Sorry, SF101. I’m just enjoying watching the media *finally* getting the shaft too much for your barbs to bother me. :)

At this point, even if Trump looses, I win. The GOPe has been ripped to shreds and now the precious 4th Estate is being exposed for the biased bastards that they really are.

What a great freaking day.

More Trump disinformation... Cruz has said a flat tax and abolishing the IRS for years.

When you’ve hitched your wagon to a Trojan horse candidate, you can only make up a bunch of birther nonsense to distract from the issues. So maybe if you repeat that lie enough for him, maybe Trump will give you a cookie.

Sadly the other choice, Cruz has NO CHANCE at all to win either, even if he has better qualities. The Dems have done a great job damaging this country.

Still, the obvious: for years Rush Limbaugh and others have suggested Republicans NOT do biased debates. Now, the first time someone does it, we get the whiny birds out.

Excellent point, LS.

“I think you have your message mixed up. It is Cruz who stutters and stammers and lies. Not Donald.”

Also his head goes rigid, while his rectangular mouth squirms around, testing the wind I guess. It is like watching an old Clutch Cargo cartoon. It is always a relief when his eyebrows shoot up like signal flares and one realizes it is not animation.

True. A debate would be like the Lincoln-Douglas debates that went on -one on one for hours. Role of the press? To write down exactly what was said for people to READ. READ- not watch and edited moronic clip on TV between beer sips.

"Its not a debate, its an inquisition."

When Trump goes around publicly saying things like "As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It works incredibly well in Scotland.---(Trump, August 6, 2015)", and claim to be a conservative, maybe some intense skepticism is in order, in fact maybe some hostile-sounding questions are in order, maybe some actual answers from Donald are in order.

Donald has espoused way too many liberal positions for me to take him seriously. The Counter is "so did Reagan," but Reagan moved to conservative positions relatively early in life, was a conservative for 30 years before becoming President. When Trump was in his 60's he was still a liberal looney, trying to get Hillary and Harry Reid elected and re-elected.

Yes, I know "I got Hillary to come to my wedding," what kind of a brainless cheap answer is that? Why do you guys defend it? What did he get from Harry Reid? ---Other than blocking the House bills on killing Obamacare?

I do not trust him. At all. Trump isn't "beholden to" big donors? Big deal, he isn't beholden to you either, or the voters, he'll do whatever he feels like, if it's liberal, too bad for you. But hey, he got you to come to his "Wedding." And obviously, you'll be happy with that.

Champagne for everyone.

You’re taking it out on your fellow FReepers. Not everyone has the same opinion in this world but the hateful comments are out of character for you. Again, very disappointed.

Why trash Trump when you should be celebrating Cruz will get
center stage? You should be joyful.
Cruz gets to show how smart he is when Faux News
attacks him, all the candidates attack him and Frank Luntz
focus group attacks him.
Celebrate your victory!

“Cruz will eat him alive.”

I am definitely not a Rubio supporter, but he was the one who ate Cruz alive last time.

Kelly had nothing to do with it. As of yesterday he said he would attend. Fox sent out a press release today making fun of him. Good for him for not going. Let Fox ratings tank. Fox probably orchestrated the BS hit piece from the Susan B. Anthony List. Rupert Murdoch probably gave them a couple million dollars.

“I used to think she looked pretty good but she’s gone through an attitude adjustment that’s visible to viewers and is personally annoying.”

It’s called ‘jaded’. And it shows.

Finally a Man grows a spine, and some people on FR get the vapors and reach for the smelling salts.

Thanks. I started to list a separate type of operation for Rupert, but I decided a hysterectomy worked for both of them.
