Didn't watch the debate. Did Fox do a "Gotcha Montage" on Jeb?

Nope. But I missed the segment where the crowd booed Cruz rather loudly.

Was this over the Wallace questioning?

Didn’t watch either, but I think it is hilarious that every debate ends up an endless “poor Ted Cruz” event. So disgusting. I remember the first debates they complained about Ted Cruz not getting as much time as others and then when the states came out he was in the upper half.....not another peep from the lovers. Amazing what a complainer Ted Cruz is. We have that in Obama and now Cruz will be complaining every moment. He is so repulsive.

“According to Tyler, Fox News took advantage of the fact that most voters are not familiar with how legislative battles work. Tyler pointed out that everyone in Washington, DC, at the time knew that Cruz was trying to insert “poison pill” amendments into the Gang of Eight legislation to kill the amnesty bill, such as inserting an amendment that would deny citizenship to the children of illegal aliens.”

The one thing wrong with that narrative is that is is wrong. The video Cruz made calling for legalization of illegals was not a part of the poison pill. His amendment had already failed.

Does anyone know how they intend to circumvent the agreement they’ve signed with RNC to only participate in RNC sanctioned debates,, or are they just blowing smoke?

Blindsided?

I hope they aren’t “whining”. I mean, are they “afraid of a girl” of something?

What did Cruz expect? Fox News is an arm of the Trump campaign. They have had Trump on more than all of the other candidates combined.

In many ways, Cruz is a stupid man. When he was buddying up to Trump, I said here on FR, Trump would turn on him and bash Cruz. People said, "Oh no, Cruz and Trump are allied and friends and working for the same thing." I said, "no way, Trump will attack him."

That didn't last long.

But if you think Trump is going after Cruz, wait until you see how badly he bashes Sarah Palin, when he gets to that stage. He swill stick the knife in deep.

Palin and Cruz may be conservative, but they forget all the conservative lessons you can trust. They thought they could trust a liberal, and boy, they are both going to learn a lesson on that one. Cruz and Palin: numbskulls who are going to win political Darwin Awards.

IIRC the DNC refused to have fox moderate any of their debates. I wonder why.

The Media has become the third candidate, controlling our choice for our leaders instead of REPORTING what Presidential candidates say.

Then at an after debate interview MK told Cruz that the "record says he is telling the truth".

Maybe she'll issue a retraction at the next debate.

I'm a Trump supporter, but I have to say this sh!t has to stop.

Fox ambushed the #2 and #3 candidates last night while leaving the rest unscathed. the bias was OBVIOUS.

No GOP candidate should participate in another debate sponsored by ANY media organization.

Debates should be sponsored by non-profits like VFW and League of Women Voters...media CHARGED to cover it.

RNC/DNC should vet mods and questions in advance.

If the media doesn't like it, tough. Don't cover it. There's plenty of media available for every candidate to get their message out without TV News.

It's time to damage THEM.

No, but this attempt by Cruz to debate again is hilarious.

Desperation 101. Cruz hasn’t won a debate yet.

..I believe Cruz knew it was coming, as did Trump. Cruz managed well, despite the packed audience, and even caused Kelly to eat her words after the debate.

At the end of the day, the only one who lost big was Fox News...

Oh, how surprising. The scum propagandists at FOX tried to take down Cruz. Cruz should have smashed the lecturn over Megan Kelly’s Nazi head. Had he done so, Cruz would be heading into the Iowa caucus as No. 1.

Stop trusting the filthy leftist media to treat you fairly.

The civility has left the place. I gotta admit, if the little sumbish Rubio ever called me a liar in public like he does to Cruz every other sentence he would end up with a broken nose.
