Trump could have upped his game and really handled those without getting testy...this was not the time nor place to do so

That was my position going with the debate, but in my wildest imagination I never expected Fox to stage this debate as a series of 30 second cage fights between the candidates.

Nobody was given an opportunity to plainly state their positions and then let the other candidates question those positions. The Fox moderators twisted other candidates' statements and then asked the candidate to state what was wrong with it. Not even what they might have agreed with.

It was set up to make EVERYONE look bad.

...”It was set up to make EVERYONE look bad”...

Well I’ll go so far as saying it was set up to make the “Winners” look bad..... actually Fox made it easy for those ‘not’ at the head of the game....gave them an abundance of time, more than necessary.

Christy should bow out...on the other hand Christy’s hair Trumped the Trumps hair....LOL...gad he looked bad.

I totally agree with your first two paragraphs, but I think it was set-up to specifically ambush Trump & Cruz.

Yes, Kelly, Wallace and Baier went after all ten, but in drastically different “tones” and in a lesser accusatory manner.

Kind of like a US Open golf course set up to keep hackers from breaking par?
