Well Rush just got the new PPP poll for Iowa and Trump is still leading at 19%. Love it.

Trump was on every other Sunday show except Fox’s. I imagine he intended to keep it that way. Maybe that made Roger think this whole thing over.

Oh, really? Tell me more. I didn't know that about the ads. Boy, wouldn't it be fun to cut her down to size...

We could voice our concerns to the advertisers on the Bimbo File.

“Make her sitout until Dec, 2016.”

`FOX News Co. owner contacts Trump, apologizes for his loutish employees.’

Maybe Meghen, Brett and Chris could watch TV this fall with Tom Brady and his small, girlish hands?

Personally I think its just as likely that FOX and Trump are in on the scam as it is that there is a fight between them.

interesting take. Shades of Andy Kaufman ?

The only way to cut Megyn Kelly (or is it Kelly Megyn?) down to size is not to watch her show tonight.

Trump doesn’t answer with any specifics - because he doesn’t have any.

He STILL can’t answer how he’d make the Mexican government pay for the wall - which they won’t and he couldn’t make them.

Trump talks in generalities and mixes in some of the same childish insults over and over. The bit he goes on about now to prove he likes Mexicans is also idiotic. He says the Mexican government is really smart over and over and that is how they take advantage of us. No Donald, the Mexican government is most certainly NOT really smart. It’s been a socialist craphole for near 100 years. The Mexican economy is crap, and the voters there do not get any wiser as time passes.

Trump has no answers. And while Kelly’s question about the war on women was kinda dumb, Trump was going to get that eventually - so why not answer it now? As to the pledge to not go independent, that is a question asked of him from almost everyone left to right - so nothing wrong with it. The rest of the questions were tough but fair. All this Trumpster poutrage has been a pathetic sight to see.

Please explain to me his plan to make Mexico pay for the wall. The specifics please. And how would he get such a plan through Congress? Please explain to me his plan to build all these "terrific" vet hospitals? What is his proposal in terms of how to fund them, what to cut, etc? Does he still favor taking Iraq's oil? How would he go about doing that? Trump says he is going to win the Hispanic and Black vote, please explain to me Trump's realistic plan to do that? Show me one poll of general election voters (not Republican primary voters) that demonstrate he could win those demographics in an election. How does Trump propose renegotiating trade treaties we are already party too? How, specifically, does he believe he will be able to get China, Mexico, the US Congress to go along.

My guy is Cruz but trumpsters don't give a fat rats ass about specific plans and when I root for the donald, neither do I. Screw specific bullshit plans that never get done by any politician.

We have heard plans, specific plans, detailed specific plans, minutia detailed specific plans, from 1933 and going forward, and not a single one has happened as planned.

I'll give you a SPECIFIC enema plan on how to avoid future constipation of your feeble planning brain. Use a S&W 357.

The Fall of FOX News - The Rise of TRUMP

Fox News painted themselves into a corner where in trying to destroy Trump, they destroy themselves. Every shot they fire at him, shakes their house of cards worse than the damage they cause to Trump.

Roger Ailes just called. He is a great guy & assures me that “Trump” will be treated fairly on @FoxNews. His word is always good!

FOX (FAUX) news blinked and Trump is letting us know they blinked first.

Good move by Trump again.

Absolutely! But I didn’t know the effects would be felt that quickly.

The debate was expected to be that forum where he was go8ng to answer questions on his policies and vision for the future. Instead, he was forced answering questions about bankruptcies, his vernacular, and evolution of his political party affiliation.

Hey, Jedi, your boy does not stand a chance unless Trump plows new furrows and bulldozes the leftist intentions of GOPe and the lamestream, and that includes Faux News.

I too like Cruz, and I want change. Trump can make that happen. And no, he is not getting ‘special attention’ from Roger Ailes. Roger can’t afford to feel the heat when Faux News ratings start to slump. And he of all people there must know that their 24 million viewer super night had everything to do with Trump being on that stage.

Like it or not, Trump wins. And so do the other conservatives, especially Ted Cruz.

I’ve never been a conspiracy theorist, but I do try to use my head for more than a hat rack. Consider this:

Why would Fox invite Debbie Blabbermouth-Shultz on to do postgame analysis? Was it to inform viewers? Of course not. It could only have been to try to get a Dem primary debate. DBS came on, took her utterly predictable ‘War on Womyn’ shot (which Me-GYN’s questioning teed up nicely), then a day or two later, the Dems announced their debate schedule - no Fox news. Fox got punked.

I doubt Ailes had anything to do with the strategy - the “moderators” did it to please the boss and for self-promotion. The latter wanted the praise of their industry colleagues.

Fox News arose as an alternative to the entire LSM. That’s called identifying an underserved market and going after it. The righteous anger erupting from Fox’s audience is because that business model was abandoned - all to try to get a Dem primary debate.

Sorry your argument was so bad you needed to resort to a personal attack. Since the conversation has devolved to this I’m gone. Bye

Faux News must be taking a serious hit aka backlash for what they did during the debates.

I like Trump because he is shaking up the establishment GOP socialist party.
