If this is true, the Trump/Fox feud may have deeper roots.

Anyone who thinks that any of the other Republican candidates really takes the illegal invader problem seriously is deluding themselves.

So the snippet doesn't reveal anything and so I will not know.

And I frankly don't care.

Reminds me of Ross Perot.

Trump didn’t bring up this subject tonight on BOR.

He’s avoiding the REAL complete war. This debate spat is a sideshow and Trump will still go on Fox.

Heidi Cruz is heavily involved in CFR and helped develop the “Building a North American Community” report. I have to question exactly what Ted Cruz actual thoughts on immigration are when CFR wants the US, Mexico and Canada to be unified. Of course that would mean no illegals as it would be essentially one country and we could support them all.

It's worth reflecting IMHO on the multiple levels of wrong embedded in this question. First, Mrs. Kelly knew of course that this was to be America's first look at Trump as a Presidential candidate. The main themes of his campaign have been jobs, immigration, trade and foreign policy. How exactly is his years-old Twitter-feud with Rosie O'Donnell or an even older and entirely obscure comment made during his 14 seasons as host of the Apprentice in any way relevant to those issues?

Second, to get into the weeds of the particular referenced comments, obviously if you're having a particular issue with one woman, that says nothing about what you do or do not think about all women, so the Rosie O'Donnell quote is completely asinine. And the random quote for the Apprentice, when the video from that was played back, there was obviously a whole context there that at the time nobody batted in eyelash about. In other words, maybe it's relevant if it was something that caused a stir at the time, but to drag it up when nobody at the time thought any of it is just so far out of bounds.

But the worst, worst thing about Mrs. Kelly's egregious abuse of her role as a supposedly neutral arbiter is her reference to the entirely and overtly partisan "War on Women" meme. Nobody except extremely partisan Democrats thinks that Republicans are waging on war on women, so to have it brought up and reinforced by a "moderator" of a Republican debate is just the height of duplicity.

It should be obvious to everyone that Kelly is using her current gig as a stepping stone to bigger and better things on network television, and collecting Trump's scalp would be the ultimate calling card for her in that quest. That Fox News is allowing her to crap all over their network is somewhat surprising . . . until you understand the relationship between the GOPe, Chamber of Commerce, etc. and Fox.

Trump would've IMHO been fully within his rights to have declared then and there that he was never going to participate in another debate with Megyn Kelly as the moderator, or even with Fox News as the producer. Given what's transpired between then and now, I think he's just that much more justified in doing so.

Trump wakes up in the morning and pi55es red, white, and blue American nationalism and nationalism scares the hell out of a lot of people. Others welcome it. I welcome it.

I don't think so. Trump is a nationalist, and the One World Totalitarians are doing everything to fight it. Trump needs to up his security and be very careful about political ambushes, this debate being one.

I tried to open link on my phone, but the page never fully opened. Instead several pop-up ads deployed. Wish your snippet was more descriptive. It looks like you bated us for clicks.

The punch line:

While Fox News may love the ratings Trump brings, Hahn believes Murdoch’s views on immigration are influencing how the network covers the race.

They quote Breitbart . . .

Trump has shined a spotlight on one of Washington’s best kept secrets: namely, Fox’s role via its founder Rupert Murdoch in pushing an open borders agenda. The Trump campaign is a direct threat to Murdoch’s efforts to open America’s borders. Well-concealed from virtually all reporting on Fox’s treatment of Trump is the fact that Murdoch is the co-chair of what is arguably one of the most powerful immigration lobbying firms in country, the Partnership for a New American Economy (PNAE).

Also quoting ABC News. . .

Murdoch, Australian born and a naturalized U.S. citizen, has become an outspoken advocate for immigration reform and mass legalization of the country’s undocumented immigrants, partnering with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg [a PNAE backer] in this cause.

What we’re trying to discern is whether the Don takes it seriously, despite his recent statements. But, how much illegal labor went into those palaces he built? That’s a question he better have an answer for.

The comments about Rosie, the crude remark to Brande Roderick, thenasty comment about Carly Fiorina’s looks, and his boasting about how many women, many of them married, he has slept with, are all of a piece and they show a Clintonesque attitude towards women.

His comments about Megyn Kelly after the first debate only reinforced that.
