Trump is a democrap.
I believe he is in it to split the vote just like Perot did for the rapist.
And the other two need to be perp walked into the electric chair.

That does seem to be the standard for what passes as media reporting these days. I have not watched TV news (with the exception of some local newscasts) since the day after the 2012 election.

Cruz was presidential!

Yup, many of the others seemed angry. Especially Perry.

I do think that if Cruz got the nomination Trump would not run third party. Best thing for the candidates not to do is try to have a name-calling match with Donald Trump. It may only encourage him to run third party against that candidate.

I doubt Trump is ‘afraid’ of anything... especially Kelly.

If anything he just does not want to put up with BS when he avoids it- Kelly had more to gain from a Trump interview than Trump does.

The early debate was good, somewhat easygoing, I expected the late debate to be more in that style, boy was I wrong.

Bill Hemmer and Martha McCallum did the debate host honors for the early debate. Thought they did a good job. More neutral.

Also, I haven’t watched the Hannity post-debate-show in total, but I know Trump and all or most of the others were on his show.

Megan? I didn't tune in to see her, I watched the candidates, their actions and their answers.

It wasn't a debate. It was an effort to destroy Trump. I'm not a fan of Trump, but there was nothing fair and balanced about this event. Most of the other candidates had little time to express themselves because the moderators were too busy trying to beat up Trump.

Fox has been on a mission since at least 2012 to destroy any conservative candidate in favor of the liberal Republican darling. The voter never can make a well informed decision on the candidates. No wonder we end up with losers.

Voters who hate the media love Trump, and is it any wonder why? He’s the only one who has the nerve to face off with them.

What does Trump stand to gain by playing straw man, that he doesn't already have?

I'm solidly behind Cruz, but I'm about sick of the nonsense about Trump. The only funny thing about it is that is consistently blows up in the face of those spewing it.

The truth is, that without Trump on that stage last night, the “debate” would have been a snoozefest, and thus, no ratings.

Faux News was not fair nor balanced last night, but they, like Trump, recognize a good business opportunity when they see one.

If Trump took a hit and I think he did, despite some saying he did well in the debate, I think all Trump needs is another brouhaha to help him and this little incident will fade.

Also, I have never been a Kelly fan or watched her much but if people did not like this, how will Trump do when the left-wing host types are hosting the debate?

That that doesn’t destroy me, makes me stronger.

Megyn Kelly was a bitch last night. There, I said it!

Not sure I totally agree. The questions they threw at him weren’t “what are your plans for....”, “how would you....” Instead the questions were designed to put him on the defensive and not give the opportunity to share ideas, policies, etc.

Carson did a nice job but his questions were pretty soft. Same with Kasich and Huck. Christie just looked like an angry loud-mouth, even more than Trump.

Overall, very disappointing job by Fox. Fair and Balanced my butt

Calm down. Trump would be better than either Uniparty candidate, and last night proves how scared the Left/Right Establishment truly is.

If Trump took a hit last night, the nets would have flash polls out today telling us so.

That they don’t suggests that he didn’t.

When did Trump say any of that? I heard him talk about making donations to candidates, but I also heard him say that’s why our system is broken, which is true.

If Fox wanted to stop Trump from getting headlines, they have miserably failed this morning.
