Would you really let a mother die rather than have an abortion?”

If she aborted, then she wouldn't be a mother.... Unless you consider that what is in her womb is a baby.

I’m sure the FOX talking heads just spew whatever they’re told to say. Sucks to be them.

I just wonder how often these days a doctor has to tell a mother it’s either her or the baby. I imagine it’s used as a justification for pro-killing far more than the actual circumstances warrant.

I wonder who is the head of the strategies at Fox and sets their opinions or policies at Fox.

Somebody needs to call out the MSM on the mother’s life and abortion issue. Do you know how rare that is? It’s practically a non-issue. It shouldn’t be focused on, politically, at all. The MSM and pro-aborts keep bringing it up like it happens all the time.

Most of the conservative women who watch fox news, do not need MegYn Kelly to stick up for “Gyrl Power”.
Her lame “mad as a hornet” look was embarrassing.

It was worth the price of admission to see Trump put the adversarial and divisive Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace in their places. Loved it. That’s why I liked to watch Newt Gingrich four years ago, becasue he wasn’t impressed with these self-important commentators and called them out when they asked him stupid questions.

The first thought I had, when I heard Trump was running - not about his winning or losing, just, “At least the debates will be interesting with him in there.”

As far as the obvious need to change the format (it’s not even close to a debate - more like Q&A session), an actual panel discussion wouldn’t be a bad format - this thing went for three hours, enough time to cover at least some of the important issues.

Some suggestions on a format change for the Republican candidates...

1) Neutral moderators who stay in the background

2) Rather than narrow, often meaningless and stupid questions, that are given to only certain candidates (what a stupid format - can’t compare that way with the “moderators” picking for their own purposes who answers which issue), instead revolve the discussion around four or five generally-agreed top issues of the day: a) big government b) the economy c) illegal immigration d) foreign policy e) national security

3) An open discussion of each issue, one issue at a time for a certain time period. Maybe each with brief opening statements on the issue, then opening it up to any and all to participate. This would of course also allow for meaningful open discussion and debate allowing the audience to actually compare and contrast the candidates, instead of these stupid 30-second sound bytes.

You may have to have some sessions that will mirror the 2016 General Election debate format to see how Republican candidates would do against Hillary or whoever the Socialist Democratic Party candidate is.

Rush said others were asked by major contributor to go after Trump. Their obvious use of women make this even more significant In the early segment (so he couldn’t get his 30.second response) Carly attacked Trump 6
She is funded by the company that Trump recently had conflict with and dropped him.
Her comment was regarding trumps relationship (phone call) donating money to Clinton’s

It seems she too has quite a history with foundation. Is she also receiving money from them. FOX sec her up with extra time etc and sure enough she soared. Trump would be petty to respond to this “sweet” deceptive female.

There is only one party inside the beltway. The Republican elites are not much better than the Democrats. They are mostly socially liberal and big proponents of crony capitalism/corporate welfare.

Not at all a Trump fan or supporter, but even I was taken aback by the attacky nature of some of the Trump questions. And the War on Women crap is just garbage; Kelly and the Fix team know better than that (or should).

I had no real problem with the questions (watched until about 10:15).

A conservative circle-jerk may have provided some loud “here - here”s but would not have been particularly useful in distinguishing candidates.

E.g., asking each candidate “are you pro choice? yes or no” would’ve been pretty useless.

Compared to what repubs get from other media hounds, I thought it was reasonable.

Here's the thing that Rush and most of his listeners don't quite get:

If they think the questions they faced last night were "unfair" or "leading" or "insinuating" specifically to a "war on women" ....... they haven't seen anything yet.

What Donald Trump and every other candidate on that stage got last night was just a tiny preview of what the eventual nominee will face going into the 2016 Presidential Elections.

ANYONE on that stage that couldn't handle the little bit of heat they got last night should drop out of the race today.

The liberal lamestream media is going to be MERCILESS in trying to bring the Republican Candidate down. Bank on that.

Rush apparently saw the same faux "debate" that I did. The Fox employees did not know when to shut up. Here is my previously posted assessment:

I will state my impressions, and then make tactical suggestions.

From a debate standpoint, there was virtually no debate. The Fox crew were on some sort of mission, if not an outright ego trip. They hogged much of the airtime, by directing often long queries against carefully isolated two-somes; obviously with greater hostility towards some candidates than others.

From the standpoint of oratorical techniques--I am a lifelong student of oratorical techniques--Rubio & Huckabee used their time rather well; so to a slightly lesser degree did Cruz & Carson. But none of the candidates had sufficient opportunity to show their rhetorical abilities, because of the ego or mission trip of the "moderators."

Also, for reasons of the same constraints, none of the candidates had much of an opportunity to develop any points with meaningful clarity--None!

Now, my personal bias from the start was in favor of Cruz and Trump, so I certainly appreciate Donald's ire at the way he was handled. But he needs to master two arts, which have served successful candidates throughout American history.

He needs to know when to use ire as an effective weapon & when to hold back an open display and effectively understate his displeasure with the choice of words that show he also has grace. (This can often be a very effective way to actually transfer the ire that you feel to a listener or supporter, who will feel the anger that you are suppressing by the understatement. Hollywood uses this concept endlessly to create emotional impact in movie dramas.)

Secondly, Donald needs to get a bit of Celtic lilt into his remarks, coupled with a Reaganesque smile. Again, this is a technique for stroking emotions. It is important, because ultimately most politics is driven by emotion.

Donald is completely right that there is no time to be "politically correct"; but for the same reason, it is essential to be as effective in reaching a multi-faceted, mnulti-emotion driven, audience, as possible.

Good for Rush. Megyn Kelly's head is getting as big as Bill O’Reilly’s and that's not a compliment for those of you in Rio Linda.
