Trump should rise or fall based on his political positions. Let the GOP voters decide. He should not be forced out by drama queens who fake a scandal to force him out.

I agree. Didn’t Kelly and FOX realize how ridiculous they looked and would only lose credibility?

I would agree.....

Political nature will take it’s course..it’s never fair though...It’s a verbal and image contact sport.

It might help you to get your head around this if you do a internet search and find the FOX news clips from the 2012 debate that they hosted in Florida.

There were some 7-8 candidates including Romney, and she pretty much did exactly the same things with the same tone.

So far I am liking Trump but if Trump stumbles I will go on to who I think is the next best candidate. That is what you have to do and if your favorite candidate does not win then you have to go on to your next best favorite.

onona: “Has it ever been more clear how out-of-control the puppet masters are?”

oughtsix: “Never clearer. You make an excellent and outstanding point.”

Ditto x2. Trump hasn’t broken the law. The sole basis for the current wholesale leftwing/media attack is his refusal to abide by PC groupthink’s behavioral guidelines. A high-profile person drawing attention to this vile concept - one that damages and destroys people, businesses, and this country - is enormously important.

I admire Trump for his incredible skill; but I don’t think I would vote for him.

It is odd. I dislike Trump, but the panty-waisted pansies of the GOP are trying to drive me to his camp! I think Cruz is the only one who hasn’t jumped on the “What a Big Meanie!” bandwagon.

If my own GOP Senator, the beloved Media idol McCain, hadn’t repeatedly called ME names, maybe I’d feel some sympathy for Kelly. But Trump has been far gentler with her than my own Senator from Arizona has been to me - yet TRUMP has to apologize?

“RedState’s outgoing editor-in-chief, Erick Erickson, made an 11th hour call to disinvite Trump...”


Did he ‘unfriend’ him on facebook too?

Yes, I am the one who asked if it has ever been more clear how out of control the puppetmasters are.

I'm assuming I'm getting no disagreement on that. <^..^>
