly pretty much finished off any real competition to Trump. Intentional or accidental? Hard to say. In the WWE world....after the guy has reached the top...he’d reward those who helped in the effort...so would Kelly get a job under the Trump administration?
She got her more grown up journalistic hairdew, so no one may now cross the face of FOX news.
Her looks are going too. She’ll be doing the morning traffic report in Toledo within five years.
She looked like a space alien..
“Cruz once filed an amendment to Rubio’s bill that would have created a path to “legalization,” but he has argued that it was really a poison pill designed to kill reform. Last night, though, Kelly effectively quashed that argument, playing several clips of Cruz insisting that he did want reform to pass. “Was that all an act?” Kelly asked him. “It was pretty convincing!”
After Cruz flailed around for a few minutes, arguing that it was unfair for Kelly to focus on 38 words in a 1000-page bill, Kelly turned to Rand Paul, yet another frequent target of Trump’s barbs. “Senator Paul, you know how Washington works,” she said. “Do you buy that?””
Ouch!
TTTT
This was a HUGE SCREWUP for her and Fox.
She was SUPPOSED TO take down both Trump and Cruz in this debate, but then Trump walked.
Rather than being easy on Cruz, so as to assure he remains viable (as no one else has a prayer against Trump), she may have just taken out Cruz.
So now Trump wins, and WINS BIG. Bloody Megan will pay, BIG TIME, for this, unless she can shove the blame off to others.
I do not like that Cruz says after the fact it was poison pill. I watch those hearings believing they mean what they say. If this is common behavior, how do we know when they are not? Can he pull on his ear, or wink? Give us a sign.
Or polishing a pole in Muncie, IN with the new stage name: `Treasure Chest’. :0)
Kelly in a Trump administration would really be a good shoe shine girl.
“After Cruz flailed around”
Cruz didn’t ‘flail’ ...
good one.
Um, no. Megan and Fox did what Megan and Fox were going to do anyway, Trump was just smart enough to refuse to stand in the line of fire.
Cruz supporters loved Megyn when she tried to take out Trump
in the first debate.
I’m guessing a lot of Cruz supporters are not feeling the love for Megyn
this morning.
I wonder if Cruz and Rubio are kinda wishing now that they had gone to the Trump event instead.
