Someone needs a Twitter time out.

Donald Trump was still on the offensive in every sense of the word, hours after the GOP debate ended.

First he elbowed his way through the crowded field of Republican presidential hopefuls on stage in Cleveland. Then he lambasted Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly and analyst Frank Luntz, saving his most pointed attacks of the night for the media personalities.

“Wow, @megynkelly really bombed tonight. People are going wild on twitter! Funny to watch,” Trump tweeted.

Minutes later, Trump fired another 140-character assassination.

“I really enjoyed the debate tonight even though the @FoxNews trio, especially @megynkelly, was not very good or professional!” Trump wrote.

As funny as these are, I rather think this is unprofessional. Maybe though, it’s time to take these people out who ruin lives and careers. I dunno.

Maybe so but I have to say i find it rather appealing that someone is quite happy and able to take on some of these people.

I think Trump is doing a good job of defending himself against the gotcha questions. Some people say they were playing devil’s Advocate. But it sure angered everyone. Seemed more like GOP_E games instead of a substantive debate. I found the whole thing unprofessional.

Indeed, it is. But then some of the "polished professionals" are undermining western civilization and the 'merican way. I'll tolerate and sometime applaud an unprofessionally spoken truth.

Some caution should be exercised on Trump's part. Social media tend to make people get carried away emotionally. It creates a feed-back loop of instant response and gratification. Before you know it, you will find yourself making escalating series of extreme and outlandish comments on all fronts, which could lead to self-destruction.

In this instance, I think Trump should have left this alone. The viewers took care of it, and voiced their opinions on their behavior.

Right. He didn’t have to step in.

“Before you know it, you will find yourself making escalating series of extreme and outlandish comments on all fronts, which could lead to self-destruction.”

I don’t think you need to worry here. Trump is a master of the media, and knows better than you do as to when to escalate, and when to step back. Methinks he would ignore your advice and go at it as he knows best.

I’ll take his unprofessional over the unprofessional “journalists” who were moderators and the decades of GOP appeasers whose politeness, non-confrontation, bipartisanship has accomplished nothing but inviting more abuse from the fascist democrat party.

Would you prefer a “professional” politician who can speak softly and carry a limp stick?

Yours was first, but (one post later) www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3321680/posts got more action. Go figure.

No argument there. Fox News this morning is playing up their stooge of the week, Rubio, and trashing Trump. The only bright point is that they played the Luntz survey of one of Cruz’s questions and the response which was very positive, but that was their only real nod to Cruz. Like last night, they ignored Carson.

Trump is now on record saying that FNC and Steffie Kelly are being destroyed by their viewers. FNC and Steffie Kelly cannot ignore it like they would if Trump said nothing.

He is expressing his opinions. It is called ‘Free Speech’.

If you don’t like it, move to China.

For years, George W. Bush stood by while his critics savaged him. George never responded in kind because he felt it was unprofessional and "beneath the presidency."

Perhaps so but look at the end result. Because GWB never defended himself, he allowed his enemies to blame everything that went wrong directly on him and to define him as a nitwit incompetent.

Even to this day, every time something is not going right in Washington, people will reflexively say "Bush's fault." Even we do it ourselves (in a sarcastic way).

Other "play nice" Republicans have suffered the same fate. Including media darling John McCain - whose liberal friends abandoned him when it came between him and Obama.

Remember that the liberals will never stop with their Alinsky tactics, even if you roll over for them. ESPECIALLY if you roll over for them.

Trump is the first GOP presidential candidate to take off the gloves and get down in the mud with these people. The 3AM post debate Tweets? I love it! Nobody has ever fought back like this before on our side. And I get the impression that we haven't seen anything yet.
