Hmmmm.

Wikipedia does not mention that her first husband cheated on her.

Of course they came across well.

None of them were fileted and gutted time after time after time with personal slander, insults and low brow gotcha questions by a crew of three paid assassins.

Trump might have shined too with a fair chance.

Bizarrely, his expression, to me anyway, looks as if someone has a gun in his ribs.

[can you see where her hands are?]

I agree....he’s not my guy either but I have been asking myself if I could vote for him, assuming he got the nomination, and I have not yet got a answer back...

One issue I have, is that Trump is the antithesis of Obama, which is why he is getting so much attention in my humble opinion.

I don’t think that overcorrecting in the other direction will do the country much good, but I pretty much wrote it off in 2012..

My safe house awaits me in Alabama..

Therefore he should have been better prepared to respond to that question with a degree of dignity, he didn't..

Give me a break. This was ambush journalism. They didn't ask Trump a question. They tried to embarrass him with the childish raise your hand crap. They could have asked that all those who pledge to support the nominee raise your hand. Instead it was raise your hand if you won't make that pledge. The intent was to make Trump even more obvious. I commend Trump for being honest. He could have kept his hand down. I wonder if there would have been a follow-up to Trump if he did not raise his hand.

Very unprofessional and it will backfire. The public likes Trump because he appears authentic and not a politician. This childish stunt will cement Trump's support and add more people who like the underdog.

He did shine. He stood like a man. Voters have not seen that sort of pushback since Reagan. And if he only presents marginal policy plans but stands like Lancelot at the gates of hell, he will landslide the election at Reagan’s numbers.

And I say that being no fan. But what comes after that? There lies the real issue. But no one will care. They WANT the white knight and the violence spectacle. And in that regard, I can relate.

How do you answer personal attacks specifically? Perhaps if the so called fair and balanced news network actually asked questions about his position on topics you would have heard specifics.

I’m hoping Steve King does his debates again. He gave candidates time to answer and explain their answers. You really got to hear specifics then.

This debate was not constructed to get specifics from anyone. It was constructed to set up this scenario - Trump not presidential, Trump too antagonistic and mean spirited, Trump not serious, Trump will lose. The actual event report should be moderators not professional, moderators too antagonistic and mean spirited, moderators are liberal shills, a more balanced and informative system of debate is needed.

From now until they do something else to raise Trump’s poll numbers, you will hear them say, how badly Trump blew it. Their talking head shills will be on all the shows and their minions will flood FR and anywhere else conservatives discuss politics trying to direct opinion to become anti Trump.

They just can’t stand seeing anyone running as a conservative in the lead. They will do anything, including sabotaging their own candidates, to make sure no conservative gets anywhere. They all hate and fear us. They’re just too obvious about it now.

Cruz was infinitely better than Trump so what does that say about Drudge’s poll?

It says that you saw the debate through a very different lens than the vast majority of those watching tonight.

I don't disagree with your analysis, but The People are hungering for something that no one but Trump is delivering right now. That's why he's winning.

Jesus would have nothing to do with this, you are so wrong. Jesus would be lying if he took part in such a ceremony, it is IMPOSSIBLE for God/Christ to lie

Jesus loves sinners. Sin is sin, whether gay or straight, it is "missing the mark". When confronted with that woman at the well, He did not condemn, did He?

I am happy with my relationship with God, my FRiend. I understand the Gospel. It is Good News, and Paul explains it in his writings! Jesus did not come to condemn the world. Sin is in the world, and Scripture does not make any sin greater except blasphemy. There is no 1st degree, 2nd degree, etc. Sin is sin. I would bet a million that you are a sinner, even when you wish to be above reproach!

Do I agree with gay marriage? No. Do I condemn the gay lifestyle? Yes. Do I love the sinners? Yes, but it is not my love but the love of God within me. We are all sinners in need of redemption. We do not change our nature when we become saved, into anything but saved. We are still sinners. The moment we accept Christ as Savior, is the moment we receive His Holy Spirit, and the transformation BEGINS! It onIy ends at our physical death, but we are already new beings, thanks be to God.

YMMV!

Romans 7: ...7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.

13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

I think somebody mentioned putting a flaming bag of dog doo on her porch, so it's gone beyond implicit. Or maybe it was a bag of flaming toupee.

Any other polls besides drudge?

Probably, but I'm only just now about to leave the thread so I can find out what folks are saying around the web.

Bush now 9th in the Drudge Debate Poll at 3%. And he's going to be the nominee? Time to storm the Republican National Convention if they keep pushing Jeb.

Trump First at 39% and Cruz second at 16%.

You fight with the Donald and he'll make you pay. . . very dumb move FOX and MK. The plan to pump up Jeb by overtly attacking Trump failed miserably. We now have no TV media except The Blaze and Newsmax TV. . and of course Talk Radio and Free Republic!

Truth. . Education is the Key! Fight On!

One of the thousands of pissed off posts on her page:

“It’s funny how Fox is trying to spin this that women are going to hate Trump for his comments to Megyn when all of the women commenting here are against her for her question!”
