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.

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.
a rhetorical question, I’m sure...but just exactly how did she take out Cruz...or anybody else, for that matter...?
Fire Chris Wallace and Bill O’Blowhard also.
I thought it looked like Madcow, just a tad longer.
By trying to destroy the secondary target, she elevated the standing of the primary target.
Trump's rise in the polls began with his stance on illegals flooding into the country and his insistence on building a wall to keep them out.
Kelly with her amnesty attacks on Cruz, underscored how important an issue securing our borders has become.
Dummy must be kicking herself. They laid a trap for Trump. He refused to fall for the trap and laid a trap for them. They fell for that trap.
Cruz takes a tumble and Trump polling goes higher.
Trump should send Thank You notes to Ailes, Kelly, Baier, Wallace and FNC.
When Trump announced he would not be in the debate, I called it Pure Genius on his part.
Wow! Was I right.
I thought of the star wars cantina scene when I saw her. She’d be a perfect humanish but non-human extra in it.
the evil, hateful, ego-maniac, Ms. Kelly...
gee, hyperventilate much...?
this thread is a riot...
By the time election over, hair may look like Grace Jones.
That’s what happens when you are smarter than the rest of the crowd. You know when to side step an ambush. Trump got wind of it and said No Way!
EVERY ONE at Fox wants some of that. Plus, they’re all afraid of getting on the wrong side Ailes’ and Murdoch’s little girl. It’s sickening to watch grown men fawn over her.
I disagree.
Uhh. Duh. Columbus works at Politico.
“That is what a journalist does”
What is that? Asks a question ?(you call it a hard question, whatever)
Asks a question THEN does the research on the matter? In a matter of minutes between debate and interview Kelly revealed and that was her “story”
That’s a good journalist?
That’s hilarious!
Megyn is trying way too hard to downplay the sexpot image she so enjoyed using for years.
Not working. She’s not comfortable in her own skin and it shows.
Yes you were!
Do you not think that Trump supporters would have been feeling the same if Megyn had tried to take out Cruz from the beginning?
Up until recently, many FReepers loved Megyn whenever she tried to take out any RINO or behaved like a true journalist or reporter...now that FR is a house divided, so are her previous fans.
Mountain - molehill.
DD, SS on FR.
I know I will never trust anything from FOX again.
I thought it looked like Madcow, just a tad longer.
How’d you like to be her husband, when she walks in the door with a chop job like that...?
